Answer

$y=-\dfrac{e^{x^2}}{(x+1)}+6e^{x^2}$

Work Step by Step

The standard form of the given equation is: $y'-2xy=\dfrac{e^{x^2}}{(x+1)^2}$ ....(1) The integrating factor is: $e^{\int -(-2x)dx}=e^{-x^2}$ In order to determine the general solution, multiply equation (1) with the integrating factor and integrate both sides. $y=-\dfrac{e^{x^2}}{(x+1)}+ce^{x^2}$ ...(2) Applying the initial conditions in the above equation, we get $ c=6$ Thus, equation (2) becomes: $y=-\dfrac{e^{x^2}}{(x+1)}+6e^{x^2}$
