Explanation & Answer

Thank you for the opportunity to help you with your question!

Dividing both sides of the initial equation by 3x and multiplying both sides by dx gives the equation:

dy = (sqrt(x^2-25)/(3x))dx

This equation can be integrated leaving the equation:

y = (1/9)(sqrt(x^2-25)^(3/2)) + C.

Plugging in the point (5,3) means C = 3 so the final answer is:

y = (1/9)(sqrt(x^2-25)^(3/2)) + 3

Please let me know if you need any clarification. I'm always happy to answer your questions.
