Proof to Modified Exact Equation MethodΒΆ

given

\[Mdx+Ndy=0\]

try to use the factor \(\mu\) to make the 1st ODE the exact equation

\[ \begin{gather} \mu Mdx+\mu Ndy=0\\ \downarrow\\ \frac{\partial \mu M}{\partial y}=\frac{\partial \mu N}{\partial x}\\ \downarrow\\ \mu_y M + \mu M_y = \mu_x N + \mu N_x\\ \downarrow\\ \mu = \frac{\mu_x N - \mu_y M}{M_y - N_x} \end{gather} \]

assume \(\mu\) and \((M_y-N_x)/M\) is only dependent to \(y\)

\[\therefore\mu_x = 0\]

implies

\[\mu = \frac{M}{N_x-M_y}\frac{d\mu}{dy}\]

using separable varable method

\[\mu(y) = e^{\int {\frac{(N_x-M_y)}{M}dy}}\]

simiar solution in the case that assume \(\mu\) is only dependent to x.
