Differentiation

(1-x^2)dy/dx +xy=5x

Here is the intergrating factor x/(1-x^2)?
If so how do I integrate that?? :confused:
What have you learnt about integrating factors so far?

No.

Post your working!


I was intergrating x/1-x^2
This '/' is my intergral sign
So I put -0.5/(-2x/(1-x^2)

So when I intergrate that it becomes -0.5ln(1-x^2) :confused:

You are correct. Forget my last post :tongue:

Now multiply that by the original ODE. Can you take it from there?
