2. \[ \frac{d}{d x} Y{\left(x \right)} e^{4 x} = 4 Y{\left(x \right)} e^{4 x} + e^{4 x} \frac{d}{d x} Y{\left(x \right)} \]
   Multiplying by e^(ax) turns the left side into (e^(ax) y)'.✓ Proved
3. \[ \int 4 x e^{4 x}\, dx = \frac{\left(4 x - 1\right) e^{4 x}}{4} \]
   Integrate the right side.✓ Proved
4. Setting x = 0 and y = -3 fixes the constant of integration: C = -11/4.

5. \[ 4 x + \frac{d}{d x} \left(x - \frac{1}{4} - \frac{11 e^{- 4 x}}{4}\right) - 1 - 11 e^{- 4 x} = 4 x \]
   The solution satisfies the equation.✓ Proved
6. \[ -3 \]
