Find the general solution of the differential equation dydx - y = sinx
Solution:
Given equation dydx - y = sinx represents a linear equation. The integrating factor is e-x. So the solution of the differential equation is ye-x = ∫e-xsinx dx + c, where c is a constant. ⇒ ye-x = -e-x/2(sinx + cosx) + c ⇒ y = -sinx + cosx / 2 + cex
