It says find any solution y(x) of

xy' = 1 + y^2

I rearranged into seperable form to get

dy/(1+y^2) = dx/x

Integrated both sides to get

arctan y = lnx + C

then y(x) = tan(lnx + C)

Is this ok? I'm a little struck on find 'any' solution for this, not too sure how else I could have done it.

Perhaps I didn't do it correct?

I think you found all the solutions. If you want to find ANY specific solution then just set C=any constant. I'm not sure why you think you did something wrong.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
