5) Solve 2yy’’ = 1 + (y’)^2
Let
,
then

Moreover,

Substituting the value of
in the given question, we get


Intergrating both sides, we get

Thus,

where
. Using above equation to find the value of
, we get



Integrating both sides we get

Squaring both sides we get


Since we had a second order differential equation, we have got
two solutions one corresponding with
and another one with
.
