Exact Differential Equations

The differential equation of type
           (where M and N are function of x and y) is called an exact differential equation when
    ( where u is a function of x and y).

Examples :
   
    1.   is an exact differential equation as  

    2.   is an exact differential equation as 

    3. The differential equation 
 is an exact differential equations as 

Necessary and sufficient condition


Article. Find the necessary and sufficient condition that the equation   ( where M and N are function of x and y with the condition that   are continuous function of x and y) may be exact.

Proof  1. Necessary condition
                   

            2. Condition is sufficient

     

Integrating factor


An integrating factor (abbreviatef I.F) of a differential equation is such a factor such that if the equation is multiplied by it, the result equation is exact.

Five rules for finding integrating factor


If   is not exact and it is difficult to find integrating factor, then following five rules help us in finding integrating factor.

Rule 1. If the equation   is homogenous in x and y i.e. if M and N are homogenous function of the same degree in x and y, then   is an I.F. provided 

Rule 2. If the equation   is of the form  , then   is an I.F. provided  

Rule 3. If the equation   is a function of x only =f(x) then   is an I.F.

Rule 4. If the equation   is a function of y only =f(y) then   is an I.F.

Rule 5. If the equation is 
, then   is an I.F. when   .

Example


Q1. Solve the differential equation
