The discussion focuses on solving the differential equation ty' + 2y = sin(t) with the initial condition y(π/2) = 1. The transformation to standard form yields y' + (2/t)y = (sin(t)/t). An integrating factor, u(t) = t^2, is used to simplify the equation, leading to the expression (yt^2)' = t sin(t). After integrating and isolating y, the solution is expressed as y = -cos(t)/t + sin(t)/t^2 + C/t^2, with C determined to be (π^2 - 4)/4 to satisfy the initial condition. The final solution is confirmed to meet the initial condition at t = π/2.
