Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.0 (sec). Leaf size: 45

dsolve((1-x^3)*diff(y(x),x)-2*(1+x)*y(x)=y(x)^(5/2),y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ -\frac {c_{1}}{\frac {x^{2}}{\left (x -1\right )^{2}}+\frac {x}{\left (x -1\right )^{2}}+\frac {1}{\left (x -1\right )^{2}}}+\frac {1}{y \left (x \right )^{\frac {3}{2}}}+\frac {3}{4 \left (x^{2}+x +1\right )} = 0 \]
