differential equation - beginner question [closed]
If I have a differential equation on the form
$$y = y' cdot c_1$$
can I freely solve for $y'$ and use the solution for
$$y' = y cdot c_2$$
where $c_2 = frac{1}{c_1}$?

Yes, of course. Assuming that $c in mathbb R$ is a constant, then if $c neq 0$ :
$$y = y' cdot c Leftrightarrow y' = y cdot frac{1}{c} equiv y cdot c$$
Since $c$ is an arbitrary constant, any expression of it will also be a constant, so you can always "manipulate" it to be just $c$. Note that only if you have some certain restrictions for $c$, then you will need to take these in mind on how they affect the expression $1/c$.
