Solve (1 + y²) + (x − e^(arctan y))y′ = 0.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: x = ½e^(arctan y) + Ce^(−arctan y), with locally invertible branches for y(x).
  1. Treat x as dependent on y: dx/dy + x/(1 + y²) = e^(arctan y)/(1 + y²).
  2. Use IF e^(arctan y), and set t = arctan y.
  3. Then xeᵗ = ∫e^(2t)dt + C = ½e^(2t) + C.
  4. Thus x = ½e^(arctan y) + Ce^(−arctan y). To obtain y(x), restrict to dx/dy ≠ 0, consistent with the original graph equation.
