Proof of Solutions for y' = xg(x,y) Equation

In summary, we are given the equation y'= xg(x,y) and assume that g and (partial) dg/dy are defined and continuous for all (x,y). We need to show the following:1) y(x)=0 is a solution This statement is not true in general. A counterexample would be if g(x,y)= 1, then y(x)= (1/2)x^2 + C is a solution. But y(x)= 0 is not a solution since y'= 0 and y'= 0 is not equal to x.2) If y=y(x) is a solution for x in (a,b) and y(x0)>0 for some x0 in (a,b),

Given the equation y'= xg(x,y) , suppose that g and (partial) dg/dy are defined and continuous for all (x,y). Show the following:

1) y(x)=0 is a solution

2)if y=y(x), x in (a,b) is a solution and if y(x0)>0, x0 in (a,b), then y(x)>0 for all x in (a,b)

Please i need your help.

You can't- it's not true. For example, supose g(x,y)= 1 so the equation is y'= x. Then [itex]y(x)= (1/2)x^2+ C[/itex]. y(x)= 0 is not a solution since then y'= 0 and so [itex]y'= 0\ne x[/itex]. there may be some other condition that you have left out.

2)if y=y(x), x in (a,b) is a solution and if y(x0)>0, x0 in (a,b), then y(x)>0 for all x in (a,b)

Please i need your help.
