It seems there might be a misunderstanding, as the fraction 2/5 does not appear in the solution.
The exponent we calculated was u−1/5+1.
To add these, we find a common denominator:
−51+1=−51+55=5−1+5=54
This resulted in u4/5.
Then, when integrating ∫undu=n+1un+1+C, we divided by the new exponent:
4/5u4/5
Dividing by a fraction is the same as multiplying by its reciprocal:
4/5u4/5=45u4/5
This is where the fraction 54 (as an exponent) and its reciprocal 45 (as a coefficient) appear.
