The given equation:
y=y2+x22xy,y(1)=4
The given ODE can be written as:
y=y2xx2y
implies y+(12x)y=(x2)y1 (1)
A first oredr Bernoulli ODE has the form of
y+p(x)y=q(x)yn
In this case we have also given a first order Bernoulli ODE with
p(x)=12x,q(x)=x2,n=1
Note that the general solution is obtained by substituting υ=y1n and solving 11nυ+p(x)υ=q(x)
Putting υ=y2 in (1) and using υ=2yy we get
υ+(1x)=x
Now by multipling the integrating factor exp(1xdx)=exp(lnx)=x we get
υ=x3+c13x
Now substitute back υ=y2
y2=x3+c13x
Apply initial conditions y(1)=4 gives us c1=49 and so we get y2=x3+493x
Note that y=x3+493x, not possible as it does not gives us y(1)=4
So, the required solution is y=+x3+493x
