Solve each of the following initial value problems:
y’ + y = ex, 
y’ + y = ex, ![]()
Given y’ + y = ex and ![]()
![]()
![]()
This is a first order linear differential equation of the form
![]()
Here, P = 1 and Q = ex
The integrating factor (I.F) of this differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
We have ![]()
∴ I.F = ex
Hence, the solution of the differential equation is,
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
Recall ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
However, when x = 0, we have ![]()
![]()
![]()
∴ c = 0
By substituting the value of c in the equation for y, we get
![]()
![]()
Thus, the solution of the given initial value problem is ![]()
