Linear Equations
Form: y' + p(x) y = f(x)
Steps to solve this kind of equation:
1. Put the equation into its standard form (nothing in front of y', usually be dividing the whole equation by whatever's in front of y').
2. Calculate the integrating factor.
3. Multiply the whole equation by the integrating factor.
4. Rewrite the left side as a derivative
5. Integrate both sides.
