So the general solution to our differential equation is y(x) = −5e−x + ce3x. Using this formula for y(x) with the initial condition gives us 7 = y(0) = −5e−0 +ce3·0 = −5 +c Thus, c = 7+5 = 12 ,
First-Order Linear Equations
www.cliffsnotes.com › first-order-linear-equationsThe equation is in the standard form for a first‐order linear equation, with P = t – t −1 and Q = t 2. Since . the integrating factor is. Multiplying both sides of the differential equation by this integrating factor transforms it into . As usual, the left‐hand side automatically collapses, and an integration yields the general solution:
