Even simple looking differential equations can have complicated solution curves. In this problem, we study the solution curves of the differential equation y = 2xy2. (1.3.8) (a) Verify that the hypotheses of the existence and uniqueness theorem (Theorem 1.3.2) are satisfied for the initial-value problem y = 2xy2, y(x0) = y0 for every (x0, y0). This establishes that the initialvalue problem always has a unique solution on some interval containing x0. (b) Verify that for all values of the constant c, y(x) = 1 (x2 + c) is a solution to (1.3.8). (c) Use the solution to (1.3.8) given in (b) to solve the following initial-value problem. For each case, sketch the corresponding solution curve, and state the maximum interval on which your solution is valid.(i) y = 2xy2, y(0) = 1.(ii) y = 2xy2, y(1) = 1.(iii) y = 2xy2, y(0) = 1.(d) What is the unique solution to the initial-valueproblemy = 2xy2, y(0) = 0?
