admits an integrating factor which is a function of (?? +?? ?? ) . Hence, solve the 
equation. 
(2010 : 12 Marks) 
Solution: 
Given the equation is 
(3?? 2
-?? )+2?? (?? 2
-3?? )?? =0 
or                                              (3?? 2
-?? )???? +2?? (?? 2
-3?? )???? =0 
?????? ,??????                                                                                          ?? =?? +?? 2
 
                                                                                                        ?? 2
=?? -?? and 2?????? =???? -???? 
? Equation becomes (3(?? -?? )-?? )???? +(?? -?? -3?? )×(???? -???? )=0 
?                                         (3?? -4?? )???? +(?? -4?? )(???? -???? )=0 
?                          3?????? -4?????? +?????? -4?????? -?????? +4?????? =0 
?                                                                      2?????? +(?? -4?? )???? =0 
Now, if integrating factor is a function of ?? +?? 2
, then equation becomes 
2???? (?? )???? +(?? -4?? )?? (?? )???? =0 
?                      2???? (?? )???? +(?? -4?? )?? (?? )???? =
??? ??? ???? +
??? ??? ???? =???? 
Comparing LHS & RHS, we get 
and 
??? ??? =2???? (?? )?
?
2
?? ??? ??? =2?? (?? )+2?? ??? ??? 
 and 
??? ??? =(?? -4?? )?? (?? )?
??? ??? ??? =-4?? (?? )
? 2?? (?? )+2?? ??? ??? =-4?? (?? )
? 6?? (?? )+2?? ??? ??? =0
? ?? ??? ??? =-3?? ? -3
??? ?? =
??? ?? 
Integrating both sides, we get 
?? (?? )=
?? ?? 3
=
?? (?? +?? 2
)
3
 where ?? is a constant.  
? integrating factor is 
?? (?? +?? 2
)=
1
(?? +?? 2
)

Multiplying eqn, by 
1
?? 3
, we get 
2?? ?? 3
???? +(?? -4?? )
????
?? 3
 =0
?                                     ?? (
2?? -?? ?? 2
) =0
?                                            
2?? -?? ?? 2
 =?? , where ?? is a constant. 
 
? Solution of equation is 
?                                                                      2?? -?? -?? ?? 2
=0 
?                                         2?? -(?? +?? 2
)-?? (?? +?? 2
)
2
=0 
? ?? -?? 2
-?? (?? +?? 2
)
2
=0, where ?? is a constant, is the required solution of the 
equation. 
 
2.4 Verify that: 
?? ?? (???? +???? )?? (??????
?? ???? )+
?? ?? (???? -???? )?? (??????
?? 
?? ?? )=?????? +?????? 
Hence show that: 
(i) if the differential equation ?????? +?????? =?? is homogenous then (???? +???? )
-?? is 
an integrating factor unless ?? ?? +???? =?? . 
(ii) if the differential equation ?????? +?????? =?? is not exact but is of the form 
?? ?? (?? ,?? )?????? +?? ?? (?? ,?? )?????? =?? 
then (???? -???? )
-?? is an integrating factor unless ???? -???? =?? .
