Solve the Bernoulli differential equation: y5y=52xy3y' - 5y = -\frac{5}{2}x y^3 using the substitution u=y2u = y^{-2} and the method of integrating factors.

Using the Bernoulli equation, solve the differential equation of the form: y+P(t)y=G(t)yny' + P(t)y = G(t)y^n by introducing a new variable VV and applying the integrating factor method.

For the Bernoulli differential equation dydx+p(x)y=q(x)yn\frac{dy}{dx} + p(x)y = q(x) y^n, manipulate it to get rid of the yny^n term by multiplying both sides by yny^{-n}, and solve for yy using the substitution u=y1nu = y^{1-n}.
