Solve the following differential equation:

Given,
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
This is a linear differential equation. Comparing with the standard form
![]()
A solution of such equation is given by:
y(I.F) =
where I.F = integrating factor
We get P(x) =
& Q(x) = 3x
Integrating factor I.F is given : ![]()
∴ I.F = ![]()
We know that: ![]()
∴ I.F = ![]()
⇒ I.F = ![]()
We know that: ![]()
∴ I.F = 1/x
∴ The solution is given as:
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ y = 3x2 + Cx
