  • Session A

Functions f,g,hf,g,h are differentiable on some open interval around 00 and satisfy the equations and initial conditions

f′=2f2gh+1gh,f(0)=1,g′=fg2h+4fh,g(0)=1,h′=3fgh2+1fg,h(0)=1.\begin{gathered}f' = 2f^2gh+\frac{1}{gh}, f(0)=1, \\ g'=fg^2h+\frac{4}{fh}, g(0)=1, \\ h'=3fgh^2+\frac{1}{fg}, h(0)=1.\end{gathered}

Find an explicit formula for f(x)f(x), valid in some open interval around 00.
