Answer

$y=-\dfrac{2}{(x+1)^2+C}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(x+1)y^2$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $\dfrac{dy}{y^2}=(x+1) \ dx$ Integrate to obtain: $\int \dfrac{dy}{y^2}=\int (x+1) dx$ This implies that $y^{-2} \ dy=\int (x+1) \ dx$ or, $-\dfrac{1}{y}=\dfrac{(x+1)^2}{2}+C$ Therefore, we have: $y=-\dfrac{2}{(x+1)^2+C}$
