Answer

$$ y=\frac{1}{3}x^3+1.$$ $$ y= -\frac{1}{x-1}.$$

Work Step by Step

For the equation $$\frac{dy}{dx}=x^2\Longrightarrow y=\frac{1}{3}x^3+c.$$ Using the condition $ y(0)=1$, we obtain that $1=0+c $; then $ c=1$ and hence the solution is $$ y=\frac{1}{3}x^3+1.$$ For the equation $$\frac{dy}{dx}=y^2\Longrightarrow \frac{dy}{y ^2}=dx \Longrightarrow - \frac{1}{y} =x+c.$$ Using the condition $ y(0)=1$, we obtain that $-1=0+c $; then $ c=-1 $ and hence the solution is $$ y= -\frac{1}{x-1}.$$
