dsolve((1+x^2)*diff(y(x),x)^2-2*x*y(x)*diff(y(x),x)+y(x)^2-1=0,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) &= \sqrt {x^{2}+1} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= -\sqrt {x^{2}+1} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= c_{1} x -\sqrt {-c_{1}^{2}+1} \\ y \left (x \right ) &= c_{1} x +\sqrt {-c_{1}^{2}+1} \\ \end{align*}
