Integrating factor for linear DE for JEE
Solution of a homogeneous and linear differential equation of the type dy/dx + p(x)y = q(x)
Formula
\(\mathrm{I.F.}=e^{\int p(x)\,dx}\)
Variables: \(p(x)\) is the coefficient of \(y\) in \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}+p(x)y=q(x)\).
Conditions: Applicable to first-order linear equations in standard form.
