Step 1: Rewriting the equation
Divide through by \( y \): \[ \frac{1}{y} (x + 2y^2) \frac{dy}{dx} = 1. \] Step 2: Find the integrating factor
The integrating factor \( \mu(y) \) is determined by identifying the dependency on \( y \) and multiplying the equation by \( \frac{1}{y} \).
Step 3: Verify integrating factor
After multiplying, the left-hand side becomes exact.
The integrating factor is \( \frac{1}{y} \), which matches option (D).
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
