Integrating factor of the differential equation \(x \frac{d y}{d x}-y=3 x^2\) is:

  1. A \(-x\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{x}\)
  3. C \(-\log x\)
  4. D \(e^{-\infty}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\frac{1}{x}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{d y}{d x} - \frac{1}{x}y = 3x\) \(P(x) = -\frac{1}{x}\) \(IF = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int -\frac{1}{x} dx} = e^{-\ln x} = e^{\ln x^{-1}} = \frac{1}{x}\)
