Answer

a) $y=\tan \theta +C$ b) $y=\dfrac{2}{3} \sqrt{\theta^{3}}+C$ c) $y=\dfrac{2}{3} \sqrt{\theta^{3}}-\tan \theta +C$

Work Step by Step

a) When $\sec^2 \theta=(tan \theta)'$ This implies, $y'=\sec^2 \theta$ and $y=\tan \theta +C$ b) When $\sqrt {\theta}=(\dfrac{2}{3}) \sqrt{\theta^{3}}'$ This implies, $y'=\sqrt {\theta}$ and $y=(\dfrac{2}{3}) \sqrt{\theta^{3}}+C$ c) The general solution will be a difference of part a from part b. Therefore, $y'=(\dfrac{2}{3}) \sqrt{\theta^{3}}-\tan \theta +C$
