  First Order Linear Differential Equation   How to integrate  ,            Answer : You know that first order linear ODE   general form : Modify the equation similar to general form :                                                  (1)     Determine the Integrated Factor µ(x) :                                                                  (2)                                                                              Multiply each side by µ(x)                            (3)                           Remember, (uv)' = u'v + uv'   Then,                                                    (4)                               We can insert the initial condition y(0) = 2 to eq.4 to obtain C                                                                   (5) Substitute eq.5 to eq.4, and we can obtain the value of y : Multiply each side with
