A differential equation is given along with the field or problem area in which it arises. Classify it as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) or a partial differential equation (PDE), give the order, and indicate the independent and dependent variables. If the equation is an ordinary differential equation, indicate whether the equation is linear or nonlinear. y[1 + (dy/dx)^2] = C, where C is a constant (brachistochrone problem, calculus of variations) Classify the given differential equation.
