TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)

7 The variables \(x\) and \(\theta\) satisfy the differential equation $$\frac { x } { \tan \theta } \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} \theta } = x ^ { 2 } + 3$$ It is given that \(x = 1\) when \(\theta = 0\).
Solve the differential equation, obtaining an expression for \(x ^ { 2 }\) in terms of \(\theta\).
