2 separable O.D.Es.
a) y s i n x + y c o s x = 2 c o s x
b) 1 + y 1 y = 1 y x 1 + y x
These are separable first order differential equations but i don't know where to start. I've tried substituting for u but it doesn't seem to work out. Thanks

HINT:
1. sin x d y d x + y cos x = 2 cos x
d y d x + y cot x = 2 cot x
2. 1 + y 1 y = 1 y x 1 + y x
1 + y 1 y + 1 = 1 y x 1 + y x + 1
2 1 y = 2 1 + y x
1 y = 1 + y x
d y d x = y x
Both the above differential equations are in the linear form

For (a).Divide by sin x to get y + y cot x = 2 cot x.The general method to solve the linear form
y + y f = g
is to let F = f and observe that
g . e F = y . e F + y . f . e F = ( y . e F )
so
y . e F = K + g . e F
with K constant.
