everywhere, the region R in Theorem 1.1 can be
taken to be entire xy-plane.
Find a solution from the family that satisfies y 0 1.
Then, find a solution from the family that satisfies
y 0 1.
Determine the largest interval I of definition for the
solution of each IVP.
Solution:

a) It can be verified that y is a one-parameter
xc
family of solutions of the differential eqn.
