Answer

$y=x(\ln x)^2+xc$

Work Step by Step

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