Answer

$2x^2y+3\cos x=3$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$2x^2y'+4xy=3\sin x$$ $$(4xy-3\sin x)dx +2x^2dy=0(1)$$ Here, $M(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial y}(4xy-3\sin x)=4x$ $N(x,y)=\frac{\partial}{\partial x}(2x^2)=4x$ $M_y=4x \;\;\;\;,\;\;\;\;N_x=4x$ $M_y=N_x$ $\Rightarrow$ (1) is exact differential equation Therefore there exists a potential function $\phi$ such that $\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial x}=4xy-3\sin x$ ___(2) Integrating (2) with respect to $x$ holding $y$ fixed $\phi =2x^2y+3\cos x+f(y)$ ___(3) Where $f(y)$ is arbitrary function of $y$ Hence we get: $\frac{\partial\phi}{\partial y}=2x^2y+f'(y)=2x^2$ (4) We have $f'(y)=0\rightarrow f(y)=C$ $C$ is constant The solution is: $\phi(x,y)= 2x^2y+3\cos x+C$ Since $y(2 \pi)=0$ so: $0= 0+3\cos 2\pi+C$ $C=-3$ The solution is: $2x^2y+3\cos x=3$
