(15 points) Inthe homework you solved the differential equation v = }(1—y?) with the initial condition y(0) = 0 and found, hopefully, e-1 We) = a Now consider the differential equation f” = 4 — f? with the initial condition (0) = 0. Find the solution. Hint: There are two ways to do this. You can ignore the above formula for y(z) and just solve the dif eq for f.
