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

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[_quadrature]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime }+\frac {1}{2 y}=0} \]

1.6.1 Solving as quadrature ode

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

Solving for \(y\) gives these solutions \begin {align*} y_1&=\sqrt {-x -c_{1}}\\ y_2&=-\sqrt {-x -c_{1}} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= \sqrt {-x -c_{1}} \\ \tag{2} y &= -\sqrt {-x -c_{1}} \\ \end{align*}
