Consider the problem

y'=\sqrt{y^2+x^2+1}
y(0)=0

Prove that the solution is defined for all x \in \mathbb{R} and that y(x) \geq \sinh (x) \forall x \geq 0

Is this homework?
 
Not really, I just don't know where to start from.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
