Solving a differential equation with natural log

$begingroup$

I am given:

$xdfracdydx=dfrac1y^3$

After separating and integrating, I have:

$y^4/4=ln x+C$

I am supposed to solve this equation, but I'm stuck here. Should I solve explicitly so I can keep $C$?

EDIT:

A solution I came up with last night was:

$y=(4ln x+C)^1/4$

Try differentiating to see if you got the correct solution!

You can compute
$$
fracdydx = frac14left(4 ln x + Cright)^-3/4left(frac4xright) = frac1xleft(4 ln x + Cright)^-3/4
$$

so
$$
xfracdydx = left(4 ln x + Cright)^-3/4.
$$

Is this equal to $dfrac1y^3$?
