Problem

A twice-differentiable function gg satisfies g′(x)=pepx+q,g'(x)=p e^{p x}+q, where pp and qq are real constants. Additional information is provided: * g(0)=2g(0)=2. * g(1)=e+2g(1)=e+2. * The inverse function g−1g^{-1} exists in a neighborhood of x=0x=0, and (g−1)′(2)=12(g^{-1})'(2)=\dfrac12. Respond to each part, giving full justification. (1) Express g(x)g(x) in terms of pp, qq, and an integration constant, and then use g(0)=2g(0)=2 to determine that constant. (2) Using g(1)=e+2g(1)=e+2, write an equation relating pp and qq. (3) Using (g−1)′(2)=12(g^{-1})'(2)=\dfrac12, write a second independent equation relating pp and qq. (4) Solve the system of equations obtained in parts (b) and (c) to find the exact values of pp and qq. Explain how you know your solution is unique.
