Step-by-step explanation

Given,

dydx=yx4y2+2x23y2+x2

Let y=vx

dydx=v+xdvdx

So, dydx=yx4y2+2x23y2+x2

v+xdvdx=v4v2+23v2+1

xdvdx=v4v2+2-3v2-13v2+1

3v2+1dvv3+v=dxx

lnv3+v=lnx+c

lnyx3+yx=lnx+c

Given, y1=1

c=ln2

So the equation becomes lnyx3+yx=lnx+ln2

Now for y2

So putting x=2 in lnyx3+yx=lnx+ln2

 We get, lny38+y2=2ln2y38+y2=4

y2=2

So, y2[2,3)

So on comparing with y2[n-1,n)

n=3
