I've been working on this question but just can't crack it. It is as follows.
Using $ \frac {dy}{dx}= \frac {a\sqrt{x^2+y^2}+by}{bx}$ where $ y(1)=0 $
and by letting $ v=\frac{y}{x} $ transform the above differential equation to an equation in $v$ and $x$. Find the implicit solution of the resulting separable equation. Then use the relationship $y=xv$ to obtain $y+\sqrt{x^2+y^2}=x^{\frac{a}{b}+1}$
I've tried separate the upper terms into two fractions which makes the second term simply $\frac {by}{bx}=v$ but I am still left with the nasty square root with the y on the inside and I can't shift it easily to solve as a first order DE. Also I was thinking about solving it as a linear first order ODE but we have a squared term. Sorry about formatting as well, first time posting a question.
