Answer

$y=2xe^{x}-e^{x}+ce^{-x}$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation is: $y'+y=4xe^x$ ....(1) The integrating factor is: $e^{\int (1) dx}=e^x$ In order to determine the general solution, multiply equation (1) with the integrating factor and integrate both sides. $\int [e^xy]' =\int 4xe^{2x} dx$ or, $ye^x=2xe^{2x}-e^{2x}+c$...(2) Thus, equation (2) becomes: $y=2xe^{x}-e^{x}+ce^{-x}$
