Answer

\[y(x)=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\]

Work Step by Step

$\large y'+\frac{2}{x}y=4x$ ____(1) (1) is Linear differential equation Integrating Factor:- \[I(x)=e^{\int \frac{2}{x}dx}=e^{2\ln x}=x^2\] Multiply (1) by $I(x)$ \[x^2\frac{dy}{dx}+2xy=4x^3\] \[\frac{d}{dx}(yx^2)=4x^3\] Integrating, \[x^2y=\int 4x^3 dx+C\] $C$ is constant of integration $x^2y=x^4+C$ ____(2) Using initial condition $y(1)=2$ \[2=1+C\Rightarrow C=1\] From (2) \[y(x)=x^2+\frac{1}{x^2}\]
