# (sqrt(y-x)-1)e^sqrt(y-x)=sqrt(ce^x)#.

Explanation:

Let, #sqrt(y-x)=v#.

#:. y-x=v^2#.

Diff.ing w.r.t. #x, dy/dx-1=2v*(dv)/dx, or, dy/dx=2v*(dv)/dx+1#.

Sub.ing in the given diff. eqn., we get,

# 2v*(dv)/dx+1=sqrt(v^2)=v, i.e., #

# 2v*(dv)/dx=v-1, or, # separating the variables,

# 2{v/(v-1)}dv=dx#.

#:. 2{{(v-1)+1}/(v-1)}dv=dx#.

#:. 2{(v-1)/(v-1)+1/(v-1)}dv=dx#.

#:. 2{1+1/(v-1)}dv=dx#.

Integrating, #2int{1+1/(v-1)}dv=intdx+lnc#.

#:.2{v+ln(v-1)}=x+lnc#.

#:. v+ln(v-1)=1/2(lnc+x)#.

#:. lne^v+ln(v-1)=1/2(lnc+lne^x)#.

#:. ln{(v-1)e^v}=1/2{ln(ce^x)}=lnsqrt(ce^x)#.

#:. (v-1)e^v=sqrt(ce^x)#.

Reverting from #v# to #sqrt(y-x)#, we get the Gen. Soln.,

# (sqrt(y-x)-1)e^sqrt(y-x)=sqrt(ce^x)#.
