Answer

$y=\frac{t^2}{4}-\frac{t}{3}+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{12}$

Work Step by Step

$ty'+2y=t^2-t+1$ To get in form $\frac{dy}{dt}+ay=g(t)$ divide by t $y'+\frac{2y}{t}=t-1+\frac{1}{t}$ $\frac{d\mu}{dt}=\frac{2}{t}\mu(t)$ $\int{\frac{d}{dt}(ln(\mu(t)))}dt = \int{\frac{2}{t}}dt$ $ln(\mu(t))+c_1 = 2ln(t)+c_2$ Combine constants $\mu(t) = t^2e^{c}$ Multiply by $\mu$ $t^2e^c(y'+\frac{2y}{t}=t-1+\frac{1}{t})$ The term $e^c$ cancels out $t^2y'+2ty=t^3-t^2+t$ $\int{\frac{d}{dt}(yt^2)}dt=\int{(t^3-t^2+t)}dt$ $y=\frac{t^2}{4}-\frac{t}{3}+\frac{1}{2}+c$ Plug in $t = 1, y = \frac{1}{2}$ $c=\frac{1}{12}$
