From Exampleproblems

There is a hidden assumption in the solution of this exercise, namely that the path p=p(t) has the form p(t)=(t,y(t)). This was not mentioned in the statement of the exercise. Of course, one can solve the more general variational problem of p(t)=(x(t),y(t)) as well, but it is more involved. I propose that be added in the statement of the exercise the assumption that the paths to be considered are of the form p(t)=(t,y(t)), or p(x)=(x,y(x)) for that matter.
