One solution to the initial-value problem is y(x) = 1. Determine another solution. Does this contradict the existence and uniqueness theorem (Theorem 1.3.2)? Explain.

Reference : Theorem 1.3.2

(Existence and Uniqueness Theorem)

Let f (x, y) be a function that is continuous on the rectangle R = {(x, y) : a x b, c y d}.

Suppose further that f/y is continuous in R. Then for any interior point (x0, y0) in the rectangle R, there exists an interval I containing x0 such that the initial-value problem (1.3.2) has a unique solution for x in I .
