    Your question is headed for closure, since (1) you didn't write out the equation in $LaTeX$, which is inconvenient for your readers; (2) you didn't provide any context--information about why this is a problem of interest, or what you have tried. Not to worry, it takes a while to get the hang of the culture around here. Anyway, I've tried to give you a pointer in my answer below. Welcome to MSE, and Cheers!

The equation may be transformed to a linear one as follows:



From



$dfrac{dy}{dx} + ytan x = y^3 cos x, tag 1$



write, after a multiplication by $y^{-3}$,



$y^{-3}dfrac{dy}{dx} + y^{-2}tan x = cos x, tag 2$



set



$z = y^{-2}; tag 3$



then



$dfrac{dz}{dx} = -2y^{-3} dfrac{dy}{dx}; tag 4$



(2) may thus be written



$-dfrac{1}{2} dfrac{dz}{dx} + z tan x = cos x, tag 5$



that is,



$dfrac{dz}{dx} -2(tan x)z = -2cos x, tag 6$



a linear equation with a known solution, which I leave to my readers to discover; it's all over the literature, and all over this website.
