Solution

(1 + ex) y' + y ex = 1

 

 y' + (ex1+ex)y=11+ex

 I.F. = eex1+exdx= eln(1+ex)= 1 + ex.

 (+ ex) = 1·dx+ C

y (1 + ex) = x + C

Curve is passing through point (0, 2)

 C = 4

y (1 + ex) = x + 4 ⇒ y = x+41+ex

y(– 4) = 0  ⇒ (A)

 dydx=(1+ex)·1(x+4)ex(1+ex)2= 0

⇒   1 + ex – (x + 4)ex = 0

⇒   e–x + 1 = x + 4

      e–x = x + 3

      e–x – x – 3 = 0

Let        g (x) = e–x – x – 3

             g (0) = 1 – 3 (– ve)

              g (– 1) = e1 + 1 – 3 (+ve)

         e–x – x – 3 = 0 has a solution in (–1, 0)
