Q53:
Integrating factor of the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} + y \tan x - \sec x = 0$ is:

Solution :

Step 1: Standardizing the Differential Equation

To determine the Integrating Factor (IF) of a linear differential equation, it must first be expressed in the standard form:
$\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$
Given equation: $\frac{dy}{dx} + y \tan x - \sec x = 0$
Rearranging terms to isolate the function of $x$ on the right-hand side [Per the definition of Linear First-Order Differential Equations]:
$\frac{dy}{dx} + (\tan x)y = \sec x$

Step 2: Identifying the Coefficient Function $P(x)$

By comparing the rearranged equation to the standard form, we identify:
$P(x) = \tan x$
$Q(x) = \sec x$

Step 3: Calculating the Integrating Factor (IF)

The formula for the Integrating Factor is defined as:
$IF = e^{\int P(x) \, dx}$
Substituting $P(x) = \tan x$:
$IF = e^{\int \tan x \, dx}$
Using the standard integral formula $\int \tan x \, dx = \ln |\sec x|$ [By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus/Integration]:
$IF = e^{\ln |\sec x|}$

Step 4: Simplifying the Expression

Applying the logarithmic identity $e^{\ln f(x)} = f(x)$ [By the property of logarithmic functions]:
$IF = \sec x$

y = sec(x) IF = sec(x)

Final Solution: The Integrating Factor is $\sec x$.

My students have consistently scored 90+. My focus is always on clarity of fundamentals concepts.I can assure you that chemistry will become your favourite subject.I have taught students of best schools of Delhi and I know where some of school teachers lack which drives students away from chemistry.They start hating chemistry but my students love chemistry.Join for at least one month and experience it yourself.
