Transcribed Image Text:Determination of Integrating Factor
We have already mentioned in the previous lesson the aid of integrating factor in solving a
first-order linear differential equation and that the same idea sometimes works for a nonexact
differential equation
M(x, y)dx + N(x, y)dy = 0
(1).
We mean to say that it is sometimes possible to determine an integrating factor u(x, y)
such that after multiplying it to a given nonexact equation (1), the left side of the resulting
equation
u(x, y) M(x, y)dx + u(x, y)N(x, y)dy = 0 (2)
becomes an exact differential.
To determine such integrating factor u(x, y), recall the criterion for exactness. Equation (2)
is exact if and only if

If u satisfies (3), then u is an integrating factor for (1). Note that M, N,

are

known functions of r and y. To determine such function u, from (3), we have to solve for
a partial differential equation, but were not yet ready to do that. Thus, we first make an
assumption that u is a function of only one variable.
Let us first assume that u depends on a alone. Then, =

Solving for u, we have u(x) =
Similarly, if u depends on y alone, then we will have,

It is still not easy to determine u even after taking the integral of both sides of (4) if its
right side depends on both x and y. However, if after some algebraic simplications are made,

the expression
turns out to be dependent alone on the variable y, then (4)
is now a first-order ordinary differential equation and we can finally solved for u in (4) by
separation of variables. That is,
