I have the following equation and need to use linear equation method to solve this

$$ y' + 5y = 2 $$

(Do not use separable equation method for this please)

    Is it clear to you what the "method" is? The answer could be instructor dependent, but probably is not. You need to (a) find the *general* solution of the homogeneous equation $y'+5y=0$, probably by trying $y=e^{rx}$ and (b) find a *particular* solution of $y'+5y=2$ (easy).2011-07-11

    "Linear equation method" means to use a certain formula? What is that formula?2011-07-11

    Integrating factors? I don't know what you mean by this question at all...2011-07-11

    I think we just have to wait until user10695 comes back and tells us what he means by "linear equation method".2011-07-11
