Answer

$y^2=8x^2\sin x + C$

Work Step by Step

Given: $$y'-x^{-1}y=4x^2y^{-1}\cos x$$ $$\frac{xy'-y}{x}=\frac{4x^2}{y}\cos x$$ $$\frac{xy'-y}{x^2}=\frac{4x}{y}\cos x$$ Let $y=vx \rightarrow \frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{xy'-y}{x^2}$ Then it becomes: $$v+x\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{2-v}{1+4v}$$ $$\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{4}{v}\cos x$$ $$vdv=4\cos xdx$$ Integrating both sides: $\frac{v^2}{2}=4 \sin x +C$$ where $C$ is a constant of integration. Subtitute when $y=vx $ $$\rightarrow \frac{y^2}{2x^2}=4 \sin x +C$$ The solution to the differential equation is: $$y^2=8x^2\sin x + C$$
