The differential equation becomes d x d ( e 2 1 x 2 u ) = 1 + x x e 2 1 x 2 and hence the general solution is y A ( x ) = A e − 2 1 x 2 + e − 2 1 x 2 ∫ 0 x 2 1 + u e u d u for some constant A . If y A ( x 0 ) = y B ( x 0 ) , then e − 2 1 x 0 2 A = e − 2 1 x 0 2 B and hence A = B , so y A ≡ y B . Thus two distinct solutions of this differential equation cannot meet at a point.
