Answer

$$y^3=-\frac{3}{2}(x^{-2}-1)$$

Work Step by Step

By separation of variables, we have $$y^2dy=x^{-3}dx$$ then by integration, we get $$\frac{1}{3} y^3=-\frac{1}{2}x^{-2}+c\Longrightarrow y^3=-\frac{3}{2}x^{-2}+A.$$ Now, since $y(1)=0$, then $A= \frac{3}{2}$. So the general solution is given by $$y^3=-\frac{3}{2}(x^{-2}-1)$$
