SUMMARY
The explicit solution to the differential equation dy/dx = 3y - 3y² is derived through separation of variables. The integration process involves the equation dy/(3y - 3y²) = dx, leading to (1/3)log(y) - (1/3)log(1-y) = x + c. The final step requires exponentiating both sides to isolate y. This method confirms the solution includes singular solutions as required.
