$\textsf{Find the general solution of the given differential equation(book answer in red)}$
$$y^\prime + (1/x)y=\sin x \quad x>0, \qquad \color{red}
{\frac{c}{x}+\frac{\sin x}{x}-\cos x} $$
ok first $u=1/x$ and $x=1/u$ then
$$u(x) = \exp\int u \, du = e^{\ln(u)}=u +c$$
proceed or ?

We can see the integrating factor is $\mu(x)=x$ and so the ODE will become:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}(xy)=x\sin(x)\)

Upon integrating, we get:

\(\displaystyle xy=\sin(x)-x\cos(x)+c_1\)

Hence:

\(\displaystyle y(x)=\frac{\sin(x)}{x}-\cos(x)+\frac{c_1}{x}\)

wait why would $u(x)=x$

wait why would $u(x)=x$

\(\displaystyle \mu(x)=\exp\left(\int\frac{1}{x}\,dx\right)=e^{\ln(x)}=x\)
