Find the general solution by separating the variables then integrating:
dy / dx = 3x√(1 + y²) / y
y / √(1 + y²) dy = 3x dx
∫ 2y / √(1 + y²) dy / 2 = 3 ∫ x dx
√(1 + y²) = 3x² / 2 + C
1 + y² = (3x² / 2 + C)²
1 + y² = [(3x² + C) / 2]²
1 + y² = (3x² + C)² / 4
y² = (3x² + C)² / 4 - 1
y = ±√[(3x² + C)² / 4 - 1]
y = ±√[{(3x² + C)² - 4} / 4]
y = ±√[(3x² + C)² - 4] / 2
y = ±√[{3(x² + C)}² - 4] / 2
y = ±√[9(x² + C)² - 4] / 2
Find the particular solution by solving for the constant:
When x = 1, y = √8
±√[9(1 + C)² - 4] / 2 = √8
±√[9(1 + C)² - 4] = 2√8
9(1 + C)² - 4 = 32
9(1 + C)² = 36
(1 + C)² = 4
1 + C = ±2
C = -3 OR C = 1
Only the positive square root works hence,
y = {√[9(x² - 3)² - 4] / 2, √[9(x² + 1)² - 4] / 2}

dy/dx = 3xâ(y² + 1)/y
y dy/â(y² + 1) = 3x dx
Integrating both sides:
â(y² + 1) = 3x²/2 + C
y = +/-â[(3x²/2 + C)² - 1]
