Thread: initial value problem help!

I can't seem to solve this problem. First I use U substitution to get

u * du/dy + 2 * u^2 / (y+1) = u^(1/2) / (y + 1)^3

This is as far as I got. I can't get it to where I can separate the variables. Could someone show me how to get it to where I can separate the variables?

If you divide your u equation by u

this equation is Bernoulii.
