Answer

$y=\dfrac{x^4}{4}-x^2+1$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=x^3-2x$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $ \ dy=(x^3-2x) \ dx$ Integrate to obtain: $\int \ dy=\int (x^3-2x) \ dx$ This implies that $y=\dfrac{x^4}{4}-x^2+C$ After applying the initial conditions. $y=1$ when $x=0$, we get $C=1$ Therefore, we have: $y=\dfrac{x^4}{4}-x^2+1$
