Question: Let's generalize a formula t o solve the first order linear differential equa - tion: y ' + P ( x ) y = Q

Let's generalize a formula to solve the first order linear differential equa-
tion:
y'+P(x)y=Q(x)
By getting the integrating factor: r(x)=eP(x)dx, then multiply each
term by integrating factor:
eP(x)dxy'+eP(x)dxP(x)y=eP(x)dxQ(x)
(eP(x)dxy)'=eP(x)dxQ(x)
(eP(x)dxy)'dx=eP(x)dxQ(x)dx
eP(x)dxy=eP(x)dxQ(x)dx
y=eP(x)dxQ(x)dxeP(x)dx
Then we could use the general solution with formula
y=eP(x)dxQ(x)dxeP(x)dxP(x),Q(x), you don't need to solve it.y'+x5y=ex
Let P(x)=x5,Q(x)=ex, then
y=ex5dxex(d)xex5dxP(x),Q(x), you don't need to solve it.y'+x4y=sin(2x)
Let's generalize a formula t o solve the first
