Answer:

a) [tex]y = - \frac{1}{x+c}[/tex]

b) y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:-

- We are given a ODE of the form:

                                   [tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2[/tex]

- To solve the given ODE and determine the general solution we will separate the variables in the given ODE as follows:

                                  [tex]\frac{dy}{y^2} = dx[/tex]

- Integrate both sides and determine a general explicit function of (y):

                                  [tex]\int {y^-^2} \, dy = \int {} \, dx + c\\\\-\frac{1}{y} = x + c\\\\y = -\frac{1}{x+c}[/tex]

b) The singular solution that exist but is not included is the trivial solution corresponding to y = 0. This solution satisfies the the given ODE

We want to solve the given differential equation, we will find:

  • a)  [tex]y = \frac{1}{(k - x)} [/tex]
  • b) y = 0
  • c) (a, 1/(9/4 - a))

How to solve the differential equation?

So we have:

[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = y^2[/tex]

a) if we define:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{(k - x)} [/tex]

And we derivate that, we will get:

[tex]y' = \frac{1}{(k - x)^2} = y^2[/tex]

So that is the general solution.

b) We would want a singular solution that is not included in the general form. Here we could use something like:

y = 0 we get:

dy/dx = 0 = 0^2

This is a trivial singular solution.

c) If we have y(a) = b, then:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{(k - a)} = b[/tex]

To find the value of k we use the other condition:

y'(2) = 4*y(2)

[tex]\frac{1}{(k-2)^2} = 4*\frac{1}{k - 2} \\ \\ \frac{1}{k - 2} = 4\\\\ (k - 2) = 1/4\\\\ k = 2 + 1/4 = 9/4[/tex]

Then we have:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{(9/4 - a)} = b[/tex]

So the points (a, b) are of the form: (a, 1/(9/4 - a))
