DSolve[a*x*y[x]*y'[x] == x^2 + y[x]^2,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> -(Sqrt[x^2 + (-1 + a)*x^(2/a)*C[1]]/Sqrt[-1 + a])}, {y[x] -> Sqrt[x^2 + (-1 + a)*x^(2/a)*C[1]]/Sqrt[-1 + a]}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(a*x*y(x)*diff(y(x),x) = x^2+y(x)^2, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
-x^2/(a-1)-x^(2/a)*_C1+y(x)^2 = 0
