### How to solve this Differential equation(Integrating-factor)?

Can someone help me with this differential equation. $$y\tan(x) + \frac{e^{xy}}{\cos^2(x)} + x\tan(x)y' = 0$$ I guess it should be used integrating-factor but I can't solve it.

### Using an Integrating Factor to solve differential equation

I am trying to solve $$(x^2y^3+y)dx+(x^3y^2-x)dy=0$$ First of all we check this equation for exactness $\frac{\partial P}{\partial y}=3y^2x^2+1$ $\frac{\partial Q}{\partial x}=3x^2y^2-1$ The ...

### Why is this first-order ODE amenable to the method of integrating factor/separable?

Background We know that the first order differential equation in the form $$\frac{dy}{dx}+p(x)y=q(x)$$ is amenable to the method of integrating factor Question How is this first order equation ...

### Common integrating factor of two differential equations.

The following differential equations have a common integrating factor. $$(3y+4xy^2)dx+(4x+5x^2y)dy=0$$ $$(6y+x^2y^2)dx+(8x+x^3y)dy=0$$ I have to find this integrating factor. I have arrived to ...

### Determining integrating factor

Consider $$2x^2y\ln(y)+(x^3+x)y'=0$$ I want to determine the integrating factor $m(x,y)$ of the form $m(x,y)=m(xy)$. Let $a(x,y):=2x^2y\ln(y)$ and $b(x)=x^3+x$. So I want to find $m(x,y)$ such ...
I'm stuck in trying to solve the following ODE: $$y'' + 4xy' + (2+4x^2)y = 0$$ I tried finding an integration factor as if it was exact but I have not succeed. I also tried by trying to get rid of ...
