Solve

\begin{align*} {y^{\prime }}^{2}&=\frac {1}{x^{2} y^{3}} \end{align*}

Solved as first order ode of type nonlinear p but separable

Time used: 0.325 (sec)

The ode has the form

\begin{align*} (y')^{\frac {n}{m}} &= f(x) g(y)\tag {1} \end{align*}

Where \(n=2, m=1, f=\frac {1}{x^{2}} , g=\frac {1}{y^{3}}\). Hence the ode is

\begin{align*} (y')^{2} &= \frac {1}{x^{2} y^{3}} \end{align*}

Solving for \(y^{\prime }\) from (1) gives

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } &=\sqrt {f g}\\ y^{\prime } &=-\sqrt {f g} \end{align*}

To be able to solve as separable ode, we have to now assume that \(f>0,g>0\).

\begin{align*} \frac {1}{x^{2}} &> 0\\ \frac {1}{y^{3}} &> 0 \end{align*}

Under the above assumption the differential equations become separable and can be written as

\begin{align*} y^{\prime } &=\sqrt {f}\, \sqrt {g}\\ y^{\prime } &=-\sqrt {f}\, \sqrt {g} \end{align*}

Therefore

\begin{align*} \frac {1}{\sqrt {g}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {f}\right )\,dx\\ -\frac {1}{\sqrt {g}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {f}\right )\,dx \end{align*}

Replacing \(f(x),g(y)\) by their values gives

\begin{align*} \frac {1}{\sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\right )\,dx\\ -\frac {1}{\sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}} \, dy &= \left (\sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\right )\,dx \end{align*}

Integrating now gives the following solutions

\begin{align*} \int \frac {1}{\sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}d y &= \int \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}d x +c_1\\ \frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right )\\ \int -\frac {1}{\sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}d y &= \int \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}d x +c_1\\ -\frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right ) \end{align*}

Therefore

\begin{align*} \frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \\ -\frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \\ \end{align*}

Summary of solutions found

\begin{align*} -\frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \\ \frac {2 y^{4} \sqrt {\frac {1}{y^{3}}}}{5} &= \sqrt {\frac {1}{x^{2}}}\, x \ln \left (x \right )+c_1 \\ \end{align*}
