QUESTION:

(a) Verify that y = 1/(x + c) is a one-parameter family of solutions of the differential equation \(y^{\prime}=y^{2}\).

(b) Since \(f(x, y)=y^{2}\) and \(\partial f / \partial y=2 y\) are continuous everywhere, the region R in Theorem 1.2.1 can be taken to be the entire xy-plane. Find a solution from the family in part (a) that satisfies y(0) = 1. Then find a solution from the family in part (a) that satisfies y(0) = -1. Determine the largest interval I of definition for the solution of each initial-value problem.

(c) Determine the largest interval I of definition for the solution of the first-order initial-value problem \(y^{\prime}=y^{2}\), y(0) = 0. [Hint: The solution is not a member of the family of solutions in part (a).]

Text Transcription:

y^prime=y^2

f(x, y)=y^2

partial f / partial y=2y

y^prime=y^2
