    Integrating factor of the differential equation \[\frac{dy}{dx}+y\tan x-\sec x=0\] is      [MP PET 2002]

    A)                 \[{{e}^{\sin x}}\]

    B)                 \[\frac{1}{\sin x}\]

    C)                 \[\frac{1}{\cos x}\]

    D)                 \[{{e}^{\cos x}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       \[\frac{dy}{dx}+y\tan x=\sec x\], where \[p=\tan x,\ \ Q=\sec x\]         This is the linear differential equation in y, hence                 I.F. \[={{e}^{\int_{{}}^{{}}{pdx}}}={{e}^{\int_{{}}^{{}}{\tan x\,dx}}}\];  I.F. \[={{e}^{\log \sec x}}=\sec x\].
