Problem

  1. Solve the equation \(u^2+2u\sinh x -1=0\) giving \(u\) in terms of \(x\). Find the solution of the differential equation \[ \left( \frac{\d y}{\d x}\right)^{\!2} +2 \frac{\d y}{\d x} \sinh x -1 = 0 \] that satisfies \(y=0\) and \(\dfrac {\d y}{\d x} >0\) at \(x=0\).
  2. Find the solution, not identically zero, of the differential equation \[ \sinh y \left( \frac{\d y}{\d x}\right)^{\!2} +2 \frac{\d y}{\d x} -\sinh y = 0 \] that satisfies \(y=0\) at \(x=0\), expressing your solution in the form \(\cosh y=\f(x)\). Show that the asymptotes to the solution curve are \(y=\pm(-x+\ln 4)\).
