    Solving 2nd Order PDE for dx/ds in d^2x/ds^2 - (2/y)(dx/ds)(dy/ds) = 0

    Homework Statement Need to solve for dx/ds in the following equation, keeping dy/ds. Homework Equations d^2x/ds^2 - (2/y)(dx/ds)(dy/ds) = 0 The Attempt at a Solution I can just rearrange to get: dx/ds = (y/2)(ds/dy)(d^2x/ds^2) But, this is not clean to use for some later...
