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

There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order. I...
Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
