CAIE A-Level Further Math A2 2.6.6 Initial Conditions Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 7]

Hence find the solution of the differential equation

(x2+1)dy dx+yx2+1=x2xx2+1\left(x^{2}+1\right) \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} x}+y \sqrt{x^{2}+1}=x^{2}-x \sqrt{x^{2}+1}

for which y=ln2y=\ln 2 when x=0. Give your answer in the form y=f(x).
