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.

textLinear Form: fracdydx + P(x)y = Q(x) implies I.F. = e^int P(x) \, dx$\text{Linear Form: } \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x) \implies I.F. = e^{\int P(x) \, dx}$
### 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$y(1) \times e^{2} = e^{-1} - e^{-2} \implies y(1) = \frac{e^{-1} - e^{-2}}{e^2} = \frac{e-1}{e^4}$

- C. frac5 - sqrt32sqrt2$\frac{5 - \sqrt{3}}{2\sqrt{2}}$
- D. frac4 - sqrt214$\frac{4 - \sqrt{2}}{14}$

### Related Formula
Integrating factor (I.F.) for a linear differential equation fracdydx + Py = Q$\frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q$:
textI.F. = e^int P \, dx$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int P \, dx}$
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
Given P = tan x$P = \tan x$, compute Integrating Factor:
textI.F. = e^int tan x \, dx = e^ln(sec x) = sec x$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int \tan x \, dx} = e^{\ln(\sec x)} = \sec x$
Set up integrated expression solution layout:
y cdot sec x = int frac2 + sec x(1 + 2sec x)^2 cdot sec x \, dx = int frac2cos x + 1(cos x + 2)^2 cdot dx$y \cdot \sec x = \int \frac{2 + \sec x}{(1 + 2\sec x)^2} \cdot \sec x \, dx = \int \frac{2\cos x + 1}{(\cos x + 2)^2} \cdot dx$
### 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$y \cdot \sec x = \frac{2}{t + \frac{3}{t}} + C$
Plugging entry condition parameters fleft(fracpi3
ight) = fracsqrt310$f\left(\frac{\pi}{3}
ight) = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{10}$ tracking t = frac1sqrt3$t = \frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}$ explicitly isolates boundary condition constant C$C$:
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$y = \frac{4 - \sqrt{2}}{14}$
### Pattern Recognition
When integrating complex rational expressions involving trigonometric values, half-angle substitution methods (t = tanfracx2$t = \tan\frac{x}{2}$) are standard for reducing polynomial degrees.

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$f(6) = \frac{6}{6} = 1$

### Core Logic
Differentiate the given integral relation using Leibniz rule [cite: 1344]:
fracmathrmdmathrmdxleft[int_0^xg(t)dtright] = fracmathrmdmathrmdxleft[x-int_0^xtg(t)dtright]$\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left[\int_{0}^{x}g(t)dt\right] = \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x}\left[x-\int_{0}^{x}tg(t)dt\right]$ [cite: 1344]
g(x) = 1 - xg(x) implies g(x)(1+x) = 1 implies g(x) = frac11+x$g(x) = 1 - xg(x) \implies g(x)(1+x) = 1 \implies g(x) = \frac{1}{1+x}$ [cite: 1345]

### Step 1: Finding the Integrating Factor
This matches a linear form fracmathrmdymathrmdx + P(x)y = Q(x)$\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + P(x)y = Q(x)$ where P(x) = -tan x$P(x) = -\tan x$.

- D. frac2mathrme^2 + mathrme128$\frac{2\mathrm{e}^2 + \mathrm{e}}{128}$
Solution
### Core Logic
Let's rearrange the given differential equation by expressing fracdydx$\frac{dy}{dx}$:
x^5 fracdydx = 7x^4 cot y - e^x csc y$x^5 \frac{dy}{dx} = 7x^4 \cot y - e^x \csc y$
Dividing both sides by x^5$x^5$:
fracdydx = frac7x cot y - frace^xx^5 csc y$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{7}{x} \cot y - \frac{e^x}{x^5} \csc y$
Multiply the entire equation by sin y$\sin y$ to clear denominators:
sin y fracdydx - frac7x cos y = -frace^xx^5$\sin y \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{7}{x} \cos y = -\frac{e^x}{x^5}$
This can be transformed into a linear form by substituting t = -cos y$t = -\cos y$. Then fracdtdx = sin y fracdydx$\frac{dt}{dx} = \sin y \frac{dy}{dx}$.
### Step 1: Solving the Linear ODE
Substituting t$t$ leads to:
fracdtdx + frac7x t = -frace^xx^5$\frac{dt}{dx} + \frac{7}{x} t = -\frac{e^x}{x^5}$
This is a standard linear first-order ODE with P(x) = frac7x$P(x) = \frac{7}{x}$. The Integrating Factor (I.F.) is:
textI.F. = e^int frac7x dx = e^7 ln x = x^7$\text{I.F.} = e^{\int \frac{7}{x} dx} = e^{7 \ln x} = x^7$
The general solution is:
t cdot x^7 = int left(-frace^xx^5right) cdot x^7 dx = -int x^2 e^x dx$t \cdot x^7 = \int \left(-\frac{e^x}{x^5}\right) \cdot x^7 dx = -\int x^2 e^x dx$
### Step 2: Evaluating the Integration and Constant
Using integration by parts for int x^2 e^x dx$\int x^2 e^x dx$:
int x^2 e^x dx = x^2 e^x - 2xe^x + 2e^x$\int x^2 e^x dx = x^2 e^x - 2xe^x + 2e^x$
Substituting this back:
-cos y cdot x^7 = -e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) + C$-\cos y \cdot x^7 = -e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) + C$
cos y cdot x^7 = e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) - C$\cos y \cdot x^7 = e^x(x^2 - 2x + 2) - C$
Since the curve passes through left(1, fracpi2right)$\left(1, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)$:
cosleft(fracpi2right) cdot (1)^7 = e^1(1^2 - 2(1) + 2) - C implies 0 = e(1) - C implies C = e$\cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \cdot (1)^7 = e^1(1^2 - 2(1) + 2) - C \implies 0 = e(1) - C \implies C = e$
### Step 3: Calculating cos y at x = 2
Now substitute x = 2$x = 2$ and C = e$C = e$ into our equation block:
cos y cdot (2^7) = e^2(2^2 - 2(2) + 2) - e$\cos y \cdot (2^7) = e^2(2^2 - 2(2) + 2) - e$
cos y cdot 128 = e^2(4 - 4 + 2) - e = 2e^2 - e$\cos y \cdot 128 = e^2(4 - 4 + 2) - e = 2e^2 - e$
cos y = frac2e^2 - e128$\cos y = \frac{2e^2 - e}{128}$
### Pattern Recognition
When trigonometric terms are mixed inside an ODE containing derivative blocks like fracdxdy$\frac{dx}{dy}$ or fracdydx$\frac{dy}{dx}$, check if clearing denominators using sin y$\sin y$ or cos y$\cos y$ reveals a standard substitution path for a Linear ODE.
