2.2.13 (a) find initial value (b)plot and (c) interval

(a) find initial value (b)plot and (c) interval
$$\displaystyle
y^{\prime}=2x/(y+x^2y), \quad y(0)=-2$$
separate the variables
$$\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{2x}{y+x^2y}=\frac{2x}{y(1-x^2)}$$
$$y\, dy =\frac{2x}{(1-x^2)}dx$$
integrate
$$\int y\, dy = -\sqrt{4}\int \frac{x}{(1-x^2)} \, dx$$
$$\frac{y^2}{2}= -2\frac{\ln(1 - x^2)}{2}$$
$$y=-\sqrt{4}\sqrt{\ln(1-x^2)}$$ok I am stuck again.,...book answer
$$(a)\, y = −[2 ln(1 + x^2) + 4]^{-1/2} \\ (c) −\infty < x <\infty$$

$\dfrac{dy}{dx} = \dfrac{2x}{y(1+x^2)}$

$ y \, dy = \dfrac{2x}{1+x^2} \, dx$

$\dfrac{y^2}{2} = \ln(1+x^2) + C$

$y(0) = -2 \implies C = 2$ ...

$\dfrac{y^2}{2} = \ln(1+x^2) + 2$

$y = -\sqrt{2\ln(1+x^2) + 4} = -[2\ln(1+x^2)+4]^{1/2}$

... check the sign of the exponent on the book "answer"

you are correct no negative exponent

Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
