Answer

\[y(x)=\frac{C-\ln |\cos x|}{\sin x}\]

Work Step by Step

$y'+y\cot x=\sec x$ _____(1) (1) is Linear Differential Equation Integrating factor- \[I(x)=\large e^{\int \cot x dx}=\large e^{\ln|\sin x|}=\sin x\] Multiply (1) by $I(x)$ \[\sin x\frac{dy}{dx}+y\cos x=\tan x\] \[\frac{d}{dx}(y\sin x)=\tan x\] Integrating, \[y\sin x=\int \tan xdx+C\] $C$ is constant of integration \[y\sin x=C-\ln|\cos x|\] \[y(x)=\frac{C-\ln|\cos x|}{\sin x }\] Hence general solution of (1) is $y(x)=\Large\frac{C-\ln |\cos x|}{\sin x}$
