(b) Let I[y] be a functional of y(x) defined by
[[y] = √(x²y' + 2xyy' + 2xy + y²) dr,
subject to boundary conditions
y(0) = 0,
y(1) = 1.
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.
Please use mathematical induction to prove this
In simplest terms, Sketch the graph of the parabola. Then, determine its equation.
opens downward, vertex is (- 4, 7), passes through point (0, - 39)
