Making the substitution u ( x ) = 1 y ( x ) and u ( x ) = - 1 y 2 ( x ) y ( x )
we have
( 1 + x ) u 2 + 2 x u u - 6 2 x u 3 = 0 and now supposing that 2 x u 3 0 we have
( 1 + x ) u 2 + 2 x u u - 6 = 0 Now making z = u 2 we have the new linear differential equation
x z + ( 1 + x ) z - 6 = 0
This differential equation can be easily solved giving
z = 1 x ( 6 - C e - x ) where
and then
u = ± C e - x + 6 x and finally
y = 1 u = ± 1 C e - x + 6 x
NOTE:
y(x)=0 is also solution.
