The Attempt at a Solution
Firstly I found the integrating factor:
u(t) = e∫-3/t dt
u(t) = -3/t
I plugged this back into the original equation:
(-3/t)y' + (9/t2y = 0
∫[-(3/t)y]' dt = ∫ 0 dt
(-3/t)y = C
y = -Ct/3
But I don't understand where I go from here. The possible answers all include t3 and I don't understand where that has come from. What step did I miss?
