The Attempt at a Solution


I have no idea how to go about it. I've never solved a differential equation of second degree before.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
It may look scary, but it really isn't. Just divide both sides by (y2+1) then multiply both sides by dx. It's integrable from there.
 
Thanks a lot, I got it now. I keep forgetting the inverse trig derivatives.
 
No problem at all.
