\begin{align*} y^{\prime }&=a \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} \left (y-b \,x^{n}-c \right )^{2}+b n \,x^{n -1} \\ \end{align*}

In canonical form the ODE is

\begin{align*} y' &= F(x,y)\\ &= \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} x^{2 n} a \,b^{2}+2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} x^{n} a b c -2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} x^{n} a b y+\sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} a \,c^{2}-2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} a c y+\sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k} a y^{2}+b n \,x^{n -1} \end{align*}

This is a Riccati ODE. Comparing the ODE to solve

\[ y' = \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{2 n} a \,b^{2}-2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{n} a b y+2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{n} a b c +\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a y^{2}-2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a c y+\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a \,c^{2}+\frac {b \,x^{n} n}{x} \]

With Riccati ODE standard form

\[ y' = f_0(x)+ f_1(x)y+f_2(x)y^{2} \]

Shows that \(f_0(x)=\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{2 n} a \,b^{2}+2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{n} a b c +\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a \,c^{2}+\frac {b \,x^{n} n}{x}\), \(f_1(x)=-2 x^{n} \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a b -2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a c\) and \(f_2(x)=\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a\). Let

\begin{align*} y &= \frac {-u'}{f_2 u} \\ &= \frac {-u'}{u \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a} \tag {1} \end{align*}

Using the above substitution in the given ODE results (after some simplification) in a second order ODE to solve for \(u(x)\) which is

\begin{align*} f_2 u''(x) -\left ( f_2' + f_1 f_2 \right ) u'(x) + f_2^2 f_0 u(x) &= 0 \tag {2} \end{align*}

But

\begin{align*} f_2' &=\frac {\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} k \left (\lambda \cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )-\lambda \sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right ) a}{\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )}\\ f_1 f_2 &=\left (-2 x^{n} \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a b -2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a c \right ) \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a\\ f_2^2 f_0 &=\sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2 k} a^{2} \left (\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{2 n} a \,b^{2}+2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{n} a b c +\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a \,c^{2}+\frac {b \,x^{n} n}{x}\right ) \end{align*}

Substituting the above terms back in equation (2) gives

\[ \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a u^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right )-\left (\frac {\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} k \left (\lambda \cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )-\lambda \sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right ) a}{\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )}+\left (-2 x^{n} \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a b -2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a c \right ) \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a \right ) u^{\prime }\left (x \right )+\sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2 k} a^{2} \left (\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{2 n} a \,b^{2}+2 \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} x^{n} a b c +\left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a \,c^{2}+\frac {b \,x^{n} n}{x}\right ) u \left (x \right ) = 0 \]

Unable to solve. Will ask Maple to solve this ode now.

The solution for \(u \left (x \right )\) is

\begin{equation} \tag{3} u \left (x \right ) = c_1 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreP}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}+c_2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreQ}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}} \end{equation}

Taking derivative gives

\begin{equation} \tag{4} u^{\prime }\left (x \right ) = c_1 \lambda \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreP}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}+\frac {c_1 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2} \left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}\right ) \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreP}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) \lambda \,{\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}}{\cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2}-1}+c_1 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreP}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) \left (-a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}+\frac {\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}+c_2 \lambda \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreQ}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}+\frac {c_2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2} \left (\frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}\right ) \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreQ}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) \lambda \,{\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}}}{\cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{2}-1}+c_2 \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right ) \operatorname {LegendreQ}\left (\frac {k}{2}-\frac {1}{2}, \frac {1}{2}+\frac {k}{2}, \cos \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right ) \left (-a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}+\frac {\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )}{2}\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-\frac {\int \left (2 a \left (b \,x^{n}+c \right ) \sin \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )^{k}-\left (k -1\right ) \lambda \cot \left (\lambda x +\mu \right )\right )d x}{2}} \end{equation}

Substituting equations (3,4) into (1) results in

\begin{align*} y &= \frac {-u'}{f_2 u} \\ y &= \frac {-u'}{u \left (\sin \left (\lambda x \right ) \cos \left (\mu \right )+\cos \left (\lambda x \right ) \sin \left (\mu \right )\right )^{k} a} \\ y &= \text {Expression too large to display} \\ \end{align*}

Doing change of constants, the above solution becomes

\[ \text {Expression too large to display} \]
