Learn how to solve differential equations problems step by step online. Solve the differential equation dy/dx=(y-1)(y+1). Group the terms of the differential equation. Move the terms of the y variable to the left side, and the terms of the x variable to the right side of the equality. Simplify the expression \frac{1}{\left(y-1\right)\left(y+1\right)}dy. Integrate both sides of the differential equation, the left side with respect to y, and the right side with respect to x. Solve the integral \int\frac{1}{y^2-1}dy and replace the result in the differential equation.

Final Answer

$-\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(y+1\right)+\frac{1}{2}\ln\left(y-1\right)=x+C_0$
