T-Maze A mouse is put into a T-maze (a maze shaped like a “T”) (Fig. 2). If it turns to the left, it receives cheese, and if it turns to the right, it receives a mild shock. This trial is done twice with the same mouse and the directions of the turns recorded.

- (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.arrow_forwardPlease use mathematical induction to prove thisarrow_forwardIn simplest terms, Sketch the graph of the parabola.
