54 Ordinary Differential Equations
In exercises 7-12 find all points ( c , d) where solutions to the initial
value problem consisting of the given differential equation and the
initial condition y(c) = d may not exist or may not be unique.
7. y' = x/y^2 8. y' = Vfj/x
9. y' = xy/(1- y)
- y' = J(y - 4)/x
10. y' = (xy)I/3
12. y' = -y/x + y^114
In exercises 13-22 state the interval on which the solution to the
linear initial value problem exists and is unique.
y' = 4y - 5; y(l) = 4
y' + 3y = 1; y(-2) = 1
y' = ay + b; y(c) = d where a, b, c, and dare real constants.
y' = x^2 +ex - sinx; y(2) = -1

- Verify that Y1(x) = 1 and y2(x) = sin(-
2
-) are both solut ions on
the interval (-ft, ft) of the init ia l value problem
y' = -xJ17; y(O) = 1.
Does this violate the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem? Ex-
plain.
- Verify that Y1 (x) = 9 - 3x and y 2 (x) = -x^2 /4 are both solutions of
the initial value problem
y' = (-x+ Jx^2 +4y)/2; y(6) = -9.
Does this violate the fundamental existence and uniqueness theorem? Ex-
plain.
