1. Let I(u) = F(u'(x), u(x), x) dx. Find the first variation and Euler-Lagrange equations for each choice of F below. Then solve the equations to find a general solution for extremals of I(u). [Note: your solutions should have two constants of integration.] (a) F(p, u, x) = 1+p² U (b) F(p, u, x) = (c) F(p, u, x) = ² - /p² √p² + u²
