To solve these differential equations, we'll use the method of separation of variables. Let's solve them one by one:

a) To solve the differential equation
(square root(cotany)/(1 + x^2)) * sin^5(y) * dy/dx = e^(x^3) + (3x)/(square root(cotany))

First, multiply both sides of the equation by (1 + x^2) and divide by sin^5(y) to obtain:
(square root(cotany) * (1 + x^2) * dy) / sin^5(y) = (e^(x^3) + (3x)/(square root(cotany))) * dx

Now, on the left-hand side of the equation, you can rewrite (1 + x^2) * dy as d(y(1 + x^2)). Similarly, on the right-hand side, you can combine the terms involving "x" to get a single expression.

(square root(cotany) * d(y(1 + x^2))) / sin^5(y) = (e^(x^3) + (3x)/(square root(cotany))) * dx

Next, divide both sides of the equation by (e^(x^3) + (3x)/(square root(cotany))) and simplify:

(square root(cotany) * d(y(1 + x^2))) / sin^5(y) = dx

Now, you can integrate both sides of the equation with respect to x and solve for y:

∫(square root(cotany) * d(y(1 + x^2))) / sin^5(y) = ∫dx

Once you perform the integration on both sides, you'll obtain the solution for the differential equation.

b) To solve the differential equation
(y^2 / cos(x)) * dy = (e^sinx / e^(y^3 - 1)) * dx

Re-arrange the equation to get:

(y^2 * dy) / (e^(y^3 - 1)) = (e^sinx / cos(x)) * dx

Now, divide both sides of the equation by (e^sinx / cos(x)) and simplify:

(y^2 * dy) / (e^(y^3 - 1)) = sec(x) * dx

Next, integrate both sides of the equation:

∫[(y^2 * dy) / (e^(y^3 - 1))] = ∫sec(x) * dx

Once you perform the integration on both sides, you'll obtain the solution for the differential equation.

Note: The resulting integrals might be complex, and the solutions to the differential equations may not have a simple closed-form. In such cases, numerical methods or approximations might be necessary.
