Solve each of the following initial value problems:
, 
, ![]()
Given
and ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
This is a first order linear differential equation of the form
![]()
Here,
and ![]()
The integrating factor (I.F) of this differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
We have ![]()
![]()
∴ I.F = x [∵ elog x = x]
Hence, the solution of the differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
⇒ xy = x sin x + c
![]()
![]()
However, when
, we have y = 1

![]()
![]()
∴ c = 0
By substituting the value of c in the equation for y, we get
![]()
∴ y = sin x
Thus, the solution of the given initial value problem is y = sin x
