This differential equation is a first-order linear ordinary differential equation. To solve it, we can use the method of integrating factors.
First, rearrange the equation to get it into standard form: y' - y ctgx = 2 cosx
Next, calculate the integrating factor, which is given by the exponential of the integral of the coefficient of y: μ(x) = e^(∫-ctgx dx) = e^(-ln|sinx|) = 1/sinx
Now, multiply both sides of the equation by the integrating factor and rewrite it in its exact form: 1/sinx * y' - y/sinx ctgx = 2cosx/sinx d/dx(y/sinx) = 2cosx/sinx
Integrate both sides with respect to x: y/sinx = 2ln|sinx| + C
Multiply through by sinx to solve for y: y = 2sinx ln|sinx| + Csinx
Therefore, the general solution to the differential equation y' = y ctgx + 2 cosx is y = 2sinx ln|sinx| + Csinx, where C is an arbitrary constant.
