Answer:


y=((-(4)/(x)+1)^2-3 )/(4)

Explanation:

We are given the following information. y have the point
(-2,(3)/(2) ) and
(dy)/(dx) =(√(4y+3) )/(x^2)

First, we need to separate the variables to their respective sides


(1)/(√(4y+3) ) dy=(1)/(x^2) dx

Now, we need to integrate each side


\int (1)/(√(4y+3) ) dy=\int(1)/(x^2) dx

But first, let us rewrite these functions


\int (4y+3)^{-(1)/(2) } dy=\int x^(-2) dx

Before we can integrate, we need to have the hook for the first function. When we integrate
(4y+3)^{-(1)/(2) }, we must have a lone 4 within the integral as well.


(1)/(4) \int4 (4y+3)^{-(1)/(2) } dy=\int x^(-2) dx

Now we can integrate each side to get


(1)/(4) √(4y+3) =-(1)/(x) + c

Now is the best time to use the given point in order to find the value of c.


(1)/(4) \sqrt{4((3)/(2)) +3} =-(1)/(-2) + c\\\\(1)/(4)√(6+3) =(1)/(2) +c \\\\(3)/(4)=(1)/(2) +c\\ \\c=(1)/(4)

Now we can plug in our value for c and then solve for y


(1)/(4) √(4y+3) =-(1)/(x) + (1)/(4) \\\\√(4y+3)=-(4)/(x) +1\\ \\4y+3=(-(4)/(x) +1)^2\\\\4y=(-(4)/(x) +1)^2-3\\\\y=((-(4)/(x) +1)^2-3)/(4)
