Obtain an implicit solution and, if possible, an explicit solution of the initial value problem.

The initial value problem shown in the image is:

\[
y'' + \sec(y) = 0, \quad y(0) = 0
\]

To solve this differential equation, we proceed as follows:

### Step 1: First integral
The equation is second-order, so we can reduce its order by multiplying both sides by \( y' \) (where \( y' = \frac{dy}{dx} \)) and integrating.

\[
y' y'' + y' \sec(y) = 0
\]

This can be rewritten as:

\[
\frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{(y')^2}{2} \right) + y' \sec(y) = 0
\]

Integrating both sides with respect to \( x \), we obtain:

\[
\frac{(y')^2}{2} + \int y' \sec(y) \, dx = C
\]

The second term simplifies because \( \int y' \sec(y) \, dx = \ln|\sec(y) + \tan(y)| \), so we get:

\[
\frac{(y')^2}{2} + \ln|\sec(y) + \tan(y)| = C
\]

Multiplying through by 2 and simplifying:

\[
(y')^2 = 2C - 2 \ln|\sec(y) + \tan(y)|
\]

### Step 2: Initial condition
Using the initial condition \( y(0) = 0 \), we substitute into the equation:

\[
y'(0)^2 = 2C - 2 \ln|\sec(0) + \tan(0)| = 2C - 2 \ln(1) = 2C
\]

Thus, \( y'(0) = 0 \), which implies that \( 2C = 0 \), so \( C = 0 \).

This reduces the equation to:

\[
(y')^2 = -2 \ln|\sec(y) + \tan(y)|
\]

At this point, finding an explicit solution becomes difficult because the integral is not elementary, so the equation remains implicitly defined. However, this provides the implicit relationship for \( y(x) \).
