Q.Verify that y=xsin⁡xy = x\sin x is a solution of the differential equation xy′=y+xx2−y2xy' = y + x\sqrt{x^2-y^2} (x≠0x \neq 0 and x>yx > y or x<−yx < -y).

Compute y′y', substitute both yy and y′y' into the differential equation, and show LHS == RHS.

Given y=xsin⁡xy=x\sin x, differentiate using the product rule:

y′=dydx=sin⁡x+xcos⁡xy'=\frac{dy}{dx}=\sin x+x\cos x

LHS of the differential equation xy′=y+xx2−y2xy'=y+x\sqrt{x^2-y^2}:

xy′=x(sin⁡x+xcos⁡x)=xsin⁡x+x2cos⁡xxy'=x(\sin x+x\cos x)=x\sin x+x^2\cos x

RHS: first simplify x2−y2x^2-y^2 using y=xsin⁡xy=x\sin x:

x2−y2=x2−x2sin⁡2x=x2(1−sin⁡2x)=x2cos⁡2xx^2-y^2=x^2-x^2\sin^2x=x^2(1-\sin^2x)=x^2\cos^2x

so

x2−y2=x2cos⁡2x=xcos⁡x\sqrt{x^2-y^2}=\sqrt{x^2\cos^2x}=x\cos x

(taking the sign consistent with the stated domain x≠0x\ne0, x>yx>y or x<−yx<-y, which is exactly what makes x2−y2>0x^2-y^2>0 and fixes the branch of the square root).
