Homework Statement
The ODE is
(1+x)*dy/dx - xy = x+x^2
Homework Equations
The method of solution is to be through the use of the integration factor.
The Attempt at a Solution
First, I divided each side by (1+x) to produce
dy/dx - xy/(1+x) = x
then factor out the x on the LHS to produce
dy/dx - x * (y/(1+x)) = x
then divide both sides by x to produce
dy/dx - y/(1+x) = 0
now move the -y/(1+x) to the RHS to produce
dy/dx = y/(1+x)
That is all the farther I have progressed. Am I correct so far?
Thanks
Matt
