The integrating factor of the differential equation cos⁡xdydx+ysin⁡x=1\cos x \frac{dy}{dx} + y\sin x = 1 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Divide by cos⁡x\cos x: dydx+ytan⁡x=sec⁡x\frac{dy}{dx} + y\tan x = \sec x.

This is linear in yy with P(x)=tan⁡xP(x) = \tan x.

Integrating factor =e∫tan⁡x dx=eln⁡∣sec⁡x∣=sec⁡x= e^{\int \tan x\,dx} = e^{\ln|\sec x|} = \sec x.
