Expert Solution
Step 1

To use Ito's formula to derive the SDE for Y(t), we need to first find the differential of Y(t) using the chain rule:

 

dY = d(X^2) = 2X dX + (dX)^2

 

Since X satisfies the SDE dx = alpha tX dt + beta X^2 dW, we can substitute this expression for dX and simplify using Ito's lemma:

 

dY = 2X dX + (dX)^2

= 2X (alpha tX dt + beta X^2 dW) + (alpha tX dt + beta X^2 dW)^2

= 2alpha tX^2 dt + 2beta X^3 dW + alpha^2 t^2 X^2 dt^2 + 2alpha beta t X^3 dW dt + beta^2 X^4 dW^2
