State the Euler-Lagrange equation for finding extreme values of I [y] for this prob- lem. Explain why the function y(x) = x is an extremal, and for this function, show that I = 2. Without doing further calculations, give the values of I for the functions y(x) = x² and y(x) = x³.arrow_forwardPlease use mathematical induction to prove thisarrow_forward
