`ysqrt(1-x^2)y' - xsqrt(1-y^2) = 0 , y(0) = 1` Find the particular solution that satisfies the initial condition

The given problem: `ysqrt(1-x^2)y' -xsqrt(1-y^2)=0` is written in a form of first order "ordinary differential equation" or first order ODE.


 To evaluate this, we can apply variable separable differential equation  in which we express it in a form of `f(y) dy= g(x) dx ` before using direct integration on each side.


To rearrange the problem, we move `xsqrt(1-y^2)` to the other to have an equation as:`ysqrt(1-x^2)y' = xsqrt(1-y^2)` .


 Divide both sides by `sqrt(1-y^2)sqrt(1-x^2)` :


`(ysqrt(1-x^2)y')/(sqrt(1-y^2)sqrt(1-x^2)) = (xsqrt(1-y^2))/(sqrt(1-y^2)sqrt(1-x^2))`


`(y*y')/sqrt(1-y^2)= x/sqrt(1-x^2)`


Applying direct integration: `int(y*y')/sqrt(1-y^2)= int x/sqrt(1-x^2)`


Express `y'` as `(dy)/(dx)` : `int(y*(dy)/(dx))/sqrt(1-y^2)= int x/sqrt(1-x^2)`


Express in a form of `f(y) dy= g(x) dx` : `int(y*dy)/sqrt(1-y^2)= int (x*dx)/sqrt(1-x^2)`



To find the indefinite integral on both sides, we let:


`u = 1-y^2` then `du =-2y dy` or   `(du)/(-2) =y dy`


`v = 1-x^2` then `dv =-2x dx` or `(dv)/(-2) =x dx`


 The integral becomes: 


`int(y*dy)/sqrt(1-y^2)= int (x*dx)/sqrt(1-x^2)`


`int((du)/(-2))/sqrt(u)= int ((dv)/(-2))/sqrt(v)`


Apply the basic integration property: `int c*f(x) dx= c int f(x) dx` .


`(-1/2) int((du))/sqrt(u)= (-1/2) int (dv)/sqrt(v)`


Apply the Law of Exponents: `sqrt(x) = x^(1/2) and 1/x^n = x^(-n)` .


Then, the integral becomes:


`(-1/2) int((du))/u^(1/2)= (-1/2) int (dv)/v^(1/2)`


`(-1/2) int u^(-1/2)du= (-1/2) int v^(-1/2)dv`


Applying Power Rule of integration: `int x^ndx= x^(n+1)/(n+1)`


`(-1/2) int u^(-1/2)du= (-1/2) int v^(-1/2)dv`


`(-1/2) u^(-1/2+1)/(-1/2+1)= (-1/2) v^(-1/2+1)/(-1/2+1)+C`


`(-1/2) u^(1/2)/(1/2)= (-1/2) v^(1/2)/(1/2)+C`


`-u^(1/2)= - v^(1/2)+C`


Note: `(-1/2)/(1/2) = -1`


In radical form: `- sqrt( u)= -sqrt(v)+C`


Plug-in `u =1-y^2` and `v=1-x^2` , we get the general solution of differential equation:


`- sqrt( 1-y^2)= -sqrt(1-x^2)+C`


Divide both sides by `-1` , we get: `sqrt( 1-y^2)= sqrt(1-x^2)+C` .


Note:`C/(-1) = C` as arbitrary constant


For particular solution, we consider the initial condition ` y(0) =1` where  `x_0=0` and `y_0=1` .


Plug-in the values, we get:


`sqrt( 1-1^2)= sqrt(1-0^2)+C`


`sqrt(0)=sqrt(1)+C`


`0=1+C`


`C = 0-1`


`C =-1` .


 Then plug-in C =-1 on the general solution: `sqrt( 1-y^2)= sqrt(1-x^2)+C` .


`sqrt( 1-y^2)= sqrt(1-x^2)+(-1)`



`(sqrt(1-y^2))^2 =(sqrt(1-x^2) -1)^2`


`1-y^2= (1-x^2) -2sqrt(1-x^2) +1`


Rearrange into:


`y^2=-(1-x^2) +2sqrt(1-x^2)`


`y^2=-1+x^2 +2sqrt(1-x^2)`


`y^2=x^2+2sqrt(1-x^2)-1`


Taking the square root on both sides:


`y =sqrt(x^2+2sqrt(1-x^2) -1)`
