Separate the variables in this first-order ordinary differential equation:
Integration gives , so . On the interval containing the prescribed point , we have . The initial condition therefore gives , hence . Choosing the positive square root to match that initial condition yields
The maximal interval containing on which this solves the explicit ordinary differential equation is . At the left endpoint , the original denominator vanishes and the derivative becomes unbounded. Directly, and , verifying the equation throughout this interval.
