Answer

$y=e^{-x^2/2+2}+1$

Work Step by Step

Find the initial condition: $y(2)=2+\int_2^2[t-ty(t)]dt$ $y(2)=2+0$ $y(2)=2$ Construct a differential equation by differentiating the integral equation: $\frac{d}{dx}(y(x))=\frac{d}{dx}(2+\int_2^x[t-ty(t)]dt$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=0+(x-xy(x))$ $\frac{dy}{dx}=x(1-y)$ Solve for $y$ by separating variables: $\frac{1}{y-1}dy=-xdx$ $\int \frac{1}{y-1}dy=\int -xdx$ $\ln (y-1)=-\frac{x^2}{2}+C$ Substitute the initial condition: $\ln(2-1)=-\frac{2^2}{2}+C$ $\ln 1=-2+C$ $0=-2+C$ $C=2$ We have now: $\ln(y-1)=-\frac{x^2}{2}+2$ $y-1=e^{-x^2/2+2}$ $y=e^{-x^2/2+2}+1$ Thus, the solution is $y=e^{-x^2/2+2}+1$.
