Question
Consider the differential equation
dydx=2ex+ytanx , given that y = 1 when x = 0 .
The domain of the function y is [0,π2[.
By finding the values of successive derivatives when x = 0 , find the Maclaurin series for y as far as the term in x3 .
(i) Differentiate the function ex(sinx+cosx) and hence show that
∫excosxdx=12ex(sinx+cosx)+c.
(ii) Find an integrating factor for the differential equation and hence find the solution in the form y=f(x) .

we note that y(0)=1 and y′(0)=2 A1
y″=2ex+y′tanx+ysec2x M1
y″(0)=3 A1
y‴=2ex+y″tanx+2y′sec2x+2ysec2xtanx M1
y‴(0)=6 A1
the maclaurin series solution is therefore
y=1+2x+3x22+x3+… A1

(i) ddx(ex(sinx+cosx))=ex(sinx+cosx)+ex(cosx−sinx) M1
=2excosx A1
it follows that
∫excosxdx=12ex(sinx+cosx)+c AG
(ii) the differential equation can be written as
dydx−ytanx=2ex M1
IF=e∫−tanxdx=elncosx=cosx M1A1
cosxdydx−ysinx=2excosx M1
integrating,
ycosx=ex(sinx+cosx)+C A1
y = 1 when x = 0 gives C = 0 M1
therefore
y=ex(1+tanx) A1
