Question

An integrating factor of the differential equation (2x2+y2+x)dx+xydy=0(2x^2+y^2+x)dx+xy dy=0 is​

A.

1x\frac1x​​

B.

exe^x​​

C.

1xy\frac1{xy}​​

D.

xx​​

Correct option is D

Solution:

Given differential equation: (2x2+y2+x) dx+xy dy=0 M(x,y)=2x2+y2+x,N(x,y)=xy Check for exactness: My=2y,Nx=y =>Not exact since MyNx Try integrating factor μ(x)=x:  x(2x2+y2+x) dx+x(xy) dy =(2x3+xy2+x2) dx+x2y dy M=2x3+xy2+x2,N=x2y My=2xy,Nx=2xy=>Exact equationCorrect integrating factor is μ(x)=x\text{Given differential equation:} \\\ \\(2x^2 + y^2 + x)\,dx + xy\,dy = 0 \\\ \\M(x, y) = 2x^2 + y^2 + x,\quad N(x, y) = xy \\\ \\\text{Check for exactness:} \\\ \\\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2y,\quad \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = y \\\ \\\Rightarrow \text{Not exact since } \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} \ne \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} \\\ \\\text{Try integrating factor } \mu(x) = x: \\\ \\\ \\x(2x^2 + y^2 + x)\,dx + x(xy)\,dy \\\ \\= (2x^3 + x y^2 + x^2)\,dx + x^2 y\,dy \\\ \\M = 2x^3 + x y^2 + x^2,\quad N = x^2 y \\\ \\\frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = 2x y,\quad \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = 2x y \\\Rightarrow \text{Exact equation} \\\boxed{\text{Correct integrating factor is } \mu(x) = x}
