differential equation

Use an integrating factor.

Rewrite to get into proper form:

\(\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}+y=-e^{-x}sin(x)\)

Using the coefficient of y, which is just 1, the integrating factor is \(\displaystyle e^{\int dx}=e^{x}\)

Use integrating factor:

\(\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[e^{x}y]=-e^{x}\cdot e^{-x}sin(x)=-sin(x)\)

Integrate:

\(\displaystyle e^{x}y=cos(x)+C\)

Solve for y:

\(\displaystyle \boxed{y=e^{-x}(cos(x)+C)}\)
