Rewrite the given differential equation to isolate \( \frac{dy}{dx} \): \( (x^{2} + 1)^{2} \frac{dy}{dx} = \sqrt{x^{2} + 1} \) becomes \( \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{\sqrt{x^{2} + 1}}{(x^{2} + 1)^{2}} \).
Simplify the right-hand side by expressing the square root as a power: \( \sqrt{x^{2} + 1} = (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{1}{2}} \), so \( \frac{dy}{dx} = (x^{2} + 1)^{\frac{1}{2} - 2} = (x^{2} + 1)^{-\frac{3}{2}} \).
Set up the integral to find \( y \) by separating variables: \( dy = (x^{2} + 1)^{-\frac{3}{2}} dx \), then integrate both sides: \( y = \int (x^{2} + 1)^{-\frac{3}{2}} dx + C \).
Use an appropriate substitution or recognize the integral form to evaluate \( \int (x^{2} + 1)^{-\frac{3}{2}} dx \). For example, consider a trigonometric substitution such as \( x = \tan \theta \) or use a standard integral formula.
Apply the initial condition \( y(0) = 1 \) to solve for the constant of integration \( C \) after finding the antiderivative expression for \( y \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Separable Differential Equations

A separable differential equation can be written as a product of a function of x and a function of y, allowing the variables to be separated on opposite sides of the equation. This enables integration with respect to each variable independently to find the solution.
