How to prove this equality with closed form?
An exercise I'm trying to solve gives us
F(y) =0sin(xy)x(1+x2) dx 
and first asks us to prove that F(y) satisfies the ODE F (y)F(y)+π2=0, then find the closed form of the ODE and lastly prove that:
0cos(yx)1+x2 dx =πey2
using the closed form of the ODE.
I've gone through the first two and for the closed form I got F(y)=c1ey+c2ey+π2.
But I'm having trouble with solving the last part of the exercise. With complex analysis, I can solve it, but I don't know what to do with the closed form. I'm sharing my original thoughts, but I get stuck:
First, I noticed that the last integral is the derivative of F(y):
F'(y)=0ddy(sin(xy)x(1+x2))dx=0cos(yx)1+x2dx
Also: F(y)=c1ey+c2ey. Then:
0cos(yx)1+x2 dx =c1ey+c2ey
Then I'd need to show c1ey+c2ey=πey2 and I get stuck here.
Am I doing something wrong? Is this even solvable this way? Should I approach it differently?

Step 1
If you proven the first parts already, then all you need is a limiting condition.
F(0)=0cos(0)(1+x2)dx=π2
and consider the change of variables z=xy
Step 2
F(y)=0sinzz(1+z2y2)dzlimyF(y)=0sinzz:dz=π2
The exponentially increasing term must be 0 since the limit exists at all, and then we have
F(y)=πey2
