Answer

$\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}=cx^2$

Work Step by Step

Need to separate the variables to determine the differential equation and then integrate the obtained equation on the both sides. $\int \dfrac{1}{y^2-1}dy=\int \dfrac{dx}{x}$ This implies that $\dfrac{\ln [{\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}}]}{2}=\ln |x|+c'$ or, $\ln [{\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}}]=2 \ln |x|+\ln c'$ Hence, $\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}=cx^2$
