MATH 208 Differential Equations

For a differential equation of the form,

𝑀𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁𝑑𝑦 = 0

If a certain factor, u, can be multiplied on both sides of this equation

𝑢𝑀𝑑𝑥 + 𝑢𝑁𝑑𝑦 = 0

𝜕 𝜕
such that, 𝑢𝑀 = 𝑢𝑁 , then u is an integrating factor of the differential
𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥
equation.

Rules in determining the integrating factor u:

1 𝜕𝑁 𝜕𝑀
1. If − = 𝑢(𝑦), then the integrating factor 𝑢 = 𝑒 ‫𝑔 ׬‬ 𝑦 𝑑𝑦
𝑀 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦

1 𝜕𝑀 𝜕𝑁
2. If − = 𝑢(𝑥), then the integrating factor 𝑢 = 𝑒 ‫𝑓 ׬‬ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑁 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥

If none of the above rules are satisfied, then the differential equation does not have
an integrating factor. The differential equation is therefore solved using another
method.

Steps:

1. Determine the Integrating Factor if it is:


1 𝜕𝑁 𝜕𝑀
 If − = 𝑢(𝑦), then the integrating factor 𝑢 = 𝑒 ‫𝑔 ׬‬ 𝑦 𝑑𝑦
𝑀 𝜕𝑥 𝜕𝑦
1 𝜕𝑀 𝜕𝑁
 If − = 𝑢(𝑥), then the integrating factor 𝑢 = 𝑒 ‫𝑓 ׬‬ 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝑁 𝜕𝑦 𝜕𝑥

2. Multiply the Integrating Factor to your Differential


Equation.
3. Solve via Exact Method.

2𝑦 𝑥 2 − 𝑦 + 𝑥 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥 2 − 2𝑦 𝑑𝑦 = 0

𝑦 8𝑥 − 9𝑦 𝑑𝑥 + 2𝑥 𝑥 − 3𝑦 𝑑𝑦 = 0

If the differential equation 𝑀𝑑𝑥 + 𝑁𝑑𝑦 = 0 can be written as
𝑑𝑦
+ 𝑃 𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑄 𝑥 𝑦 𝑛 , or
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑥
+ 𝑃 𝑦 𝑥 = 𝑄(𝑦)𝑥 𝑛
𝑑𝑦
Where n  0, then, the differential equation is in the form of Bernoulli’s equation.

A Bernoulli’s equation of the form
𝑑𝑦
+ 𝑃 𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑄 𝑥 𝑦𝑛
𝑑𝑥
Can be written as
𝑑𝑦
𝑦 −𝑛 + 𝑃 𝑥 𝑦 −𝑛+1 = 𝑄 𝑥
𝑑𝑥
This form can be solved by substituting u for y-n+1, then differentiating the resulting
function in terms of x.
𝑢 = 𝑦 −𝑛+1
𝑑𝑢 = (1 − 𝑛)𝑦 −𝑛 𝑑𝑦
𝑑𝑢
= 𝑦 −𝑛 𝑑𝑦
(1 − 𝑛)

The Bernoulli’s equation can therefore be written in the form
1 𝑑𝑢
+ 𝑃 𝑥 𝑢 = 𝑄(𝑥)
(1 − 𝑛) 𝑑𝑥
Or,
𝑑𝑢
+ 1−𝑛 𝑃 𝑥 𝑢 = 1−𝑛 𝑄 𝑥
𝑑𝑥
Which is in the form of a linear equation of order one. The integrating factor

1−𝑛 𝑃 𝑥 𝑑𝑥
𝐼𝑛𝑡. 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑜𝑟 = 𝑒 ‫׬‬

Is then multiplied to the equation to make it an exact equation.

𝑑𝑥
2. Substitute 𝑢 = 𝑦 −𝑛+1 and 𝑑𝑢 = (1 − 𝑛)𝑦 −𝑛 𝑑𝑦
3. Resulting equation should be Linear now:
