Solve

\begin{align*} \sqrt {1+v^{\prime }}&=\frac {{\mathrm e}^{u}}{2} \end{align*}

Solved as first order quadrature ode

Time used: 0.067 (sec)

Since the ode has the form \(v^{\prime }=f(u)\), then we only need to integrate \(f(u)\).

\begin{align*} \int {dv} &= \int {\frac {{\mathrm e}^{2 u}}{4}-1\, du}\\ v &= -u +\frac {{\mathrm e}^{2 u}}{8} + c_{1} \end{align*}
