DSolve[y[x]*y'[x]^2 == a,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (3/2)^(2/3)*(-(Sqrt[a]*x) + C[1])^(2/3)}, {y[x] -> (3/2)^(2/3)*(Sqrt[a]*x + C[1])^(2/3)}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(y(x)*diff(y(x),x)^2 = a, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
x-2/3*y(x)^2/(a*y(x))^(1/2)-_C1 = 0, x+2/3*y(x)^2/(a*y(x))^(1/2)-_C1 = 0
