### Reduction of Order: Finding a Second Solution

The indicated function \(y_1(x)\) is a solution of the given differential equation. Use reduction of order or formula (5) in Section 4.2,

\[ y_2 = y_1(x) \int \frac{e^{-\int P(x) \, dx}}{y_1^2(x)} \, dx \tag{5} \]

as instructed, to find a second solution \(y_2(x)\).

Given differential equation and initial solution:
\[ 6y'' + y' - y = 0; \quad y_1 = e^{x/3} \]

### Solution

\[ y_2 = \boxed{\phantom{asd}} \]

By applying the given method, we can find the second solution to complement the initial solution \(y_1(x)\).
