I divided 50 miles by 2 = 25 miles (walked) 25 miles (horseback)
I divided 25 by 3 = 8.33
I divided 25 by 9 = 3
Added together = 8.33 + 3 = 11.33
So time to complete the journey 11.33 hour

50/2 = 25

Therefore he spent 25 miles on his horse and 25 miles walking

He covers 9 miles every hour on his horse

25/9 = 2 $\frac{7}{9}$ hours

He covers 3 miles every hour walking

25/3 = 8 $\frac{1}{3}$ hours

Total time taken to complete his journey = 2 $\frac{7}{9}$ + 8 $\frac{1}{3}$ = 11 $\frac{1}{9}$ hours

Solve the differential. This was in the 2016 VCE Specialist Maths Paper 1 and i'm a bit stuck

$\sqrt{2 - x^{2}} \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{2 - y}$
$\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{1}{(2 - y)\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$

Now, isolate the variables, so you can integrate.
$(2 - y)dy = \frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$\int (2 - y)\,dy = \int\frac{dx}{\sqrt{2 - x^{2}}}$
$2y - \frac{y^{2}}{2} = sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + \frac{1}{2}C$

$4y - y^{2} = 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} + C$
$y^{2} - 4y = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} - 4 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$(y - 2)^{2} = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C$

$y - 2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$y = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

At x = 1, y = 0.
$0 = 2 \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$
$-2 = \pm\sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C > 0$
$\therefore 2 = \sqrt{4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C}$

$4 = 4 - 2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$0 = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - C$
$C = -2sin^{-1}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = -2\frac{\pi}{4}$
$C = -\frac{\pi}{2}$

$\therefore y = 2 - \sqrt{4 + \frac{\pi}{2} - 2sin^{-1}\frac{x}{\sqrt{2}}}$
