If y1 = 2x+2 and y2 = -x^2/2 are the solutions of the equation y= xy' +( y')^2/2 then are the constant multipliers c1 , c2 are arbitrary, also the solutions of the given D.E. ? Is the sum y1+ y2 a solution ? Justify your answer.
A mass m, free to move along a line is attracted towards a given point on the line with a force proportional to its distance from the given point . If the mass starts from rest at a distance s from the given. Show that the mass moves in a simple harmonic motion.
