Example 1: Is the following DE exact? If so, solve it. If not, try to find an integrating factor that will make it exact. These partials match, so the DE is exact. To solve an exact equation, we need to integrate either M or N, realizing that the answers should only differ by a function of the other variable. Our result will be an implicit solution Ψ(x, y)=c.

Integrating Factors Sometimes a DE can be made exact by multiplying through by some function. First put the equation in the form If there is an integrating factor that is a function of only one of the variables we can find it in the following way: In either case, multiply through the original equation by μ and the new DE should be exact.
