Integrating Factor Table

Let's consider,

P (x , y )dx +Q (x , y )dy = 0

And F (x ) as the Integrating Factor of the above equation, first calculate M as

follows:
M =

P Q

y x

So we can find F (x ) as below:

f ( x )dx
1) M = f (x ) F (x ) = e

f ( y )dy
2) M = f ( y ) F ( y ) = e

3)

f ( z )dz
M
= f (xy ) F (z ) = e
, z = xy
yQ xP
f ( z )dz
M
= f (x 2 + y 2 ) F (z ) = e
,z = x 2 + y 2
2 xQ yP

4) 1

5)

f ( z )dz
y 2M
x
x
= f ( ) F (z ) = e
,z =
xP + yQ
y
y

6) y f 1(xy ) dx + x f 2 (xy ) dy = 0 F =

1
xy [f 1(xy ) f 2 (xy )]

7) y (Kx a y b + Lx c y d )dx + x (Mx a y b + Nx c y d )dy = 0 F = x y
