Hello,
Could someone please help me to simplify my solution to my ODE?
Here is the solution I get when I check it using Maple 10,

Here are my steps:
[tex]
\left( {1 + x^3 } \right)\frac{{dy}}{{dx}} - 3x^2 y = 0
[/tex]
[tex]
\left( {1 + x^3 } \right)dy = 3x^2 ydx
[/tex]
[tex]
\int {\frac{1}{y}} dy = \int {\frac{{3x^2 }}{{1 + x^3 }}} dx
[/tex]
Let [tex]u = 1 + x^3 [/tex] then [tex]\frac{{du}}{3} = x^2 dx[/tex]
[tex]
\ln \left| y \right| = \frac{1}{3}\int {\frac{1}{u}} du
[/tex]
[tex]
\ln \left| y \right| = \frac{1}{3}\ln \left| u \right| + C
[/tex]
[tex]
\ln \left| y \right| = \frac{1}{3}\ln \left| {1 + x^3 } \right| + C
[/tex]
How do I simplify this down to match the answer in Maple 10?
