For part (a);

$$\int e^{3y} \,dy=\int 3x^2\ln x \,dx$$$$\frac{e^{3y}}{3}=x^3\ln x-\frac{x^3}{3}+k$$$$\frac{e^{3}}{3}=e^3-\frac{e^3}{3}+k$$$$\frac{e^{3y}}{3}=x^3\ln x-\frac{x^3}{3}-\frac{e^3}{3}$$$$e^{3y}=3x^3 \ln x-x^3-e^3$$

You may check my working...i do not have the solution.

You can check this for yourself, something you should always do when you solve differential equations. Since this is an initial value problem, checking your solution amounts to doing two things:
  1. Verify that the point (e, 1) satisfies the equation ##e^{3y}=3x^3 \ln x-x^3-e^3 ##.
  2. Verify that for the implicit equation you found satisfies the DE ##\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{3x^2 \ln(x)}{e^{3y}}##.

I find your work correct. Only thing you could add more detailed steps is in the passage from first to second line, but yes ok it is just one integration by parts.

Thanks @Mark44 ...1. ##e^3=3e^3-e^3-e^3## (thus satisfied).

2.

##3e^{3y}y'=9x^2\ln x +3x^2-3x^2##

##⇒3e^{3y}y'=9x^2\ln x##

##y'=\dfrac{9x^2\ln x}{3e^{3y}}=\dfrac{3x^2\ln x}{e^{3y}}##
 
Something I've said to many of my students when I taught classes on differential equations. I said it in a previous post here, but it bears repeating.

There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
