y y2 [Bernoulli’s equation P( x) y f ( x) y n with n 2]
dx x 1 x 2 dx

1 dy du dy 1 1
Let y u1 n u 1 . Then u 2
. Now, y y2
dx dx dx x 1 x 2

2 du 1 1 1 2 du 1 1
u u u u (Multiply each term by u 2)
dx x 1 x 2 dx x 1 x 2

P ( x ) dx dx
x 1
Integrating factor, I e e x 1

du 1 1 du 1 1
From u , we have I I u I
dx x 1 x 2 dx x 1 x 2

d x 1
(Iu)
dx x 2
