How To Solve a Trigonometric Differential Equation
Salutations, I have been trying to approach an ODE with trigonometric functions that I found interesting:
$$y'+xsin(2y)=xe^{-x^2}cos^2(y)$$
I tried to find a result with wolfram web page (free version) and I got this one:
$$y=arctanleft(frac{1}{2}e^{-x^2}(c+x^2)right)$$
I have tried to approach this exercise by substitution of variables, also separable variables and I have not had luck by power series,
and I do not know if methods like those of Ricatti and Bernoulli are appropriate for this case.
This is just for academic curiosity and I would like to understand better this kind of ODEs. So, I require any guidance or starting steps or explanations about how to approach this kind of exercises.
Thanks for your attention.

This is in general so non-linear that you can not expect a closed solution. However, as it is an exercise a closed solution most probably exists, so you have to consider the parts of this equation. With some experience one may see that dividing by $cos^2y$ gives
$$
frac{y'}{cos^2 y}+2xtan y=xe^{-x^2}
$$
which has the form
$$
f'(y)y'+2xf(y)=xe^{-x^2}
$$
which now is linear in $u=f(y)=tan(y)$. For this linear equation, $e^{x^2}$ is an integrating factor which miraculously also simplifies the right side. After integrating you get
$$
e^{x^2}tan(y(x))=frac12x^2+c.
$$
Thanks very much for your commentary, I was taking unnecessary and hard paths to solve this exercise, thanks again for your explanation, the substitution of tangent function was very helpful, thanks for all.
