| Topic | First order differential equations (integrating factor) |
6 The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the differential equation
$$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = k y ^ { 3 } \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }$$
where \(k\) is a constant. It is given that \(y = 1\) when \(x = 0\), and that \(y = \sqrt { } \mathrm { e }\) when \(x = 1\). Solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).
