For special polynomials $f_2 (w)$, $f_1 (w)$, $f_0 (w)$ in w with analytic coefficients, the equation $f_2 (w)w'^2 + f_1 (w)w' + f_0 (w) = 0$ has appeared many times in the literature. Frequently, the equation is irreducible, $\deg f_2 = 0$, $\deg f_1 \leqq 2$, $\deg f_0 \leqq 4$, and either $4f_2 f_0 - f_1^2 $ has a multiple root or its degree is $ \leqq 2$. Under these conditions, there is an algebraic transformation to simplify the equation. This paper motivates the transformation and illustrates its effectiveness in diverse situations.
