Homework Statement


Integrate dy/dx=2y+4x+10


The Attempt at a Solution



dy/dx-2y=4x+10
Integrating factor = e^(-2)dx=e^-2x
multiply both sides by IF. (e^-2x)dy/dx-2y(e^-2x)=(e^-2x)(4x+10)
dy/dx(e^-2x y)=(e^-2x)(4x+10)
i don't know what to do next.

The left side is actually d/dx(ye-2x), which is different from dy/dx(ye-2x).

The equation is d/dx(ye-2x) = (4x + 10)e-2x.
Integrate both sides with respect to x, which gives you
ye^{-2x} = \int (4x + 10)e^{-2x}dx

Can you take it from here?

i know that the left side is ye^-2x but i don't know how to integrate (4x + 10)e^{-2x}
 
Split the right-side integral into two integrals. For one of them, use integration by parts. The other one is pretty easy.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
