Answer

$y=\frac{c}{x}+\sin (x) + \frac{\cos (x)}{x}$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $y'+x^{-1}y=\cos x$ Intergrating factor: $I=e^{-\int \frac{1}{x}dx}(c+\int e^{\int \frac{1}{x}dx}\cos x dx)$ where $c$ is the constant of integration. So: $y=e^{-\ln x}(c+\int e^{\int \ln x}\cos x dx)$ $y=\frac{1}{x}(c+\int x\cos x dx)$ Simplify: $y=\frac{c}{x}+\sin x + \frac{\cos x}{x}$
