I was watching a youtube tutorial on Integrating Factors and I'm lost in a part where the derivative of: xy' + 1y becomes xy.



Please I need some clarification on that part.



Secondly.



I was watching a another youtube tutorial on Integrating Factors and I also got lost in this part.

I don't understand how the first line converts to the other, Please I also need some clarification here.



Thanks.

  • It's not that the "derivative of $xy'+y$ becomes $xy$", but the other way around. By the product rule, the derivative of $xy$ is $xy'+y$, which allows you to write one side of the ODE as $(xy)'$.

Suppose you have



$$xy'+1y=0$$



Notice that we have



this is that we have $$fracddx(xy)=xfracdydx+fracdxdxy=xy'+y$$



by product rule.



Similarly, for $$fracdydx+frac2x1+x^2y=0$$



By multiplying integrating factor of $(1+x^2)$, we have



$$(1+x^2) fracdydx+2xy=0$$



which can be written as



$$(1+x^2) fracdydx+fracd(1+x^2)dxcdot y$$



or



$$fracddx(y(1+x^2))=0$$

For your first question you just apply the product rule:



$fracddx(xy)=xfracdydx+y=xy'+x$

For your first question you just apply the product rule:



$fracddx(xy)=xfracdydx+y=xy'+x$
