DSolve[y'[x]^3 == a*x^n,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (3*a^(1/3)*x^(1 + n/3))/(3 + n) + C[1]}, {y[x] -> (-3*(-1)^(1/3)*a^(1/
3)*x^(1 + n/3))/(3 + n) + C[1]}, {y[x] -> (3*(-1)^(2/3)*a^(1/3)*x^(1 + n/3))/(3
+ n) + C[1]}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(diff(y(x),x)^3 = a*x^n, y(x),'implicit')
Maple raw output
y(x) = 3*x/(n+3)*(a*x^n)^(1/3)+_C1, y(x) = 3*x*(I*3^(1/2)-1)*(a*x^n)^(1/3)/(2*n+
6)+_C1, y(x) = -3*x*(I*3^(1/2)+1)*(a*x^n)^(1/3)/(2*n+6)+_C1
