Answer

\[y(x)=\frac{4\tan^{-1}x}{1+x^2}+\frac{C}{1+x^2}\]

Work Step by Step

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