Theorem
- $(1): \quad y' + y \cot x = 2 x \csc x$
has the general solution:
- $y = x^2 \csc x + C \csc x$
Proof
$(1)$ is in the form:
- $\dfrac {\d y} {\d x} + \map P x y = \map Q x$
where:
- $\map P x = \cot x$
Thus:
\(\ds \int \map P x \rd x\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \int \cot x \rd x\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \) | \(=\) | \(\ds \map \ln {\sin x}\) | ||||||||||||
\(\ds \leadsto \ \ \) | \(\ds e^{\int P \rd x}\) | \(=\) | \(\ds \sin x\) |
Thus from Solution by Integrating Factor, $(1)$ can be rewritten as:
- $\dfrac {\d} {\d x} y \sin x = 2 x$
and the general solution is:
- $y \sin x = x^2 + C$
or:
- $y = x^2 \csc x + C \csc x$
$\blacksquare$
