Homework Statement


I just solved a differential equation and got the problem down to its implicit solution:
y/√(1+y2) = x3+C where C is an arbitrary constant
My question now is, how can I solve for y? I can't get past the algebra. Thanks!

Square both sides. Solve for y^2. Take a square root. Come on. Try it.
 
Square both sides and bring the bottom part to the other side. You'll get

y^2 = (1+y^2)(x^3 + c)^2

Then multiply out and regroup.

y^2 -y^2(x^3 + c)^2 = (x^3 + c)^2

then you'll get y^2 = \frac{(x^3+c)^2}{1-(x^3+c)^2}

So y = \sqrt{\frac{(x^3+c)^2}{1-(x^3+c)^2}}
 
thank you!
 
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...
