Answer

$y=\dfrac{t^3}{5}-\dfrac{12t^{-2}}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Here, we have $ty'+2y=t^3$ The integrating factor is: $I=e^{\int (2/t) dt}=t^2$ Now, $t^2[ty'+2y]=t^2 \cdot t^3$ This gives: $\int [t^2y]' dt=\int t^4$ $\implies t^2y=\dfrac{t^5}{5}+c$ Next, apply the initial conditions in the above equation, we have $(1)(2)^2=\dfrac{(2)^5}{5}+c$ or, $c=-\dfrac{12}{5}$ Then, $t^2y=\dfrac{1}{5}t^5-\dfrac{12}{5}$ so, the general solution is: $y=\dfrac{t^3}{5}-\dfrac{12t^{-2}}{5}$
