Linear Differential Equation

The linear differential equations are those in which the variable and its derivative occur only in the first degree.

An equation of the form

\frac{dy}{dx}+P(x)\cdot y=Q(x)\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\ldots\text{(i)}

Where P(x) and Q(x) are functions of x only or constant is called a linear equation of the first order.

To solve the differential equation (i)
\\\text{multiply both sides of Eq (i) by }\int e^{P(x)\;dx}\text{, we get}\\\\\mathrm{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}\mathrm{e}^{\int \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}+\mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{y}\right)=\mathrm{e}^{\int \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}} \cdot \mathrm{Q}(\mathrm{x})\\\\\mathrm{i.e.\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;e^{\int P(x) d x} \cdot \frac{d y}{d x}+y .P(x)\frac{d}{d x}\left(e^{\int P(x) d x}\right)=Q e^{\int P(x) d x}}\\\\\mathrm{or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\frac{d}{d x}\left(y e^{\int P(x) d x}\right)=e^{\int P(x) d x} \cdot Q(x)}\\\\\text{Integrating both sides, we get}\\\\\mathrm{or\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\int{d}\left(y e^{\int P(x) d x}\right)=\int\left (e^{\int P(x) d x} \cdot Q(x) \right )dx}\\\\\mathrm{\Rightarrow \;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\mathrm{y} \mathrm{e}^{\int \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}}=\int \mathrm{Q}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{e}^{\int \mathrm{P}(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}} \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}}

Which is the required solution of the given differential equation.

\\\mathrm{The\;term\; e^{\int P(x)\;dx}\;\;which \;convert\;the\;left\;hand\;expression\;of\;the\;equation}\\\text{into a perfect differential is called an Integrating factor (IF).}\\\\ {\text { Thus, we remember the solution of the above equation as }} \\ {\qquad y(\mathrm{IF})=\int Q(\mathrm{IF}) d x+C}

NOTE : 

Sometimes a given differential equation becomes linear if we take x as the dependent variable and y as the independent variable.
