Hello,
I'm having problems with a D.E. question,
I'm asked to solve the equation:
[tex]\left(1+y^{'2}\right)y=k^{2}[/tex]
where K is a certain positive integer to be determined later.
This more commonly known, as you probably know, as one of the solutions to the Brachistochrone Problem.
I really have no idea where to start. I've experimented with various methods of integration, which create nothing which I recognized as productive.
A gentle prod in the right direction would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
