Answer

$y=x(\sin(\ln|Cx|))$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$y'-x^{-1}y=x^{-1}\sqrt x^2-y^2$$ Let $$V=\frac{y}{x}$$ then $$\frac{dy}{dx}=V+x\frac{dV}{dx}$$ The equation becomes: $$V+x\frac{dV}{dx}=\sqrt 1-V^2+V$$ $$x\frac{dV}{dx}=\sqrt 1-V^2$$ $$\frac{1}{\sqrt 1-V^2}dV=\frac{1}{x}dx$$ Integrating both sides: $$\arcsin V=\ln|xC|$$ $$\rightarrow V=\sin \ln (Cx)$$ $$\frac{y}{x}=\sin \ln (Cx)$$ Hence general solution is $y=x(\sin(\ln|Cx|))$
