Answer

\[y(x)=(1-x^2)[-\ln (1-x^2)^2+C]\]

Work Step by Step

$\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2x}{1-x^2}y=4x$ ___(1) (1) is Linear differential equation Integrating Factor:- \[I(x)=e^{\int\frac{2x}{1-x^2}dx}=e^{-\ln|1-x^2|}=\frac{1}{1-x^2}\] Multiply (1) by $I(x)$ \[\frac{1}{(1-x^2)}\frac{dy}{dx}+\frac{2x}{(1-x^2)^2}y=\frac{4x}{1-x^2}\] \[\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{y}{1-x^2}\right]=\frac{4x}{1-x^2}\] Integrating, \[\frac{y}{1-x^2}=4\int\frac{x}{1-x^2}dx+C\] $C$ is constant of integration \[\frac{y}{1-x^2}=-2\ln|1-x^2|+C\] \[y(x)=(1-x^2)[-\ln (1-x^2)^2+C]\] Hence General solution of (1) is $y(x)=(1-x^2)[-\ln (1-x^2)^2+C]$
