Question
Find the general solution of $\frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=e^{-2 x}$

Answer

It is given that $\frac{d y}{d x}+3 y=e^{-2 x}$ 
This is equation in the form of $\frac{d y}{d x}+p y=Q$ (where, p = 3 and Q = e-2x)
Now, I.F. = $e^{\int p d x}=e^{\int 3 d x}=e^{3 x}$ 
Thus, the solution of the given differential equation is given by the relation:
$y(\mathrm{I} . \mathrm{F})=\int(\mathrm{Q} \times \mathrm{I} . \mathrm{F} .) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{ye}^{3 \mathrm{x}}=\int\left(\mathrm{e}^{-2 \mathrm{x}} \times \mathrm{e}^{3 \mathrm{x}}\right) \mathrm{d} \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{ye}^{3 \mathrm{x}}=\int \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}} \mathrm{dx}+\mathrm{C}$ 
$\Rightarrow$ ye3x = ex + C
$\Rightarrow$ y = e-2x + Ce-3x
Therefore, the required general solution of the given differential equation is y = e-2x + Ce-3x
