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

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \sqrt {\frac {\sqrt {x^{4}+15}}{x}} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.277 (sec). Leaf size: 20

DSolve[{y'[x]+y[x]/(2*x)==x/y[x]^3,{y[1]==2}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(x)\to \frac {\sqrt [4]{x^4+15}}{\sqrt {x}} \]
