We should separate the variables here by treating d y d t as a division problem to get all terms with y and all terms with t on the same side of the equation.
d y d t = 4 y t
d y y = 4 t d t
Integrating both sides and rewriting with fractional exponents:
y - 1 2 d y = 4 t 1 2 d t
Using typical integration rules:
y 1 2 1 2 = 4 ( t 3 2 3 2 ) + C
2 y = 8 3 t 3 2 + C
Solving for y gives:
y = ( 4 3 t 3 2 + C ) 2
We were given the initial condition y(1)=6, which we can use to solve for C:
6 = ( 4 3 ( 1 ) 3 2 + C ) 2
6 = 4 3 + C
C = 6 - 4 3
Then:
y = ( 4 3 t 3 2 + 6 - 4 3 ) 2
