Question:

Consider the Clairaut equation

for which g(y') = -1/4 (y')2 in Eq. (37). Show that the line

is tangent to the parabola

Explain why this implies that y = x2 is a singular solution of the given Clairaut equation. This singular solution and the one-parameter family of straight line solutions are illustrated in Fig. 1.6.10.
