Differential equations — practice question

The variables $x$ and $y$ are linked by the differential equation $\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1 + 4y^2}{e^x}$. It is known that $y = 0$ when $x = 1$.
(a)[7]

Find the solution of the differential equation, giving $y$ in terms of $x$.

(b)[1]

State the behaviour of $y$ as $x$ approaches infinity.
