[[_2nd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]
Using reduction of order method given that one solution is
ode:=(x*sin(x)+cos(x))*diff(diff(y(x),x),x)-x*cos(x)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)*cos(x) = 0; dsolve(ode,y(x), singsol=all);
ode=(x*Sin[x]+Cos[x])*D[y[x],{x,2}]-x*Cos[x]*D[y[x],x]+y[x]*Cos[x]==0; ic={}; DSolve[{ode,ic},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions->True]
from sympy import * x = symbols("x") y = Function("y") ode = Eq(-x*cos(x)*Derivative(y(x), x) + (x*sin(x) + cos(x))*Derivative(y(x), (x, 2)) + y(x)*cos(x),0) ics = {} dsolve(ode,func=y(x),ics=ics)
