Click For Summary
The discussion centers on solving the first-order non-linear ordinary differential equation (ODE) given by the expression (x*y*sqrt(x^2-y^2) + x)*y' = (y - x^2*(sqrt(x^2-y^2))). Participants identified issues with missing parentheses that altered the equation's interpretation. A substitution method using \(v=\frac{y}{x}\) was suggested, but it was noted that even advanced tools like WolframAlpha and WolframMathematica struggle to solve this ODE in closed form. An alternative solution was provided using Maple, yielding the result $\arctan \left( {\dfrac {y }{\sqrt {{x}^{2}- y ^{2}}}} \right) +\dfrac{1}{2}\left(y^2+{x}^{2}\right)=c_1$.
