  • $xe^{\tan^{-1}y}=\tan^{-1}y+c$
  • $x^2e^{2\tan^{-1}y}=e^{\tan^{-1}y}+c$
  • $(x-2)=ce^{-\tan^{-1}y}$
  • $2xe^{\tan^{-1}y}=e^{2\tan^{-1}y}+c$

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Convert to linear form in \(x\): \[ \frac{dx}{dy} + \frac{x}{1+y^2} = \frac{e^{-\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2} \] IF: \[ e^{\tan^{-1}y} \] \[ x e^{\tan^{-1}y} = \int \frac{e^{-\tan^{-1}y}e^{\tan^{-1}y}}{1+y^2} dy \] \[ = \int \frac{1}{1+y^2} dy \] Correct evaluation gives: \[ 2xe^{\tan^{-1}y}=e^{2\tan^{-1}y}+c \]
