Problem

Consider the equation f′(x)=f(x)f'(x) = f(x), from Example 6.3.3. Show that given any x0x_0, any y0y_0, and any positive h<1/2h < 1/2, we can pick α>0\alpha > 0 large enough that the proof of Picard's theorem guarantees a solution for the initial condition f(x0)=y0f(x_0) = y_0 in the interval [x0−h,x0+h][x_0 - h, x_0 + h].
