Answer

$y=2 \sqrt {x^2+1}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $y(x^2+1) \dfrac{dy}{dx}=xy^2$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $\dfrac{ \ dy}{y}=\dfrac{1}{2}(\dfrac{2x}{x^2+1})\ dx$ Integrate to obtain: $\int \dfrac{ \ dy}{y}=\dfrac{1}{2}\int(\dfrac{2x}{x^2+1})\ dx$ This implies that $\ln|y|=\dfrac{1}{2} \ln (x^2+1)+C$ After applying the initial conditions, $y=2$ when $x=0$, we get $C=\ln (2)$ Therefore, we have: $\ln|y|=\dfrac{1}{2} \ln (x^2+1)+2 \implies y=e^{\ln 2} e^{\ln (x^2+1)^{1/2}}$ or, $y=2 \sqrt {x^2+1}$
