I am asked to find the general solution to:
[itex]\dfrac{dy}{dx}\sin x + y \sec x = \cos^2 x[/itex]
I don't quite know where I am going with this one; by simply looking at it, I can't seem to see what I would differentiate in order to get the left side and equally, I don't know if dividing through by and finding the integrating factor is a good idea either.
I need a nudge in the correct direction really! Sorry if I am not spotting anything glaringly obvious. I have just started looking at this topic a few hours ago.
Thanks very much in advance
