The differential equation is as follows: (x+1)y(2x+3)y+(x+2)y=0 where y(x) is a funtion on R. First, I had to show that y1(x)=ex is a solution for the DV. The second question was to find the general solution of the DV. I instantly started on the series of solution solving method, but I think I have to use the 'hint' y1(x)=ex is a solution to the DV, but how to do this?

Let
y(x)=y1(x)z(x)=exz(x)
where z(x) is your new unknown function. Then y(x)=exz(x)+exz(x) and y(x)=.., and when you substitute this into your ODE you get something with a z'' term and a z' term, but no z term, so if you let w(x)=z(x) you get a first-order linear ODE for w, and such equations can always be solved in principle, using an integrating factor.
