Beyond the Answer
To solve the differential equation \( \frac{d y}{d x} + y x = y^{2} e^{x^{2}/2} \sin x \), we first recognize that it is a first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equation. We can rearrange it into a form that is more manageable. Start by rewriting it as: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = y^2 e^{x^2 / 2} \sin x - yx. \] This equation is not straightforward to solve using standard methods, so one possible approach is to use the substitution method or look for a particular solution by guessing a solution form. However, due to the non-linearity, we can try separating variables or recognizing if anything looks like a Bernoulli equation. To handle this more clearly, let's explore if it suffices to separate variables. We can consider: \[ \frac{dy}{y^2} = e^{x^2/2} \sin x - \frac{x}{y} dx. \] But we need \(y\) to not be zero in the analysis. This means we need to avoid expressions that create singular solutions. Instead, we might try an integrating factor, particularly since we have a linear term with \( y \) multiplied by \( x \). The differential equation can be arranged into: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + xy = y^2 e^{x^2/2} \sin x. \] To find an integrating factor \( \mu(x) \), we look for: \[ \mu(x) = e^{\int x \, dx} = e^{x^2/2}. \] Now multiply through by the integrating factor: \[ e^{x^2/2} \frac{dy}{dx} + e^{x^2/2} xy = y^2 \sin x. \] This helps to bring the equation into a more tractable form. You can then proceed to solve for \( y \) from here, using techniques for integrating an equation in this form. After integrating: \[ \frac{d}{dx}(y e^{x^2/2}) = y^2 e^{x^2/2} \sin x, \] integrate both sides, and solve accordingly, making sure to account for initial conditions if available. While this provides a starting point, the solving of such differential equations can become intricate and may require numerical methods or specific substitutions to accurately yield solutions.
