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