Chapter 3.1, Problem 10E

(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.
