Chapter 1 Problem 1.3.32

Question

Verify that if c > 0, then the function defined piecewise by { O f 2 < ( ) 1 X = c, y x = (x2 -C)2 if x2 > c satisfies the differential equation y' = 4x..jY for all x. Sketch a variety of such solution curves for different values of c. Then determine (in terms of a and b) how many different solutions the initial value problem y' = 4x.JY, yea) = b has.

Solution

Step 1 of 7)

The first step in solving 1 problem number 32 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Verify that if c &gt; 0, then the function defined piecewise by { O f 2 &lt; ( ) 1 X = c, y x = (x2 -C)2 if x2 &gt; c satisfies the differential equation y' = 4x..jY for all x. Sketch a variety of such solution curves for different values of c. Then determine (in terms of a and b) how many different solutions the initial value problem y' = 4x.JY, yea) = b has.
From the textbook chapter First-Order Differential Equations you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
