Find all solutions of the nonlinear differential equation
on the interval satisfying the initial conditions
From a previous exercise (Section 8.5, Exercise #13) we know that a function which is never zero on an interval
is a solution of the initial value problem
if and only if on
where
is the unique solution of the initial-value problem
In the present problem we have the equation
Therefore, to apply the previous exercise we have
Hence, is a solution to the given equation if and only if
where
is the unique solution to
We can solve this using Theorem 8.3 (page 310 of Apostol), first computing
giving us
Therefore,
