   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   A first-order linear ODE in $y$; using the integrating factor $\sec x+\tan x$ and rewriting it as $(1+\sin x)/\cos x$ yields option (C).

   Concept and Intuition

   After dividing by $\cos x$, the equation becomes linear in $y$ with integrating factor $e^{\int \sec x\,dx}=\sec x+\tan x$ (a standard integral). Since $\sec x+\tan x=\frac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}$, the solution can be rewritten multiplying through by $\cos x$, which is exactly the form the answer choices use.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Start with $y+\cos x\,\dfrac{dy}{dx}-\cos^2 x=0$. Divide by $\cos x$: $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y\sec x=\cos x$.
   2. This is linear: $P(x)=\sec x$, $Q(x)=\cos x$. Integrating factor $\mu=e^{\int \sec x\,dx}=e^{\log|\sec x+\tan x|}=\sec x+\tan x$.
   3. The solution is $y\cdot\mu=\int Q\cdot\mu\,dx$: $y(\sec x+\tan x)=\int \cos x(\sec x+\tan x)\,dx=\int(1+\sin x)\,dx=x-\cos x+C.$
   4. Now write $\sec x+\tan x=\dfrac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}$, so $y\cdot\dfrac{1+\sin x}{\cos x}=x-\cos x+C$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This is a first-order linear ODE in $x$ as a function of $y$; finding the right integrating factor is the crux. Answer: option (C).

   Concept and Intuition

   Grouping the $dx$ terms and $dy$ terms shows this is linear in $x$ (treating $y$ as the independent variable), of the form $\frac{dx}{dy}+P(y)x=Q(y)$. The integrating factor $e^{\int P\,dy}$ simplifies neatly once we split $2\cos y/(\cos y+\sin y)$ using the identity for a sum/difference of sine and cosine.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Expand: $(1+\tan y)dx - (1+\tan y)dy + 2x\,dy = 0 \Rightarrow (1+\tan y)dx + \left[2x-(1+\tan y)\right]dy=0$.
   2. Divide by $(1+\tan y)\,dy$: $\dfrac{dx}{dy} + \dfrac{2x}{1+\tan y} = 1$.
   3. Write $\dfrac{2}{1+\tan y} = \dfrac{2\cos y}{\cos y+\sin y}$. Using $2\cos y=(\cos y+\sin y)+(\cos y-\sin y)$: $\frac{2\cos y}{\cos y+\sin y}=1+\frac{\cos y-\sin y}{\cos y+\sin y}.$
   4. Integrating factor: $\mu(y)=\exp\!\left[\int\left(1+\frac{\cos y-\sin y}{\cos y+\sin y}\right)dy\right] = \exp\left[y+\log|\cos y+\sin y|\right] = e^y(\cos y+\sin y)$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This is a first-order linear ODE that becomes linear in $x$ (not $y$) once you recognise the $\tan^{-1}y$ integrating factor. The answer is (D).

   Concept and Intuition

   When the equation is not linear in $y$ but treating $x$ as the dependent variable (function of $y$) makes it linear, we should switch roles: write it as $\dfrac{dx}{dy}+P(y)x=Q(y)$ and use the integrating factor $e^{\int P\,dy}$.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Given: $(1+y^2)+(x-e^{\tan^{-1}y})\dfrac{dy}{dx}=0$.
   2. Rearranging: $(x-e^{\tan^{-1}y})\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-(1+y^2)$, so $\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{x-e^{\tan^{-1}y}}{-(1+y^2)}=\dfrac{e^{\tan^{-1}y}-x}{1+y^2}$.
   3. This gives the linear form: $\dfrac{dx}{dy}+\dfrac{1}{1+y^2}x=\dfrac{e^{\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2}$.
   4. Integrating factor: $I=e^{\int \frac{dy}{1+y^2}}=e^{\tan^{-1}y}$.
   5. Multiply through: $\dfrac{d}{dy}\left(x\,e^{\tan^{-1}y}\right)=e^{\tan^{-1}y}\cdot\dfrac{e^{\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2}=\dfrac{e^{2\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2}$.
   6. Let $t=\tan^{-1}y$, so $dt=\dfrac{dy}{1+y^2}$. Then $\int e^{2t}\,dt=\tfrac12 e^{2t}$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The equation is linear in $y$ with integrating factor $1+\sin^2x$; once multiplied through, the left side collapses to $\frac{d}{dx}[(1+\sin^2x)y]$ and the right side integrates cleanly.

   Concept and Intuition

   A first-order linear ODE $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+P(x)y=Q(x)$ has integrating factor $e^{\int P\,dx}$. Here, spotting that the RHS conveniently factors to cancel the $(1+\sin^2x)$ divisor makes $Q(x)$ simplify to just $\cos x$, and $P(x)=\dfrac{\sin2x}{1+\sin^2x}$ integrates to $\log(1+\sin^2x)$ neatly.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Divide by $(1+\sin^2x)$: $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+\dfrac{\sin2x}{1+\sin^2x}y=\dfrac{\cos x+\sin^2x\cos x}{1+\sin^2x}$.
   2. RHS numerator factors: $\cos x+\sin^2x\cos x=\cos x(1+\sin^2x)$, so RHS $=\cos x$ exactly. Equation becomes: $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+\dfrac{\sin2x}{1+\sin^2x}y=\cos x$.
   3. Integrating factor: $\mu=e^{\int \frac{\sin2x}{1+\sin^2x}dx}$. Since $\dfrac{d}{dx}(1+\sin^2x)=2\sin x\cos x=\sin2x$, the integral is $\log(1+\sin^2x)$, so $\mu=1+\sin^2x$.
   4. Multiply through: $\dfrac{d}{dx}\big[(1+\sin^2x)y\big]=(1+\sin^2x)\cos x=\cos x+\sin^2x\cos x$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Treating $x$ as the dependent variable turns this into a linear ODE with integrating factor $\tan y$, giving $3x\tan y+\cos^3y=c$.

   Concept and Intuition

   When an ODE is not linear in $y$ but becomes linear if we treat $x$ as a function of $y$ instead, switching the roles of dependent/independent variable is the key move — here $dx/dy$ appears linearly in $x$, so it is a standard first-order linear equation solvable via an integrating factor.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Given: $(\sin y\cos^2y - x\sec^2y)\,dy=\tan y\,dx$. Solve for $dx/dy$: $\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\dfrac{\sin y\cos^2y-x\sec^2y}{\tan y}$.
   2. Split: $\dfrac{\sin y\cos^2y}{\tan y}=\sin y\cos^2y\cdot\dfrac{\cos y}{\sin y}=\cos^3y$, and $\dfrac{\sec^2y}{\tan y}=\dfrac{1}{\cos^2y}\cdot\dfrac{\cos y}{\sin y}=\dfrac{1}{\sin y\cos y}$.
   3. So $\dfrac{dx}{dy}=\cos^3y-\dfrac{x}{\sin y\cos y}$, i.e. $\dfrac{dx}{dy}+\dfrac{x}{\sin y\cos y}=\cos^3y$ — linear in $x$.
   4. Integrating factor: $\mu=\exp\left(\displaystyle\int\dfrac{dy}{\sin y\cos y}\right)$. Since $\dfrac{d}{dy}\log(\tan y)=\dfrac{\sec^2y}{\tan y}=\dfrac{1}{\sin y\cos y}$, we get $\mu=\tan y$.
   5. Then $\dfrac{d}{dy}(x\tan y)=\cos^3y\cdot\tan y=\cos^3y\cdot\dfrac{\sin y}{\cos y}=\cos^2y\sin y$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   This tests recognizing an exact-differential grouping ($y\,dx+x\,dy=d(xy)$) to reduce the equation to a separable one; the answer is (B).

   Concept and Intuition

   The equation $y\,dx+(x+x^2y)\,dy=0$ looks messy until you notice that $y\,dx+x\,dy$ is exactly $d(xy)$. Recognizing hidden exact-differential combinations (like $d(xy)$, $d(x/y)$, $d(x^2+y^2)$) is often the fastest route through an ODE that doesn't look separable or linear at first glance.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Rewrite: $y\,dx+x\,dy+x^2y\,dy=0$.
   2. Since $d(xy)=x\,dy+y\,dx$, this becomes $d(xy)+x^2y\,dy=0$.
   3. Let $u=xy$, so $x=u/y$. Then $x^2y = \dfrac{u^2}{y^2}\cdot y=\dfrac{u^2}{y}$.
   4. Substituting: $du+\dfrac{u^2}{y}dy=0 \Rightarrow \dfrac{du}{u^2}=-\dfrac{dy}{y}$.
   5. Integrate both sides: $-\dfrac{1}{u}=-\log y+c_1$. …

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Recognising $P(x)=\sec x/(\cos x+\sin x)$ as $\sec^2x/(1+\tan x)$ gives the integrating factor $1+\tan x$; the equation then integrates cleanly to $\sec x(\cos x+\sin x)y=\sin x+c$.

   Concept and Intuition

   For a linear ODE $y'+P(x)y=Q(x)$, the integrating factor is $e^{\int P\,dx}$. Spotting that a messy $P(x)$ is secretly of the form $\dfrac{u'(x)}{u(x)}$ for some simple $u(x)$ (here $u=1+\tan x$) instantly gives $\int P\,dx=\log|u|$ without a hard integration.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Here $P(x)=\dfrac{\sec x}{\cos x+\sin x}$. Multiply numerator and denominator by $\sec x$: $\dfrac{\sec^2x}{\sec x(\cos x+\sin x)}=\dfrac{\sec^2x}{1+\tan x}$ (since $\cos x(\cos x+\sin x)=\cos^2x(1+\tan x)$).
   2. So $P(x)=\dfrac{\sec^2x}{1+\tan x}=\dfrac{d}{dx}\log(1+\tan x)$, giving integrating factor $\mathrm{IF}=1+\tan x$.
   3. $Q(x)=\dfrac{\cos x}{1+\tan x}$, so $Q\cdot\mathrm{IF}=\dfrac{\cos x}{1+\tan x}\cdot(1+\tan x)=\cos x$.
   4. The linear-ODE solution is $y\cdot\mathrm{IF}=\int Q\cdot\mathrm{IF}\,dx+c$: $(1+\tan x)y=\displaystyle\int\cos x\,dx+c=\sin x+c$. …

   A Bernoulli equation in disguise; the substitution $v=1/y$ linearizes it, and the initial condition $y(1)=1$ pins down the constant to give $y=\dfrac{1}{x(1+\log x)}$.

   Concept and Intuition

   An equation of the form $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+P(x)y=Q(x)y^n$ is a Bernoulli equation. Dividing by $y^n$ and substituting $v=y^{1-n}$ converts it into a linear first-order ODE in $v$, which can then be solved with the standard integrating-factor method.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Given $x\,dy+(y+y^2x)\,dx=0$. Divide by $dx$: $x\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y+y^2x=0$.
   2. Divide by $x$: $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+\dfrac{y}{x}=-y^2$ — a Bernoulli equation with $n=2$.
   3. Divide throughout by $y^2$: $y^{-2}\dfrac{dy}{dx}+\dfrac{1}{xy}=-1$.
   4. Let $v=y^{-1}$, so $\dfrac{dv}{dx}=-y^{-2}\dfrac{dy}{dx}$, i.e. $y^{-2}\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{dv}{dx}$.
   5. Substitute: $-\dfrac{dv}{dx}+\dfrac{v}{x}=-1 \Rightarrow \dfrac{dv}{dx}-\dfrac{v}{x}=1$, a linear ODE in $v$.
   6. Integrating factor $=e^{\int -1/x\,dx}=e^{-\log x}=\dfrac{1}{x}$.

   The first two terms of the equation are exactly $d(ye^x)$; separating out the remaining $x\,dx$ term and integrating directly gives the solution.

   Concept and Intuition

   Many differential equations that look complicated are secretly "exact" — the left side is the total differential of some simple combination of $x$ and $y$. Spotting the pattern $u\,dv+v\,du=d(uv)$ (here with $u=y,\ v=e^x$) turns an equation that looks like it needs an integrating factor into a one-line integration.

   Step-by-Step Solution

   1. Given: $e^xy\,dx+e^x\,dy+x\,dx=0$.
   2. Recall $d(ye^x)=y\,d(e^x)+e^x\,dy=ye^x\,dx+e^x\,dy$ — exactly the first two terms of the given equation.
   3. So the equation becomes $d(ye^x)+x\,dx=0$, i.e. $d(ye^x)=-x\,dx$.
   4. Integrate both sides: $ye^x=-\dfrac{x^2}{2}+C$.
   5. Multiply through by 2: $2ye^x=-x^2+2C$, i.e. $2ye^x+x^2=c$ (writing $c=2C$).

    Concept and Intuition

    The presence of $\cos^2 y$ and $\sin 2y=2\sin y\cos y$ is a strong hint to divide through by $\cos^2 y$: this turns every $y$-term into a function of $\tan y$, because $\sin 2y/\cos^2y = 2\tan y$. Substituting $t=\tan y$ then reduces the equation to the standard linear form $\dfrac{dt}{dx}+P(x)t=Q(x)$, solvable by an integrating factor.

    1. Start with $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=x^3\cos^2y - x\sin2y = x^3\cos^2 y - 2x\sin y\cos y$.
    2. Divide both sides by $\cos^2 y$: $\sec^2y\dfrac{dy}{dx} = x^3 - 2x\tan y$.

    This is a first-order linear ODE in $y$; the integrating factor $e^{\tan^{-1}x}$ turns the left side into an exact derivative, and the initial condition fixes the constant to $1$.

    Concept and Intuition

    Any equation of the form $(1+x^2)y' + y = g(x)$ is linear, since dividing by $(1+x^2)$ gives $y' + \dfrac{y}{1+x^2} = \dfrac{g(x)}{1+x^2}$, and the coefficient of $y$, $\dfrac{1}{1+x^2}$, integrates to $\tan^{-1}x$ — so the integrating factor is always $e^{\tan^{-1}x}$ for this family of equations.
