Answer

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

Work Step by Step

In order to to solve the given differential equation we will have to separate the variables and then integrate. Here, we have $\int \dfrac{dy}{y^2-1}=\int \dfrac{dx}{x}$ or, $\dfrac{\ln [{\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}}]}{2}=\ln |x|+c'$ Then, we have $\ln [{\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}}]=2 \ln |x|+\ln c'$ Hence, $\dfrac{y-1}{y+1}=cx^2$
