Consider the first-order separable differential equation
dy/dx = y(y − 1)^2
where the domain of y ranges over [0, ∞).
(a) Using the partial fraction decomposition
1/(y(y − 1)^2) = 1/y −1/(y − 1) +1/((y − 1)^2)
find the general solution as an implicit function of y
(do not
attempt to solve for y itself as a function of x).
(b) Draw a phase diagram for (1). Assuming the initial value y(0)
=y0, find the interval of values for y0 that result in a bounded
solution (that is, a function that does not get arbitrarily far
away
from zero)
