Consider y′=y2−x22xyy' = \dfrac{y^2 - x^2}{2xy}. Let y1y_1 be its solution with y1(1)=1y_1(1) = 1 and y2y_2 its solution with y2(1)=3y_2(1) = 3, each continued as far as it goes (with x>0x > 0, y>0y > 0). Find the area of the region above the xx-axis lying under the graph of y2y_2 but not under the graph of y1y_1.
