Exercise · ZW-EXISTENCE-AND-UNIQUENESS-THEOREM-001 · ★☆☆ Basic

For \(y'=xy^2\), what is \(\partial f/\partial y\)?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • B. \(2xy\)

Explanation

Differentiate \(f(x,y)=xy^2\) with respect to \(y\), treating \(x\) as a constant: \(2xy\).

Review the concept: Existence and uniqueness theorem

The existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that an initial value problem has a unique solution near the initial point, if the equation and its partial derivative with respect to the unknown are continuous there.

\[f,\ \frac{\partial f}{\partial y}\ \text{continuous near }(x_0,y_0)\ \Longrightarrow\ \text{a unique solution}\]
