Answer

$y=c \csc -\frac{1}{2}\csc x \cos 2x$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $y'+ycot x=2 \cos x$ The general solution of the equation can be given by: $y=e^{-\int -\cot xdx}(c+\int e^{\int \cot xdx} 2 \cot xdx)$ where $c$ is the constant of integration. Since: $e^{-\int \cot xdx}=e^{-\ln \sin x}=\csc x$ and $e^{\int \cot xdx}=e^{\ln \sin x}=\sin x$ We have: $y=e^{-\int -\cot xdx}(c+\int e^{\int \cot xdx} 2 \cot xdx)=\csc x(c+\int 2\sin x \cos x dx)=c \csc -\frac{1}{2}\csc x \cos 2x$
