Step-by-step solution:
1. Start with the differential equation y' = 5y .
2. This is a first-order linear differential equation that can be solved by separation of variables.
3. Rearrange the equation: \frac{dy}{y} = 5 dx .
4. Integrate both sides:
\int \frac{1}{y} dy = \int 5 dx
\ln|y| = 5x + C
5. Solve for y :
y = e^{5x + C} = Ce^{5x}
6. Rewrite the constant term to match the alternative forms:
\ln|y| = 5x + \ln|C|
7. Recognize that \ln|C| can be absorbed by a constant term, so:
5x - \ln|y| = C \quad \text{or} \quad \ln|y| = 5x + C'
The corresponding form is:
5x - \ln|y| = c .
