Solve cos(y′) = a, −1 ≤ a ≤ 1, with y(0) = 1.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: y = 1 + mx, where m = 2kπ ± arccos a, k ∈ ℤ.
For a differentiable solution, y′ takes values in {2kπ ± arccos a : k ∈ ℤ}. By the intermediate-value property of derivatives, it is constant on a connected interval.
Write y′ = m for one such value. Integration gives y = mx + C, and y(0) = 1 gives C = 1.
Therefore all branches are y = 1 + (2kπ ± arccos a)x. The principal branch alone is y = 1 + x arccos a.
