Thanks Mark. My textbook for this class, Advanced Engineering Mathematics (3rd edition) by Zill and Cullen, implies that I should choose an interval for the general solution which P(x) and f(x) are both continuous on...
EDIT: I've just noticed the unsimplified form for my integrating factor...
Homework Statement
The question asks me to find the general solution to (x^2-1)y' + 2y = (x+1)^2, and to determine the largest interval over which this general solution is defined. It's the latter which is tripping me up.
Homework Equations
I've already found the general solution as...
