Answer

$y=e^{\frac{x^2}{2}-1}$

Work Step by Step

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