Homework Statement
Solve DE: y' -2 y / (x + a) = -1 where a = constant
Homework Equations
y' + p(x) y = q(x) solving this DE with integrating factor.
The Attempt at a Solution
Use integrating factor (x+a) ^ -2 for above DE,
[ y'(x+a) ^ -2 ]' = - (x+a)^ -2 solving this DE we get
y = C(x+a)^2 + (x+a) this seems to be a solution, C = arbitrary constant
Is this the only solution??
