Step-by-Step Verified Solution

(x+1)dydx−y=e3x(x+1)2(x + 1){{dy} \over {dx}} - y = {e^{3x}}{(x + 1)^2}

dydx−yx+1=e3x(x+1){{dy} \over {dx}} - {y \over {x + 1}} = {e^{3x}}(x + 1)

If e−∫1x+1x=e−log⁡(x+1)=1x+1{e^{ - \int {{1 \over {x + 1}}x} }} = {e^{ - \log (x + 1)}} = {1 \over {x + 1}}

∴\therefore y(1x+1)=∫e3x(x+1)x+1dxy\left( {{1 \over {x + 1}}} \right) = \int {{{{e^{3x}}(x + 1)} \over {x + 1}}dx}

yx+1=∫e3xdx{y \over {x + 1}} = \int {{e^{3x}}dx}

yx+1=e3x3+c{y \over {x + 1}} = {{{e^{3x}}} \over 3} + c

∵\because y(0)=13y(0) = {1 \over 3}

13=13+c{1 \over 3} = {1 \over 3} + c

∴\therefore c=0c = 0

So : y=e3x3(x+1)y = {{{e^{3x}}} \over 3}(x + 1)

y′=e3x(x+1)+e3x3=e3x(x+43)y' = {e^{3x}}(x + 1) + {{{e^{3x}}} \over 3} = {e^{3x}}\left( {x + {4 \over 3}} \right)

y′′=3e3x(x+43)+e3x=e3x(3x+5)y'' = 3{e^{3x}}\left( {x + {4 \over 3}} \right) + {e^{3x}} = {e^{3x}}(3x + 5)

y′=0y' = 0 at x=−43x = {{ - 4} \over 3} & y'' = {e^{ - 4}}(1) > 0 at x=−43x = {{ - 4} \over 3}

⇒x=−43\Rightarrow x = {{ - 4} \over 3} is point of local minima
