(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 
.
