Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(e^{\tan -1 x}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given equation is \[ \left(1+x^{2}\right) \frac{d y}{d x}+y=e^{\tan ^{-1} x} \] or it can be rewritten as \[ \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{1}{\left(1+x^{2}\right)} y=\frac{e^{\tan ^{-1} x}}{1+x^{2}} \] It is a linear differential equation of the form of \[ \frac{d y}{d x}+P y=Q \]…
