Solution & Explanation
### Related Formula
For a linear differential equation fracdydx + Py = Q$\frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q$, the Integrating Factor (IF) is defined as:
textIF = e^int P \, dx$$\text{IF} = e^{\int P \, dx}$$
### Core Logic
Divide the full differential equation by (x^2+1)$(x^2+1)$:
fracdydx - left(frac2xx^2+1right)y = frac(x^2+1)^2 cos xx^2+1 = (x^2+1)cos x$$\frac{dy}{dx} - \left(\frac{2x}{x^2+1}\right)y = \frac{(x^2+1)^2 \cos x}{x^2+1} = (x^2+1)\cos x$$
This is a standard Linear Differential Equation with:
P = -frac2xx^2+1, quad Q = (x^2+1)cos x$$P = -\frac{2x}{x^2+1}, \quad Q = (x^2+1)\cos x$$
textIF = e^int -frac2xx^2+1\,dx = e^-ln(x^2+1) = frac1x^2+1$$\text{IF} = e^{\int -\frac{2x}{x^2+1}\,dx} = e^{-\ln(x^2+1)} = \frac{1}{x^2+1}$$
### Step 1: Solve for General Solution
The solution format is y cdot textIF = int Q cdot textIF \, dx$y \cdot \text{IF} = \int Q \cdot \text{IF} \, dx$:
y cdot frac1x^2+1 = int (x^2+1)cos x cdot frac1x^2+1 \, dx$$y \cdot \frac{1}{x^2+1} = \int (x^2+1)\cos x \cdot \frac{1}{x^2+1} \, dx$$
fracyx^2+1 = sin x + c$$\frac{y}{x^2+1} = \sin x + c$$
Using the boundary condition y(0) = 1$y(0) = 1$:
frac10+1 = sin(0) + c implies c = 1$$\frac{1}{0+1} = \sin(0) + c \implies c = 1$$
y = (x^2+1)(sin x + 1)$$y = (x^2+1)(sin x + 1)$$
### Step 2: Definite Integration Evaluation
We need to evaluate int_-3^3 y \, dx$\int_{-3}^{3} y \, dx$:
int_-3^3 (x^2+1)(sin x + 1) \, dx = int_-3^3 (x^2sin x + x^2 + sin x + 1) \, dx$$\int_{-3}^{3} (x^2+1)(sin x + 1) \, dx = \int_{-3}^{3} (x^2\sin x + x^2 + \sin x + 1) \, dx$$
By symmetry of odd/even functions over symmetric intervals [-a, a]$[-a, a]$:
int_-3^3 x^2sin x \, dx = 0$\int_{-3}^{3} x^2\sin x \, dx = 0$ (since it is an odd function)
int_-3^3 sin x \, dx = 0$\int_{-3}^{3} \sin x \, dx = 0$ (since it is an odd function)
Thus, we are left with the even components:
int_-3^3 (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 int_0^3 (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 left[ fracx^33 + x right]_0^3 = 2(9 + 3) = 24$$\int_{-3}^{3} (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 \int_{0}^{3} (x^2 + 1) \, dx = 2 \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} + x \right]_{0}^{3} = 2(9 + 3) = 24$$
### Pattern Recognition
Splitting a symmetric interval integral into odd and even parts immediately simplifies calculations by dropping all odd functions down to zero.

Linear Differential Equations
Let y = y(x)$y = y(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation fracdydx + 3(tan^2 x)y + 3y = sec^2 x, y(0) = frac13 + e^3$\frac{dy}{dx} + 3(\tan^2 x)y + 3y = \sec^2 x, y(0) = \frac{1}{3} + e^3$. Then yleft(fracpi4
ight)$y\left(\frac{pi}{4}
ight)$ is equal to
- A. frac23$\frac{2}{3}$
- B. frac43$\frac{4}{3}$
- C. frac43 + e^3$\frac{4}{3} + e^3$
- D. frac23 + e^3$\frac{2}{3} + e^3$
Solution
### Related Formula
For a first-order linear differential equation fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x)$\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$:
- Integrating Factor (I.F.) = e^int P(x) \, dx$e^{\int P(x) \, dx}$
- Solution is y cdot textI.F. = int Q(x) cdot textI.F. \, dx + C$y \cdot \text{I.F.} = \int Q(x) \cdot \text{I.F.} \, dx + C$
### Core Logic
Let's simplify the coefficient of y$y$:
3tan^2 x + 3 = 3(tan^2 x + 1) = 3sec^2 x$$3\tan^2 x + 3 = 3(\tan^2 x + 1) = 3\sec^2 x$$
Thus, the equation is:
fracdydx + 3(sec^2 x)y = sec^2 x$$\frac{dy}{dx} + 3(\sec^2 x)y = \sec^2 x$$
### Step 1: Finding Integrating Factor and General Solution
I.F. = e^int 3sec^2 x \, dx = e^3tan x$e^{\int 3\sec^2 x \, dx} = e^{3\tan x}$
The general solution is:
y cdot e^3tan x = int sec^2 x cdot e^3tan x \, dx + C$$y \cdot e^{3\tan x} = \int \sec^2 x \cdot e^{3\tan x} \, dx + C$$
Substitute u = 3tan x implies du = 3sec^2 x \, dx$u = 3\tan x \implies du = 3\sec^2 x \, dx$:
y cdot e^3tan x = frac13 int e^u \, du + C = frac13 e^3tan x + C$$y \cdot e^{3\tan x} = \frac{1}{3} \int e^u \, du + C = \frac{1}{3} e^{3\tan x} + C$$
### Step 2: Solving for boundary conditions
Given y(0) = frac13 + e^3$y(0) = \frac{1}{3} + e^3$:
left(frac13 + e^3right) cdot e^0 = frac13 e^0 + C implies C = e^3$$\left(\frac{1}{3} + e^3\right) \cdot e^0 = \frac{1}{3} e^0 + C \implies C = e^3$$
Thus, the explicit function is:
y = frac13 + e^3 - 3tan x$$y = \frac{1}{3} + e^{3 - 3\tan x}$$
Evaluating at x = fracpi4$x = \frac{\pi}{4}$:
yleft(fracpi4right) = frac13 + e^3 - 3tan(pi/4) = frac13 + e^3-3 = frac13 + 1 = frac43$$y\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{1}{3} + e^{3 - 3\tan(\pi/4)} = \frac{1}{3} + e^{3-3} = \frac{1}{3} + 1 = \frac{4}{3}$$
### Pattern Recognition
Recognizing that 3tan^2 x + 3 = 3sec^2 x$3\tan^2 x + 3 = 3\sec^2 x$ converts the system immediately into a classic linear differential equation where the coefficient of y$y$ is exactly the derivative of the exponent of I.F. This makes integration virtually instantaneous.

- C. frac22 - mathrme^2$\frac{2}{2 - \mathrm{e}^{2}}$
- D. frac44 + mathrme^2$\frac{4}{4 + \mathrm{e}^{2}}$
Solution
### Related Formula
Standard first-order linear differential equation form:
fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x)$$\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x)$$
Integrating Factor:
I.F. = e^int P(x)dx$$I.F. = e^{\int P(x)dx}$$
Solution layout:
y cdot (I.F.) = int Q(x) cdot (I.F.) dx + C$$y \cdot (I.F.) = \int Q(x) \cdot (I.F.) dx + C$$
### Core Logic
Rearrange the given differential equation into standard linear form:
x(x^2 + e^x)fracdydx + e^x(x - 2)y = x^3$$x(x^2 + e^x)\frac{dy}{dx} + e^x(x - 2)y = x^3$$
fracdydx + frace^x(x - 2)x(x^2 + e^x)y = fracx^2x^2 + e^x$$\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{e^x(x - 2)}{x(x^2 + e^x)}y = \frac{x^2}{x^2 + e^x}$$
### Step 1: Determine Integrating Factor
We need to integrate P(x) = frace^x(x-2)x(x^2+e^x)$P(x) = \frac{e^x(x-2)}{x(x^2+e^x)}$:
int frace^x(x-2)x(x^2+e^x) dx = int fracxe^x - 2e^xx(x^2+e^x) dx = int fracfracxe^x - 2e^xx^31 + frace^xx^2 dx$$\int \frac{e^x(x-2)}{x(x^2+e^x)} dx = \int \frac{xe^x - 2e^x}{x(x^2+e^x)} dx = \int \frac{\frac{xe^x - 2e^x}{x^3}}{1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}} dx$$
Let t = 1 + frace^xx^2$t = 1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}$. Then dt = fracx^2e^x - e^x(2x)x^4 dx = fracxe^x - 2e^xx^3 dx$dt = \frac{x^2e^x - e^x(2x)}{x^4} dx = \frac{xe^x - 2e^x}{x^3} dx$.
Thus:
int P(x)dx = int fracdtt = ln|t| = lnleft|1 + frace^xx^2right|$$\int P(x)dx = \int \frac{dt}{t} = \ln|t| = \ln\left|1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}\right|$$
Therefore, the integrating factor is:
I.F. = e^lnleft(1 + frace^xx^2right) = 1 + frace^xx^2 = fracx^2 + e^xx^2$$I.F. = e^{\ln\left(1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}\right)} = 1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2} = \frac{x^2 + e^x}{x^2}$$
### Step 2: Construct the General Solution
Using the linear equation solution template:
y cdot left(fracx^2 + e^xx^2right) = int left(fracx^2x^2 + e^xright) cdot left(fracx^2 + e^xx^2right) dx + C$$y \cdot \left(\frac{x^2 + e^x}{x^2}\right) = \int \left(\frac{x^2}{x^2 + e^x}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{x^2 + e^x}{x^2}\right) dx + C$$
y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = int 1 cdot dx + C$$y \cdot \left(1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}\right) = \int 1 \cdot dx + C$$
y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = x + C$$y \cdot \left(1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}\right) = x + C$$
### Step 3: Evaluate Constant and Compute y(2)
The curve passes through (1, 0)$(1, 0)$. Substitute x=1, y=0$x=1, y=0$:
0 cdot (1 + e) = 1 + C implies C = -1$$0 \cdot (1 + e) = 1 + C \implies C = -1$$
So the exact solution equation is:
y cdot left(1 + frace^xx^2right) = x - 1 implies y = fracx - 11 + frace^xx^2$$y \cdot \left(1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}\right) = x - 1 \implies y = \frac{x - 1}{1 + \frac{e^x}{x^2}}$$
To find y(2)$y(2)$, substitute x=2$x=2$:
y(2) = frac2 - 11 + frace^22^2 = frac11 + frace^24 = frac44 + e^2$$y(2) = \frac{2 - 1}{1 + \frac{e^2}{2^2}} = \frac{1}{1 + \frac{e^2}{4}} = \frac{4}{4 + e^2}$$
### Pattern Recognition
Spotting the functional derivative framework inside P(x)$P(x)$ by dividing the numerator and denominator by x^3$x^3$ uncovers the standard form int fracf'(x)f(x)dx$\int \frac{f'(x)}{f(x)}dx$ cleanly, converting an otherwise intimidating integral into a basic natural log operation.

### Core Logic
Evaluate composite function layers to organize equation segments into a standard first-order linear differential form, then introduce proper scaling factors.
### Step 1: Simplify Composite Functional Core
f(f(x)) = (x-1) - 1 = x - 2 implies g(f(f(x))) = e^x-2$$f(f(x)) = (x-1) - 1 = x - 2 \implies g(f(f(x))) = e^{x-2}$$
### Step 2: Restructure Equation and Compute Integrating Factor
fracdydx + frac1sqrtxy = e^-2sqrtx cdot e^x-2 = e^x - 2sqrtx - 2$$\frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}y = e^{-2\sqrt{x}} \cdot e^{x-2} = e^{x - 2\sqrt{x} - 2}$$
I.F. = e^int frac1sqrtx \, dx = e^2sqrtx$$I.F. = e^{\int \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}} \, dx} = e^{2\sqrt{x}}$$
### Step 3: Integrate General Tracking Steps
y times e^2sqrtx = int e^2sqrtx times e^x - 2sqrtx - 2 \, dx + c = int e^x-2 \, dx + c$$y \times e^{2\sqrt{x}} = \int e^{2\sqrt{x}} \times e^{x - 2\sqrt{x} - 2} \, dx + c = \int e^{x-2} \, dx + c$$
y times e^2sqrtx = e^x-2 + c$$y \times e^{2\sqrt{x}} = e^{x-2} + c$$
Using boundary values x=0, y=0 implies 0 = e^-2 + c implies c = -e^-2$x=0, y=0 \implies 0 = e^{-2} + c \implies c = -e^{-2}$.
### Step 4: Evaluate Value Bounds At Point Profile
y times e^2sqrtx = e^x-2 - e^-2$$y \times e^{2\sqrt{x}} = e^{x-2} - e^{-2}$$
At x = 1$x = 1$:
y(1) times e^2 = e^-1 - e^-2 implies y(1) = frace^-1 - e^-2e^2 = frace-1e^4$$y(1) \times e^{2} = e^{-1} - e^{-2} \implies y(1) = \frac{e^{-1} - e^{-2}}{e^2} = \frac{e-1}{e^4}$$

General solution:
y cdot (textI.F.) = int Q cdot (textI.F.) \, dx$$y \cdot (\text{I.F.}) = \int Q \cdot (\text{I.F.}) \, dx$$
### Core Logic

### Step 1: Evaluate Integration with Half-Angle Substitutions
Using tangent half-angle substitution t = tanfracx2$t = \tan\frac{x}{2}$ transformations simplifies the integral loop structure down to:
y cdot sec x = frac2t + frac3t + C$$y \cdot \sec x = \frac{2}{t + \frac{3}{t}} + C$$

C = 0$C = 0$
### Step 2: Calculate Target Point Value
At target query point x = fracpi4$x = \frac{\pi}{4}$, half-angle parameters scale to t = sqrt2 - 1$t = \sqrt{2} - 1$:
y cdot sqrt2 = frac2sqrt2 - 1 + frac3sqrt2 - 1 = frac2(sqrt2 - 1)6 - 2sqrt2$$y \cdot \sqrt{2} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2} - 1 + \frac{3}{\sqrt{2} - 1}} = \frac{2(\sqrt{2} - 1)}{6 - 2\sqrt{2}}$$
y = frac4 - sqrt214$$y = \frac{4 - \sqrt{2}}{14}$$

Leibniz Rule and Linear Differential Equations
Let for some function y = f(x)$y = f(x)$,
int_0^x t f(t) dt = x^2 f(x), x > 0 text and f(2) = 3.$$\int_0^x t f(t) dt = x^2 f(x), x > 0 \text{ and } f(2) = 3.$$
Then f(6)$f(6)$ is equal to:
(1) 1
(2) 2
(3) 6
(4) 3
Solution
### Related Formula
Leibniz Rule for differentiating under the integral sign:
fracddx left[ int_psi(x)^phi(x) f(t) dt right] = f(phi(x))phi^prime(x) - f(psi(x))psi^prime(x)$$\frac{d}{dx} \left[ \int_{\psi(x)}^{\phi(x)} f(t) dt \right] = f(\phi(x))\phi^\prime(x) - f(\psi(x))\psi^\prime(x)$$
### Core Logic
Differentiate both sides of the integral equation with respect to x$x$:
xf(x) = x^2 f^prime(x) + 2xf(x) implies -xf(x) = x^2 f^prime(x)$$xf(x) = x^2 f^\prime(x) + 2xf(x) \implies -xf(x) = x^2 f^\prime(x)$$
### Step 1: Solving the Separable Differential Equation
Separating variables:
int fracf^prime(x)f(x) dx = int -frac1x dx implies ln |f(x)| = -ln x + ln c implies f(x) = fraccx$$\int \frac{f^\prime(x)}{f(x)} dx = \int -\frac{1}{x} dx \implies \ln |f(x)| = -\ln x + \ln c \implies f(x) = \frac{c}{x}$$
### Step 2: Applying Boundary Constraints
Given f(2) = 3$f(2) = 3$:
3 = fracc2 implies c = 6 implies f(x) = frac6x$$3 = \frac{c}{2} \implies c = 6 \implies f(x) = \frac{6}{x}$$
Evaluating for x = 6$x = 6$:
f(6) = frac66 = 1$$f(6) = \frac{6}{6} = 1$$
