(a) This is a Bernoulli equation:


Substitute
and
to transform the ODE to


which is now linear in
. Using the integrating factor method, the I.F. is

Distribute
on both sides to get a derivative of a product on the left side.


Integrate both sides (the integral on the right can be done by parts) to get

Solve for
.


Solve for
.


You could go on to solve explicitly for
if you like.
(b) This is also a Bernoulli equation:


Substitute
and
.


Now repeat the method from (a) to solve for
.
