Question: A first order linear equation in the form y ^ ( ' ) + p ( x ) y = f ( x ) can

A first order linear equation in the form y^(')+p(x)y=f(x) can be solved by finding an integrating factor \mu (x)=exp(\int p(x)dx)
(1) Given the equation y^(')+6y=72x find \mu (x)=
(2) Then find an explicit general solution with arbitrary constant C.
y=
(3) Then solve the initial value problem with y(0)=2
y=
