Question

(a) Suppose also that $y(x_0) = y_0$ and $y(x_1) = y_1$ where $x_0, x_1, y_0, y_1 \in \mathbb{R}$ and $x_0 \neq x_1$. Is it possible for there to be a unique solution? Explain and graph the solution curves of the ODE (HINT: What would be visible in this graph if there was not a unique solution?) (b) Give an example of initial data. Does the Existence and Uniqueness Theorem guarantee a unique solution? Check the premise of the theorem. Then solve.

Step 1

This means that the general solution of the ODE is of the form y(x) = c1e^(r1x) + c2e^(r2x), where r1 and r2 are the distinct real roots of the characteristic equation. Show more…
