Answer

$y=x^{-3}(\sin x+c)$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation is: $y'+\dfrac{3}{x} y=x^{-3} \cos x$ ....(1) The integrating factor is: $e^{\int (\dfrac{3}{x}) dx}=x^3$ In order to determine the general solution, multiply equation (1) with the integrating factor and integrate both sides. $\int [x^3y]' =\int \cos x dx$ Thus, we have $y=x^{-3}(\sin x+c)$
