Consider y'+ x−1y = x3.

(a) Verify that α(x) = x is an integrating factor.

(b) Show that when multiplied by α(x), the differential equation can be written (xy)' = x4.

(c) Conclude that xy is an antiderivative of x4 and use this information to find the general solution.

(d) Find the particular solution satisfying y(1) = 0.
