#y = x root(3)(1/3(C_0-log_ex))#

Making the variable change

#y = lambda x rArr y' = x lambda'+lambda# we have

#x^3lambda^2(x lambda'+lambda)=x^3lambda^3-x^3# or

#lambda' lambda^2x+1=0#

This is a separable differential equation. Grouping variables

#lambda^2d lambda=-dx/x# and integrating

#1/3lambda^3=-log_e x + C_0# or

#lambda = root(3)(1/3(C_0-log_ex))# or

#y = x root(3)(1/3(C_0-log_ex))#

but #y(1)=2=1 xx root(3)(C_0/3) rArr C_0 = 24#
