Solving a non-linear differential equation of second degree

72 Views Asked by At

How do I solve the differential equation $y^2= 2px+ p^2 $, $\ $ $p$ $\ $ being $\frac{dy}{dx}$? I came up with this equation accidentally while trying to copy an exercise from the book. The actual problem is fine, but this equation is troubling me for a while. I tried reducing it to Clairaut's form to no avail. I tried solving for $y$ or $x$, but failed. Kindly help me out.
