The statement "The rate of change of y with respect to x is inversely proportional to y^4" can be written mathematically as dy/dx = k/y^4
To solve the differential equation, we use variable saparable method.
y^4 dy = kdx
Integrating both sides gives,
y^5 / 5 = kx + A
y^5 = 5kx + 5A = Bx + C; where B = 5k and C = 5A
[tex]y= \sqrt[5]{Bx+C} [/tex]
