Solve the following differential equations:
Given
This is a first order linear differential equation of the form
Here, P = y–2 and Q = y–3
The integrating factor (I.F) of this differential equation is,
We have
Hence, the solution of the differential equation is,
Let
[Differentiating both sides]
By substituting this in the above integral, we get
Recall
⇒ xt = –{t log t – t} + c
⇒ xt = –t log t + t + c
Thus, the solution of the given differential equation is
