Is there a better way of solving this first order linear differential equation?
3y'+2y-2sin(3x)+2e(-3x)+x3+4=0 Variables x - independent y - dependent Attempt at a solution I rewrote the equation in form dy/dx+P(x)y=Q(x) and used an integrating factor of \mu(x)=ke(2/3)x with P(x) = 2/3 and Q(x) = 2sin(3x)-2e(-3x)-x3-4 Since y(x) =...- alevis
