(a)
Write as . Multiply both sides by dx.
Integrate both sides:
Instead of getting a constant of integration, all we know is that we have something that is constant with respect to y, which means some (at this point unknown) function of y. Now multiply both sides by dy - same trick as above with x - don't worry about the difference between  and d !
Integrate both ...
