(4 pts)16) Briefly explain what is wrong with the following attempt to solve the linear differential equation y'+3y=sinx
For this linear DE,P(x)=3 and Q(x)=sinx
The integrating factor is I(x)=eP(x)dx=e3dx=e3x
Multiplying both sides by e3x then gives e3xy'+3e3xy=sinx
The left side is a product rule with F=e3x and S=y
so integrating both sides gives e3xy=-cosx+C
Finally, dividing by e3x gives y=-cosxe3x+Ce-3x
