Verification solution to simple IVP

51 Views Asked by At

My textbook states:

The function $$u(t) = t^2$$

is a solution to the IVP:

$$u'(t) = 2\sqrt{|u(t)|}\hspace{30pt}u(0) =0$$

and I'm a little bit confused, since $u'(-10) = -20 \neq 20 = 2\cdot10 = 2\cdot\sqrt{100} = 2\cdot\sqrt{(-10)^2}$. Am I missing something?
