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