Question
The integrating factor of the differential equation dydx=y tan xy2 sec x is  
[MP PET 1995; Pb. CET 2002]
 
Options:
A .  tan x
B .  secx
C .  -sec x
D .  cot x
Answer: Option B
:
B
The differential equation
is dydxytanx=y2secxI.F.=etanxdx
This is Bernoulli's equation i.e. reducible to
linear equation.
Dividing the equation by y2, we get
1y2dydx1ytanx=secx............(i)
Put 1y=y1y2dydx=dYdx
Equation (i) reduces todydx=ytanx=secxdYdx+Ytanx=secx, Which is a linear equation
Hence I.F.=etanxdx=secx.
