Step 1
It is known that the slope of the curve at every point is twice the y-coordinate of that point. Thus, dydx=2y.
Theorem used:
The differential equations dydx=ky has solutions of the form y(t)=y(0)ekt.
Step 2
Using the above theorem, solution of the differential equation is given by
y(x)=y(0)e2x
Given that the point (0,5) is on the curve, that is y(0)=5.
Thus, y(x)=5e2x.

Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a curve passes through the point (0, 5) and has the property that the slope of the curve at every point P is twice the y-coordinate of P.
Let y=f(x) be the equation of the curve
Since slope =2y
we have dydx=2y
y=2dx
lny=2x+C
y=Ae2x
To find A
It passes through (0,5)
Substitute x=0 and y=5
5=A
So equation is y=5e2x
