Answer

$y=\dfrac{-1}{x}+\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

We need to find the anti-derivative for $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1}{x^2}+x$ Thus, we have: $y=\dfrac{-1}{x}+\dfrac{x^2}{2}+C$ Apply the initial condition $y(2)=1$ in the above equation to solve for $C$. we get: $\dfrac{-1}{2}+\dfrac{4}{2}+C=1 \implies C=-\dfrac{1}{2}$ Hence, $y=\dfrac{-1}{x}+\dfrac{x^2}{2}-\dfrac{1}{2}$
