B. Its integrating factor (I.F.) is e∫Pdxe^{\int Pdx}

C. Its solution is given by x(I.F.)=∫Q(I.F.)dy+Cx(I.F.) = \int Q(I.F.)dy + C

D. Its solution is given by y(I.F.)=∫Q(I.F.)dx+Cy(I.F.) = \int Q(I.F.)dx + C

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

With xx as the dependent variable and yy as the independent one, the linear equation has integrating factor e∫P dye^{\int P\,dy}.

The solution then reads x(I.F.)=∫Q(I.F.) dy+Cx(I.F.) = \int Q(I.F.)\,dy + C. Hence A and C.
