SUMMARY
The discussion centers on solving the differential equation \( ty' + 2y = \sin t \) with the initial condition \( y(\pi/2) = 1 \). The solution involves using an integrating factor \( u(t) = e^{\int 2/t \, dt} = t^2 \) to transform the equation into a solvable form. After integration by parts, the general solution is derived as \( y = -\frac{\cos(t)}{t} + \frac{\sin(t)}{t^2} + \frac{C}{t^2} \), where the constant \( C \) is determined to be \( \frac{\pi^2 - 4}{4} \). The final solution satisfies the initial condition, confirming its validity.
