Give the general solution of the second order ODE dy2/d2x - 4dy/dx + 3 = 0

Solving the ansatz equation x^2 - 4x + 3 = gives 2 equal roots where x = 3 and x = 1The general solution therefore is y = Ae^3x + Be^x where A and B are arbitrary constants

Solve the differential equations dx/dt=2x+y+1 and dy/dt=4x-y+1 given that when t=0 x=20 and y=60. (A2 Further pure)


I don't know what I am doing when I solve differential equations using the integrating factor and why does this give us the solutions it does?


Find a vector that is normal to lines L1 and L2 and passes through their common point of intersection where L1 is the line r = (3,1,1) + u(1,-2,-1) and L2 is the line r = (0,-2,3) + v(-5,1,4) where u and v are scalar values.
