(a) Verify that both \(y_{1}(t)=1-t\) and \(y_{2}(t)=-t^{2} / 4\) are solutions of
the initial value
problem
$$
y^{\prime}=\frac{-t+\left(t^{2}+4 y\right)^{1 / 2}}{2}, \quad y(2)=-1
$$
Where are these solutions valid?
(b) Explain why the existence of two solutions of the given problem does not
contradict the uniqueness part of Theorem 2.4 .2
(c) Show that \(y=c t+c^{2},\) where \(c\) is an arbitrary constant, satisfies the
differential
equation in part (a) for \(t \geq-2 c .\) If \(c=-1,\) the initial condition is
also satisfied, and the
solution \(y=y_{1}(t)\) is obtained. Show that there is no choice of \(c\) that
gives the second
solution \(y=y_{2}(t) .\)
