TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)

4 The variables \(x\) and \(y\) satisfy the differential equation $$x \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = y \left( 1 - 2 x ^ { 2 } \right)$$ and it is given that \(y = 2\) when \(x = 1\). Solve the differential equation and obtain an expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\) in a form not involving logarithms.
