TopicDifferential equations

13. (i) Solve the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = y ( 1 + y ) ( 1 - x ) ,$$ given that \(y = 1\) when \(x = 1\). Give your answer in the form \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\), where f is a function to be determined.
(ii) By considering the sign of \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) near \(( 1,1 )\), or otherwise, show that this point is a maximum point on the curve \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
