Given the following differential equation i have to find the general solution using the integrating factor technique.
d y d x + y x = e x
I know that P(x)= 1 x and Q(x)= e x also i found μ ( x ) = e l n x
Using the formula
y = 1 μ ( x ) μ ( x ) Q ( x ) d x
i found this general solution:
e x x x e x x + C x
Help, maybe this is incorrect

To know if a solution of an E.D. is correct you just have to plug this into the original equation and derivate terms. In this case
d ( e x x x e x x + C x ) d x + ( e x x x e x x + C x ) x = ? e x
Operating the LHS:
d ( e x ) d x d ( e x x ) d x + d ( C x ) d x + e x x e x x 2 + C x 2
e x e x x + e x x 2 C x 2 + e x x e x x 2 + C x 2
e x
Therefore we can check that indeed
e x = e x
So your solution is correct
