Answer

$y=\dfrac{-1+\sin x}{x}$

Work Step by Step

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