c1x3+c2y2=5c_1x^3+c_2y^2=5 has two arbitrary constants, so differentiate twice. First: 3c1x2+2c2ydydx=03c_1x^2+2c_2y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=0. Differentiate again: 6c1x+2c2[(dydx)2+yd2ydx2]=06c_1x+2c_2\left[\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^2+y\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right]=0. From the first, c1=−2c2y dy/dx3x2c_1=-\dfrac{2c_2y\,dy/dx}{3x^2}; substitute into the second and cancel c2c_2: −4y dy/dxx+2[(dydx)2+yd2ydx2]=0-\dfrac{4y\,dy/dx}{x}+2\left[\left(\dfrac{dy}{dx}\right)^2+y\dfrac{d^2y}{dx^2}\right]=0, which simplifies (mul …
