@Mathematics

Answer 1

if you know one soloution, you can try reduction of order

Answer 2

\[\large y(x)=c*e^{sinx}+1\]
this is linear and such.

Answer 3

i dont think ive read enough on diffy qs to recall a reduction order.

Answer 4

that looks about right, i guess i shoulda came up with an answer to compare to lol

Answer 5

i gotta see if i can recall the y''+6y'+y=0 stuff

Answer 6

that should been +9y i spose
