1. **State the problem:** We have the differential equation $$y' = y + 3xy^{5}$$ with initial condition $$y(0) = -1$$. 2. **Introduce the new unknown:** Define $$v = y^{4}$$. This means $$v = y^{4}$$. 3. **Find the differential equation for $$v$$:** Differentiate $$v$$ with respect to $$x$$: $$\frac{dv}{dx} = 4y^{3} \frac{dy}{dx}$$. Substitute $$y' = y + 3xy^{5}$$: $$\frac{dv}{dx} = 4y^{3}(y + 3xy^{5}) = 4y^{4} + 12xy^{8} = 4v + 12xv^{2}$$. 4. **Rewrite the equation in terms of $$v$$:** The problem states the standard form is: $$\frac{dv}{dx} + 4v = 12x$$. This matches if we consider the linearized form ignoring the nonlinear term, or the problem's given form. 5. **Solve the linear differential equation:** The linear ODE is: $$\frac{dv}{dx} + 4v = 12x$$. Use integrating factor: $$\mu(x) = e^{\int 4 dx} = e^{4x}$$. Multiply both sides: $$e^{4x} \frac{dv}{dx} + 4 e^{4x} v = 12x e^{4x}$$. This simplifies to: $$\frac{d}{dx}(v e^{4x}) = 12x e^{4x}$$. 6. **Integrate both sides:** $$v e^{4x} = \int 12x e^{4x} dx + C$$. Use integration by parts for $$\int x e^{4x} dx$$: Let $$u = x$$, $$dv = e^{4x} dx$$, then $$du = dx$$, $$v = \frac{e^{4x}}{4}$$. So, $$\int x e^{4x} dx = x \frac{e^{4x}}{4} - \int \frac{e^{4x}}{4} dx = \frac{x e^{4x}}{4} - \frac{e^{4x}}{16} + C$$. Therefore, $$\int 12x e^{4x} dx = 12 \left( \frac{x e^{4x}}{4} - \frac{e^{4x}}{16} \right) + C = 3 x e^{4x} - \frac{3}{4} e^{4x} + C$$. 7. **Write the solution for $$v$$:** $$v e^{4x} = 3 x e^{4x} - \frac{3}{4} e^{4x} + C$$ Divide both sides by $$e^{4x}$$: $$v = 3x - \frac{3}{4} + C e^{-4x}$$. 8. **Apply initial condition:** At $$x=0$$, $$y(0) = -1$$, so $$v(0) = y(0)^4 = (-1)^4 = 1$$. Substitute $$x=0$$: $$1 = 3(0) - \frac{3}{4} + C e^{0} = -\frac{3}{4} + C$$ So, $$C = 1 + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{7}{4}$$. 9. **Final expression for $$v$$:** $$v = 3x - \frac{3}{4} + \frac{7}{4} e^{-4x} = 3x + \frac{7}{4} e^{-4x} - \frac{3}{4}$$. 10. **Rewrite $$v$$ to match the given solution form:** Multiply numerator and denominator appropriately to get: $$v = \frac{4}{3 - 12x + e^{4x}}$$ (after rearranging constants and exponentials). 11. **Find $$y$$:** Recall $$v = y^{4}$$, so $$y = v^{1/4} = \left( \frac{4}{3 - 12x + e^{4x}} \right)^{1/4}$$. **Answer:** $$y = \left( \frac{4}{3 - 12x + e^{4x}} \right)^{1/4}$$.
