Solve
\begin{align*} y^{\prime \prime }+{y^{\prime }}^{2}&=0 \end{align*}
Solved as second order missing y ode
Time used: 0.095 (sec)
This is second order ode with missing dependent variable \(y\). Let
\begin{align*} p(x) &= y^{\prime } \end{align*}
Then
\begin{align*} p'(x) &= y^{\prime \prime } \end{align*}
Hence the ode becomes
\begin{align*} p^{\prime }\left (x \right )+p \left (x \right )^{2} = 0 \end{align*}
Which is now solve for \(p(x)\) as first order ode. Integrating gives
\begin{align*} \int -\frac {1}{p^{2}}d p &= dx\\ \frac {1}{p}&= x +c_1 \end{align*}
Singular solutions are found by solving
\begin{align*} -p^{2}&= 0 \end{align*}
for \(p \left (x \right )\). This is because we had to divide by this in the above step. This gives the following
singular solution(s), which also have to satisfy the given ODE.
\begin{align*} p \left (x \right ) = 0\\ p \left (x \right ) = 0 \end{align*}
Solving for \(p \left (x \right )\) gives
\begin{align*}
p \left (x \right ) &= \frac {1}{x +c_1} \\
\end{align*}
For solution (1) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order
ode to solve which is
\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = 0 \end{align*}
Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).
\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {0\, dx} + c_2 \\ y &= c_2 \end{align*}
For solution (2) found earlier, since \(p=y^{\prime }\) then we now have a new first order ode to solve which is
\begin{align*} y^{\prime } = \frac {1}{x +c_1} \end{align*}
Since the ode has the form \(y^{\prime }=f(x)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(x)\).
\begin{align*} \int {dy} &= \int {\frac {1}{x +c_1}\, dx}\\ y &= \ln \left (x +c_1 \right ) + c_3 \end{align*}
Will add steps showing solving for IC soon.
Summary of solutions found
\begin{align*}
y &= c_2 \\
y &= \ln \left (x +c_1 \right )+c_3 \\
\end{align*}
