SUMMARY

The forum discussion addresses the solutions for the integrals involving the function y(x) in four distinct cases. For the integral ∫y(x)dx = kx, the solution is y(x) = k. For ∫y(x)dx = k/y, the solution is a separable differential equation yielding y(x) = k dy/dx. The integral ∫y(x)dx = k/x results in y(x) = -k/x². Each case emphasizes the importance of differentiating both sides to derive y(x) accurately.

I'm not sure anyone would buy your reasoning, especially dividing by dx that you have done.
For problem 3, ∫y(x)dx = kx, differentiate both sides with respect to x to get y(x) = k.
For problem 4, ∫y(x)dx = k/x, differentiate both sides with respect to x to get y(x) = -k/x2.
For problem 1, which you didn't try, ∫y(x)dx = ky. As before, differentiate both sides with respect to x to get y(x) = k dy/dx. This is a separable differential equation that is pretty easy to solve.
