this is one of the late math GRE problems. unfortunately you do actually have to know math to answer this one, but you don’t have to know nearly as much math as you would think

I think I could’ve figured this out when I was taking the AP Calc exam in high school no issue

I think I probably could’ve figured this out in freshman year of high school when I was teaching myself calculus for fun

the trick is since every other term is squared you know that the left side equaling 0 requires dy/dx to have the opposite sign to y, and A is the only graph with that property for both solutions always

I think all you need is “the derivative, represented by dy/dx, is the slope of the function”

#10342

you can also factor it as (dy/dx + y)^2, in which case you can show to yourself that the solution is exactly when dy/dx = -y. but i only realized that after the fact
