Finishing touches to obtain the particular solution of a differential equation
I have been following the workings in my textbook on autonomous equations and could follow everything except for one step: obtaining the particular solution for y.
The general solution is:
To satisfy the initial condition
Despite having been working on this for a good deal of time, I simply am unable to comprehend how they eventually solved for y, giving:
Could you explain to me how this was arrived at?

Beginning with the general solution cited, ie
we proceed to invert both sides concurrently :
Now, making use of the substitution
we therefore have
Thereafter, this simply reduces to
Hope this helps. Peace.
