\(y=\dfrac{1}{5} \ln \abs{100 x+c}\)

Show Worked Solution
\(\dfrac{d y}{d x}\) \(=20 e^{-5 y}\)
\(\displaystyle \int e^{5y}\,d y\) \(=\displaystyle \int 20\, d x\)
\(\dfrac{1}{5} e^{5 y}\) \(=20 x+c\)
\(e^{5 y}\) \(=100 x+c\)
\(5 y\) \(=\ln \abs{100 x+c}\)
\( y\) \(=\dfrac{1}{5} \ln \abs{100 x+c}\)
