Additionally, solve the following problems.
1. In each part below, find the largest interval I such that the initial value
problem has a unique solution on I.
dy
(a) + ln(t)y = ln(3 − t), y(1) = 4.

dy 1 1
(b) + y = 2 , y(3) = −1.
dt 2 + t t − 3t + 2
2. In each part below, (i) does there exist a positive real number h such that
a solution of the IVP exists on the interval (−h, h), and (ii), if there is such
1
an h, is the solution of the IVP on the interval (−h, h) unique?
Additionally, in each part, if there is a solution, and if one of the methods
we have learned so far is applicable, try to find a non-constant solution.
