Answer

$y(x)=f^{-1}[I^{-1}[\int I(x)q(x)dx + C]]$

Work Step by Step

We are given: $$f'(y)\frac{dy}{dx}+p(x)f(y)=q(x)$$ with $p(x),q(x) \in C(a,b)$ Let $t= f( y) \rightarrow t'=f'(y)y'$ Substituting: $$t'+p(x)t=q(x)$$ The solution can be found by obtaning: $$t=e^{-\int p(x)dx}[\int e^{\int p(x)dx}q(x)dx+C$$ $C$ is a constant of integration. Since $t= f( y) \rightarrow y=f^{-1}y$ and f is an invertible function The solution is: $$y(x)=f^{-1}[I^{-1}[\int I(x)q(x)dx + C]]$$
