There are two kinds of differential equations in the reducible higher order differential equations: y '' = f (x, y ') and y' '= f (y, y') The former equation can be solved by Y '= P, then y' = DP / DX = P ', while the latter equation can be solved by Y' = P, then y '= P * DP / dy. for example: YY' - y '^ 2 = 0, this equation is expressed by Y' = P, y '= P * DP / dy. why is y' = 1 + y '^ 2 solved by Y' = P, y '= P'? I know that, but the examples I gave are all short of X-type. Why are they different?

In brief:
The former P is a function of X and the latter P is a function of Y
The former P & # 39; is the derivation of X, and the latter P & # 39; is the derivation of Y
