Answer

$y=x [\ln x]^2 +cx$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation is: $y'-(\dfrac{1}{x})y=2 \ln x$ ....(1) The integrating factor is: $e^{\int (\dfrac{-1}{x}) dx}=x^{-1}=\dfrac{1}{x}$ In order to determine the general solution, multiply equation (1) with the integrating factor and integrate both sides. $\int [\dfrac{1}{x}y]' =\int (\dfrac{2}{x}) \ln x dx$ or, $x^{-1} y=[\ln x]^2 +c$...(2) Thus, equation (2) becomes: $y=x [\ln x]^2 +cx$
