Final answer:

The domain of the particular solution to the differential equation is (-∞, 0) U (0, ∞).

Step-by-step explanation:

The given differential equation is dy/dx = (3y/x). To find the domain of the particular solution, we need to consider the values of x and y that satisfy the equation.

Since the denominator x cannot be zero, the domain of the solution is all real numbers except x=0. Therefore, the domain is (-∞, 0) U (0, ∞).

For this case we have the following difference equation:

dy / dx = 3xy
Applying separable variables we have:

dy / y = 3xdx
Integrating both sides we have:

\int\ ({1/y}) \, dy = \int\ {3x} \, dx

ln (y) = (3/2) x ^ 2 + C
applying exponential to both sides:

exp (ln (y)) = exp ((3/2) x ^ 2 + C) y = C * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
For y (1) = 1 we have:

C = 1 / (exp ((3/2) * 1 ^ 2)) C = 0.2
Thus, the particular solution is:

y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
Whose domain is all real.
Answer:
y = 0.2 * exp ((3/2) x ^ 2)
Domain: all real numbers
