Step-by-step solution

dydx+2ysec⁡2x=2sec⁡2x+3tan⁡xsec⁡2x\frac{d y}{d x}+2 y \sec ^{2} x=2 \sec ^{2} x+3 \tan x \sec ^{2} x

I.F. =e∫2sec⁡2xdx=e^{\int 2 \sec ^{2} x d x}

I.F. =e2tan⁡x=e^{2 \tan x}

y⋅e2tan⁡x=∫e2tan⁡x(2+3tan⁡x)sec⁡2xdxy \cdot e^{2 \tan x}=\int e^{2 \tan x}(2+3 \tan x) \sec ^{2} x d x

Put tan⁡x=u\tan x=u
