Answer

$4Ce^{4x}=4Ce^{4x} \therefore y=Ce^{4x}$ is a solution of the differential equation $y'=4y$.

Work Step by Step

If we know the solution to a differential equation; we are able to verify the solution by taking its derivative and substituting it back into the differential equation 1. Given that $y=Ce^{4x}$ 2. Compute the derivative $y'$ $y'=4\cdot Ce^{4x}=4Ce^{4x}$ 3. Substitute into differential equation $ \Rightarrow y'=4y \Rightarrow 4Ce^{4x}=4(Ce^{4x})$ 4. Verification $4Ce^{4x}=4Ce^{4x} \therefore y=Ce^{4x}$ is a solution of the differential equation $y'=4y$.
