6.Find the general solution of the first order linear differential equation for dx x .

Solution:

Step1: We solve this first order differential equation by Integrating Factor method.

dy
 P( x) y  Q( x)
The given equation is of the form dx

Where P(x)= 1/x and Q(x)=30x+14

Step2: Calculation

We need to find the integrating factor IF , where IF is given by

IF  e 
P ( x ) dx

1
IF  e  x
dx

IF  eln x
IF  x
The general solution for the integrating factor method is given by

y IF   IF Q(x) dx +c

y x =  x (30x+14) dx +c
y x=  (30 x 2  14 x)  c
30 x 3 14 x 2
y x=  c
3 2
dividing both sides by x
y=10x 2  7 x  c
