ODE Problem

We will rewrite the equation as follows:

By integrating on both sides, we get:

Now set t to 0 and get:

Therefore:

So the solution is
There are two theorems which tells us the fact that the solution exists and is unique.
Theorem 1 (Existence)
Suppose that F(x,y) is a continuous function defined in some region
