Answer

$$y=\frac{1}{x} \ln x-\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{x^{2}}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$x^{2} y^{\prime}+2 x y=\ln x, \quad y(1)=2$$ Rewriting the equation as $$ y^{\prime}+\frac{2}{x} y=\frac{\ln x}{x^2}$$ Since the equation is linear and $p(x)= \frac{2}{x} $ and $q(x)= \frac{\ln x}{x^2}$, then \begin{align*} \mu &=e^{\int p(x)}dx\\ &= e^{\int \frac{2}{x} dx}\\ &=e^{2\ln x}\\ &=x^2 \end{align*} Hence the general solution given by \begin{align*} \mu(x)y&=\int \mu(x)q(x)dx\\ x^2 y&= \int x^2 \frac{\ln x}{x^2}dx\\ &=\int \ln xdx\ \ \ , \ \text{Integrate by parts }\\ &= x\ln x-x+C \end{align*} Then $$ y= \frac{\ln x}{x}-\frac{1}{x}+\frac{C}{x^2}$$ Since $y(1)=2 $, then $C= 3$, hence $$y=\frac{1}{x} \ln x-\frac{1}{x}+\frac{3}{x^{2}}$$
