Differential equations — practice question

Knowing that $y = 1$ when $x = 0$, solve the differential equation
(main)[9]

$\frac{dy}{dx} = 4x(3y^2 + 10y + 3)$, and find $y$ as a function of $x$.

Worked solution & mark scheme

This 9-mark question has a full step-by-step worked solution and mark scheme. One marking point: Separate the variables and factorise so that $\dfrac{dy}{(3y+1)(y+3)} = 4x\,dx$, or an equivalent form
