There is no "c" in the previous line!In summary, the given initial value problem can be solved by separating variables and integrating to obtain the equation $y=-\frac{1}{\frac{x^2}{2}+2x-1}$, or $y=\frac{-2}{x^2+4x-2}$ after multiplying both numerator and denominator by 2. The minimum value can be found by setting the derivative of y to 0, resulting in x = -2. However, there was a typo in the given solution where the constant of integration was incorrectly included in the final equation.

Solve the initial value problem $y'=2y^2+xy^2,\quad y(0)=1$
find min value

$\begin{array}{ll}
\textit{separate variables}
&\dfrac{1}{y^{2}}\ dy=(2+x)\ dx\\ \\
\textit{integrate}
& -\dfrac{1}{y}=2x+\dfrac{x^2}{2}+C\\ \\
\textit{plug in $(0,1)$}
& -\dfrac{1}{1}=0+0+c \therefore c=-1\\ \\
\textit{the equations is}
& y=-1/(x/2+2x-1)+c\\ \\
y'=0 & \textit{returns } x=-2
\end{array}$

typos maybe:cool:

There is a typo where you have
$y= -1/(x/2+ 2x- 1)+ c$
You clearly intended "$x^2/2$". Also, having determined that the constant of integration was -1, where did that additional "c" come from?

here is the book answer

yeah your right about the $x^2$

Every thing is good until that last equation!
Integrating gives
$-\frac{1}{y}= \frac{x^2}{2}+ 2x+ C$
an y(0)= 1 gives C= -1 so
$-\frac{1}{y}= \frac{x^2}{2}+ 2x- 1$.

Then solving for y (if you are asked to do so- I would consider the previous line a perfectly good solution)
$y= \frac{-1}{\frac{x^2}{2}+ 2x- 1}$
or, if you don't like a fraction in the denominator of afraction, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2:
$y= \frac{-2}{x^2+ 4x- 2}$

But, again, where did that "+c" in your last line come from?
