Homework Statement
J(f)=[itex]\int[/itex] 2xf−f′2+3f2f′dx
f(0)=0,f(1)=−1.
Homework Equations
Ff-[itex]\frac{d}{dx}[/itex]Ff'=0
The Attempt at a Solution
Ff=2x+6f f''
Ff'=-2f' + 6f2
Plugging in, I get:
2x+6f f''- [itex]\frac{d}{dx} (-2f' + 6f<sup>2</sup>)<br /> <br /> 2x+6f f''-12f f'-2f''=0<br /> <br /> Which doesn't look correct to me.<br /> I'm guessing my mistake was in the differentiation, but I don't see it.[/itex]
