Answer

$$ y=e^{-x^2} \int e^{x^2} dx +Ce^{-x^2}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y^{\prime}+2 x y=1$$ Since the equation is linear and $p(x)=2x $ and $q(x)=1$, then \begin{align*} \mu &=e^{\int p(x)}dx\\ &= e^{\int (2x)dx}\\ &=e^{x^2} \end{align*} Hence the general solution given by \begin{align*} \mu(x)y&=\int \mu(x)q(x)dx\\ e^{x^2} y&= \int e^{x^2} dx\ \ \ \end{align*} Then $$ y=e^{-x^2} \int e^{x^2} dx +Ce^{-x^2}$$
