Solve the differential equation

 The given problem is in form of a first order ordinary differential equation. To evaluate this, we may follow the variable separable differential equation: .



Apply direct integration on both sides:



For the left side, we apply basic integration property:


For the right side, we apply several substitutions to simplify it.


 Let then and  . The integral becomes:






Let then or . The integral becomes:





Apply the basic integration property: .



Let then and or



The integral becomes:








Apply basic integration formula for inverse hyperbolic tangent function:



Then, with corresponding values as: and   , we get: and  



Recall  and then


Plug-in on  , we get:







Plug-in on , we get:




Combining the results from both sides, we get the general solution of the differential equation as:
