The Attempt at a Solution



After solving, my final result was 3 -y+x-3xy =0, but the given answer is 8x2+y2=9.. can someone please kindly check the answer for me? I checked it several times but I still couldn't find anything wrong with my solution..

Have you checked to see whether your solution satisfies the initial condition or the original ODE?
 
I tried it too and I got your answer. Then I checked Wolfram Alpha and it confirmed it.
 
Me too and confirm check if the 'given answer' satisfies the d.e. :wink:

(Useful habit too).
 
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...
