The correct answer is: an even function

Given equation is 1ydydx+x1-x2y=x
Let 2y=ν
1ydydx=dνdx
Thus, we have dνdx+x21-x2ν=x
I.F.=ex21-x2dx
=e-14ln1-x2
=1-x2-14
Thus, the solution is ν1-x2-14=x1-x2-14dx
or ν1-x2-14=-231-x234+c"
or 2y=-231-x2+c"1-x214
y=-1-x23+c'1-x214

9y=-1-x2+c1-x214
fx=1-x2
fx is an even function
