The solution of the differential equation $(x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=e^{3 x}(x+1)^2$ is

  • A
    $y=(x+1) e^{3 x}+C$
  • B
    $3 y=(x+1)+e^{3 x}+C$
  • Correct answer
    C
    $\frac{3 y}{x+1}=e^{3 x}+C$
  • D
    $y e^{-3 x}=3(x+1)+C$

Solution

Given, $\frac{d y}{d x}-\frac{y}{x+1}=e^{3 x}(x+1)$ Above is linear differential equation of form $\begin{aligned} & \frac{d y}{d x}+P x=Q \\ & \therefore \quad \mathrm{IF}=e^{\int P d x}=e^{\int-\frac{1}{x+1} d x}=e^{-\ln (1+x)}=\frac{1}{1+x} \end{aligned}$ $\Rightarrow$ Solution will be $\begin{aligned} y \cdot \mathrm{IF} & =\int Q \cdot \mathrm{IF} d x \\ y \cdot \frac{1}{1+x} & =\int e^{3 x}(x+1) \times \frac{1}{(1+x)} d x \\ \frac{y}{1+x} & =\frac{e^{3 x}}{3}+C^{\prime} \\ \frac{3 y}{1+x} & =e^{3 x}+C^{\prime} \quad \quad\left[\because C=3 C^{\prime}\right] \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
