Short Answer

In Problems 23-28, determine whether Theorem 1 implies that the given initial value problem has a unique solution.

dydx=y4-x4, y(0)=7

The hypotheses of Theorem 1 are satisfied.

The theorem shows that the given initial value problem has a unique solution.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Finding the partial derivative of the given relation with respect to y

Here, fx,y=y4-x4 and fy=4y3.

Step 2: Determining whether Theorem 1 implies the existence of a unique solution or not.

Now from Step 1, we find that both of the functions fx,y and fy are continuous in any rectangle containing the point 0,7, so the hypotheses of the Theorem are satisfied. It then follows from the theorem that the given initial value problem has a unique solution in an interval about x=0 of the form 0-δ, 0+δ, where δ is some positive number.

Hence, Theorem 1 implies that the given initial value problem has a unique solution.
