Thread: First order linear Differential eq

1. Find the solution to 2y'+y=x that goes through (-1;e-3)


2. The Functions y(x) = lnx och x(v)=cosv, determine dy/dv

How do I solve these problems?

You need to use the integrating factor method. Firstly divide the equation through by 2 to give...



the condition (-1,e-3) will be used to solve the constant of integration once finished.

Here is a different D.E solved with the integrating factor method. Have a look.
