is a positive function on such that where , are positive real-valued constants to be determined, and is an arbitrary positive integer.
You are given that and .
What is the value of where is a positive integer?
(Think about this: There are four unknowns and only three specifications (initial conditions). But does that mean the problem is not solvable?)

Let f ( x ) = k x + m + cos ( n x ) . Therefore, we have:
y ′ + y f ( x ) d x d y ∫ 1 − y 2 y d y − 2 1 ln ( ∣ 1 − y 2 ∣ ) − ln ( ∣ 1 − y 2 ∣ ) − ln ( y 2 − 1 ) ⟹ 0 0 ⟹ m − ln ( e + 1 − 1 ) − 1 ⟹ k − ln ( y 2 − 1 ) − ln ( y ( ϕ π ) 2 − 1 ) y ( ϕ π ) 2 − 1 y ( ϕ π ) = y f ( x ) = ( y 1 − y ) f ( x ) = ∫ f ( x ) d x = 2 k x 2 + m x + n sin ( n x ) + C = k x 2 + 2 m x + 2 n sin ( n x ) + C = k x 2 + 2 m x + 2 n sin ( n x ) + C = C = 4 k π 2 − 4 m π = k π = k π 2 − 2 k π 2 = − k π 2 = π 2 1 = π 2 x 2 + π 2 x + 2 n sin ( n x ) = ϕ 2 + 2 ϕ = e − ϕ ( ϕ + 2 ) = e − ϕ ( ϕ + 2 ) + 1 C is the constant of integration. Given that y ( 0 ) = 2 Given that y ( − 2 π ) = 2 Given that y ( − π ) = e + 1 Putting x = ϕ π Note that y > 0
Therefore, the answer is D .
