Definition: Linear Differential Equations

A linear differential equation of first order and first degree is
\[\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}+\mathrm{P}y=\mathrm{Q}\], where P and Q are the functions of x or constants. Its general solution is  \[y.\left(\mathrm{I.F.}\right)=\int\mathrm{Q.}\left(\mathrm{I.F.}\right)\mathrm{d}x+\mathrm{c}\] and the function \[\mathrm{e}^{\int\mathrm{Pdx}}\] is called the integrating factor (I.F.) of the given equation.

Key Points

Key Points: Linear Differential Equations

(i) Write the equation in the form dy/dx + Py = Q

(ii) Identify P and Q

(iii) Find I.F. = \[\mathrm{e}^{\int\mathrm{Pdx}}\]

(iv) Multiply the whole equation by I.F.

(v) Integrate and get a solution.

Key Points: Equations Reducible to Linear Equations
  • Some equations are not linear in the given variables.

  • By a suitable change of variables, they can be reduced to linear equations.

  • After substitution, the equations become linear in the new variables.

  • Denominators must not be zero.
