Hi, sometimes one need a auxilary variable, that has no meaning because it is used as integration variable or as summation index. But Mathematica can't perform the integration or summation. When Mathematica needs such a variable it names it <letter>$<number> and this is what you see.

I Searched entire online help and wolfram website | and I couldn't find anything on this K$. Here is an example: | In[5]:= | DSolve[Derivative[1][f][x]* | Derivative[1][g][x] == | D[f[x]*g[x], x], f[x], x] | | | Out[5]= | {{f[x] -> E^Integrate[ | -(Derivative[1][g][ | K$74]/(g[K$74] - | Derivative[1][g][ | K$74])), {K$74, 1, | x}]*C[1]}} | |
