Answer

$$y= 1+4e^{-\tan x }$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$y^{\prime} \cos ^{2} x+y-1=0 \quad y(0)=5$$ Rewrite the equation as the following \begin{aligned} y^{\prime} +\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x}y&=\frac{1}{\cos ^{2} x} \\ y^{\prime} +(\sec^2 x)y&=\sec ^{2} x\\ \end{aligned} This is a linear equation with $$ p(x) =\sec^2 x,\ \ \ \ \ \ \ q(x) =\sec^2 x$$ The integration factor \begin{aligned} u(x) &=e^{\int p(x)dx}\\ &= e^{\int \sec^2xdx}\\ &=e^{\tan x } \end{aligned} Hence the solution given by \begin{aligned} u(x) y&= \int u(x) q(x) dx\\ e^{\tan x } y &= \int \sec^2 xe^{\tan x }dx\\ e^{\tan x } y &= e^{\tan x }+c \end{aligned} At $x=0$, $y=5$, then \begin{aligned} 5 &= 1+c\\ c&=4 \end{aligned} It follows that \begin{aligned} e^{\tan x } y &= e^{\tan x }+4\\ y&= 1+4e^{-\tan x } \end{aligned}
