Sec 1.5
How to Solve ?
Method of Solution:
Rewrite into standard form
(coeff of y’ is 1).
Step 1
----- (1)
Find the Integrating Factor =
( ignore constant of integration)
Step 2
Step 3
Multiply (1) by ( check: )
Step 4
Integrate both sides:
( DONOT forget constant of integration) 1 2 3

7. Theorem 1: Theorem 1: The Linear First-Order Equation Remarks:
If the function and are continuous on the open interval I containing the point , then the initial value problem
Theorem 1 gives a solution on the entire interval I
Theorem 1 tells us every solution is included in the formula (6)
Theorem 1 tells us that the general solution is given in(6)
Theorem 1 tells us that a linear first-order DE has no singular sol
has a unique solution y(x) on I, given by the formula in Eq(6) with an appropriate value of C.
