Step-by-step explanation

Given dydx+22cos4x-cos2xy=xetan-12cot2x

This is a linear differential equation.

Here I=dx2cos4x-cos2x=dx12+cos22x2+cos2x-cos2x

=22sec22xdx2+tan22x

Put tan2x=t

I=tan-1tan2x2

IF=etan-1tan2x2=ecot-12cot2x

So general solution will be

yecot-12cot2x=xetan-12cot2xecot-12cot2xdx

yecot-12cot2x=eπ2x22+c

yπ4=π232c=0

i.e. y=x22etan-12cot2x

Given yπ3=π218e-tan-1α

π218e-tan-1α=π218etan-12cot2π3=π218e-tan-123

Hence α=233α2=2
