Problem number: 8.1 (iv).
ODE order: 1.
ODE degree: 1.

The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "quadrature"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[_quadrature]

\[ \boxed {x^{\prime }+x^{2}=0} \]

3.4.1 Solving as quadrature ode

Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} \int -\frac {1}{x^{2}}d x &= t +c_{1}\\ \frac {1}{x}&=t +c_{1} \end {align*}

Solving for \(x\) gives these solutions \begin {align*} x_1&=\frac {1}{t +c_{1}} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} x &= \frac {1}{t +c_{1}} \\ \end{align*}
