General solution of the differential equation (1+x2)dy+2xy dx=cot⁡x dx(1+x^2)dy + 2xy\,dx = \cot x\,dx is:

(where CC is an arbitrary constant)

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

The left side is an exact derivative: (1+x2)dy+2xy dx=d[y(1+x2)](1+x^2)dy + 2xy\,dx = d\left[y(1+x^2)\right].

So ddx[y(1+x2)]=cot⁡x\dfrac{d}{dx}\left[y(1+x^2)\right] = \cot x.

Integrating gives y(1+x2)=log⁡e∣sin⁡x∣+cy(1+x^2) = \log_e|\sin x| + c.
