Solve (x + 1)y′ − y = e^(3x)(x + 1)³.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: y/(x + 1) = e^(3x)(3x + 2)/9 + C, for x ≠ −1.
  1. Divide by x + 1. P = −1/(x + 1), so choose IF 1/(x + 1).
  2. Then [y/(x + 1)]′ = e^(3x)(x + 1).
  3. By parts, ∫e^(3x)(x + 1)dx = e^(3x)[(x + 1)/3 − 1/9] = e^(3x)(3x + 2)/9.
  4. Thus y = (x + 1)[e^(3x)(3x + 2)/9 + C]. This expression also extends smoothly across −1 and satisfies the original equation there.

📋 CBSE Stepwise Marking Scheme

  • [0.5 marks] Divide by x + 1. P = −1/(x + 1), so choose IF 1/(x + 1).
  • [1 mark] Then [y/(x + 1)]′ = e^(3x)(x + 1).
  • [1 mark] By parts, ∫e^(3x)(x + 1)dx = e^(3x)[(x + 1)/3 − 1/9] = e^(3x)(3x + 2)/9.
  • [0.5 marks] Thus y = (x + 1)[e^(3x)(3x + 2)/9 + C]. This expression also extends smoothly across −1 and satisfies the original equation there.
