Answer

$y=\sqrt{4x^2+3}$

Work Step by Step

$y(1+x^2)y'-x(1+y^2)=0$ $y(1+x^2)y'=x(1+y^2)$ $\frac{yy'}{1+y^2}=\frac{x}{1+x^2}$ $\int \frac{y}{1+y^2}dy=\int \frac{x}{1+x^2}dx$ $\frac{1}{2}\ln{(1+y^2)}=\frac{1}{2}\ln{(1+x^2)}+C$ $\ln{(1+y^2)}=\ln{(1+x^2)}+C$ $e^{\ln{(1+y^2)}}=1+y^2=e^{\ln{(1+x^2)}+C}=e^Ce^{\ln{(1+x^2)}}$ Let $k=e^C$ and solve for $y$ $y=\sqrt{k(1+x^2)-1}$. Now applying our initial condition we get $\sqrt{3}=\sqrt{k(1+0^2)-1}=\sqrt{k-1}$ Therefore k=4, and our particular solution is $y=\sqrt{4x^2+3}$
