Consider the differential equation

.

(a) Show that the constant function y1(t) = 0 is a solution.


(b) Show that there are infinitely many other functions that satisfy the differential equation, that agree with this solution when t ≤ 0, but that are nonzero when t >0. [Hint: You need to define these functions using language like “y(t) = . . . when t ≤ 0 and y(t) = . . . when t > 0.”]


(c) Why doesn’t this example contradict the Uniqueness Theorem?
