This is a first order linear differential equation of the form
![]()
Here, P = cot x and Q = 2 cos x
The integrating factor (I.F) of this differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
We have ![]()
![]()
∴ I.F = sin x [∵ elog x = x]
Hence, the solution of the differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
![]()
Let sin x = t
⇒ cosxdx = dt [Differentiating both sides]
By substituting this in the above integral, we get
![]()
Recall ![]()
![]()
![]()
⇒ yt = t2 + c
![]()
![]()
[∵ t = sin x]
Thus, the solution of the given differential equation is ![]()
