Answer

y=C(x2+1)2y = \frac{C}{(x^2 + 1)^2}

Step-by-step solution

5 steps
  1. Separate the variables.

    The given differential equation is:

    4xydx+(x2+1)dy=04xydx + (x^2 + 1)dy = 0

    Rearrange the terms to separate xx and yy:

    (x2+1)dy=−4xydx(x^2 + 1)dy = -4xydx

    Divide both sides by y(x2+1)y(x^2 + 1):

    dyy=−4xx2+1dx\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{-4x}{x^2 + 1}dx
  2. Integrate both sides.

    ∫1ydy=∫−4xx2+1dx\int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int \frac{-4x}{x^2 + 1} dx

    For the integral on the right side, let u=x2+1u = x^2 + 1. Then du=2xdxdu = 2x dx.
    So, −4xdx=−2(2xdx)=−2du-4x dx = -2(2x dx) = -2du.
    The integral becomes:

    ∫1ydy=∫−2udu\int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int \frac{-2}{u} du
  3. Perform the integration.

    ln⁡∣y∣=−2ln⁡∣u∣+C1\ln|y| = -2\ln|u| + C_1

    Substitute u=x2+1u = x^2 + 1 back into the equation:

    ln⁡∣y∣=−2ln⁡∣x2+1∣+C1\ln|y| = -2\ln|x^2 + 1| + C_1
  4. Simplify the expression.

    Using logarithm properties, −2ln⁡∣x2+1∣=ln⁡∣(x2+1)−2∣=ln⁡(1(x2+1)2)-2\ln|x^2 + 1| = \ln|(x^2 + 1)^{-2}| = \ln\left(\frac{1}{(x^2 + 1)^2}\right).

    ln⁡∣y∣=ln⁡(1(x2+1)2)+C1\ln|y| = \ln\left(\frac{1}{(x^2 + 1)^2}\right) + C_1

    Let C1=ln⁡∣C∣C_1 = \ln|C|, where CC is an arbitrary constant.

    ln⁡∣y∣=ln⁡(1(x2+1)2)+ln⁡∣C∣\ln|y| = \ln\left(\frac{1}{(x^2 + 1)^2}\right) + \ln|C|

    Combine the logarithmic terms:

    ln⁡∣y∣=ln⁡(C(x2+1)2)\ln|y| = \ln\left(\frac{C}{(x^2 + 1)^2}\right)
  5. Solve for yy.

    Exponentiate both sides:

    ∣y∣=C(x2+1)2|y| = \frac{C}{(x^2 + 1)^2}

    Since CC is an arbitrary constant, it can absorb the absolute value sign.

    y=C(x2+1)2y = \frac{C}{(x^2 + 1)^2}
