A differential equation of the type y′+ay=b can be solved by using integrating factors. This works because constants can also be functions. Since they are constants, you can use the following formula to speed up the process:

y=ba+C⋅e−ax

Example 1

Solve the differential equation y′−3y=6

Insert the coefficients into the formula and you get

y=6−3+C⋅e3x=−2+Ce3x
