dy + f ( x) y = g ( x), dx
f ( x ) dx We will multiply both sides by an integrating factor given by e , such that the above becomes
f ( x ) dx
f ( x ) dx f ( x ) dx f ( x ) dx dy + f ( x )e y = e g ( x) = h( x) , where h( x) = e g ( x) dx
This is equivalent through reduction (by the product rule for the LHS) to
d f ( x ) dx ye = h( x) dx
Integrating both sides wrt x gives ye
f ( x ) dx
= h( x)dx + C
[ h( x)dx + C ]
