(A) For a linear differential equation of the form $\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$,the integrating factor $(IF)$ is defined as $IF = e^{\int P(x) dx}$.Let $u = e^{\int P(x) dx}$.Then,$\frac{du}{dx} = e^{\int P(x) dx} \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(\int P(x) dx) = u \cdot P(x)$.This implies $\frac{du}{dx} - P(x)u = 0$.Since the integrating factor $u$ satisfies this equation,the correct option is $\frac{dy}{dx} - P(x)y = 0$.
