1
Rewrite the given differential equation in a more explicit form: \(y' = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{y^{2} - 1}{x}\).
Recognize that this is a separable differential equation because the right side can be expressed as a product of a function of \(y\) and a function of \(x\).
Separate the variables by rewriting the equation as \(\frac{dy}{y^{2} - 1} = \frac{dx}{x}\).
Integrate both sides: integrate \(\int \frac{1}{y^{2} - 1} \, dy\) on the left and \(\int \frac{1}{x} \, dx\) on the right.
After integration, solve the resulting equation for \(y\) implicitly or explicitly, and include the constant of integration.

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 y and a function of x, allowing variables to be separated on opposite sides of the equation. This form enables integration with respect to each variable independently to find the solution.

Integration Techniques

Solving separable equations requires integrating both sides after separation. Familiarity with integrating rational functions, such as partial fraction decomposition, is essential when dealing with expressions like (y² - 1) in the denominator or numerator.
