Answer

$y=\dfrac{x^2}{e^{2x}}+\dfrac{c}{e^{2x}}=\dfrac{x^2+c}{e^{2x}}$

Work Step by Step

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