Final Answer:

The integrating factor is μ(t) =
e^(^3^t^), and the general solution to the differential equation y' + 3y =
te^(^-^2^t^) is given by y(t) = c *
e^(^-^3^t^) + (1/3) * t *
e^(^-^2^t^), where c is the constant of integration.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given first-order linear differential equation y' + 3y =
te^(^-^2^t^), we can use an integrating factor μ(t). The integrating factor is calculated using the coefficient of y, which is 3 in this case. The integrating factor (μ(t)) is given by the formula μ(t) =
e^(^∫^3^d^t^) = e^(^3^t^).

Now, multiply both sides of the differential equation by the integrating factor μ(t):


e^(^3^t^) * (y' + 3y) = e^(^3^t^) * (te^(^-^2^t^))

This simplifies to d/dt (e^(3t) * y) = te^(t). Integrate both sides with respect to t:


∫d/dt (e^(^3^t^) * y) dt = ∫te^(^t^) dt

The left side integrates to
e^(^3^t^) * y, and the right side integrates to (1/3) * t *
e^(^-^2^t^) + c, where c is the constant of integration. Therefore,
e^(^3^t^) * y = (1/3) * t *
e^(^-^2^t^) + c.

Solving for y, we get y(t) = c *
e^(^-^3^t^) + (1/3) * t *
e^(^-^2^t^), which is the general solution to the given differential equation. The constant c is determined by the initial conditions if provided. This solution describes the family of curves that satisfy the given differential equation.
