The integrating factor of $\mathrm{y}+\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} x}(x \mathrm{y})=x(\sin x+\log x)$ is

  • A
    $x$
  • B
    $\log x^2$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $x^2$
  • D
    $x^3$

Solution

Rewriting the given differential equation $y + \frac{d}{dx}(xy) = x(\sin x + \log x)$ in standard form, we apply the product rule to $\frac{d}{dx}(xy)$ yielding $y + x\frac{dy}{dx}$.

Substituting gives $y + y + x\frac{dy}{dx} = x(\sin x + \log x)$ or $2y + x\frac{dy}{dx} = x(\sin x + \log x)$.

Dividing by $x$ produces $\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{2}{x}y = \sin x + \log x$, revealing $P(x) = \frac{2}{x}$.

The integrating factor is $e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int \frac{2}{x} dx} = e^{2\log|x|} = x^2$.

Final Answer: $\boxed{\text{C}}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
