Exact Differential Equation -
A differential equation of the type P(x, y) dx + Q (x, y) dy = 0 is called an exact differential equation if there exists a function of two variables u(x, y) with continuous partial derivatives such that
The general solution of the exact equation is given by
u (x, y) = C
Where C is an arbitrary constant.
In some cases the integrating factor is found by inspection. Using the following exact differentials, it is easy to find the integrating factors :
