Product derivative after multiplying by integrating factor for JEE
Solution of a homogeneous and linear differential equation of the type dy/dx + p(x)y = q(x)
Formula
\(\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[y\,e^{\int p(x)dx}\right]=q(x)e^{\int p(x)dx}\)
Variables: \(y\) is the dependent variable, \(p(x),q(x)\) are given functions.
Conditions: Equation must be in the form \(\dfrac{dy}{dx}+p(x)y=q(x)\).
Key transformation step in integrating factor method.
