Correct Answer: 1
Solution and Explanation
To solve this second-order differential equation, we find the general solution and analyze the critical points by setting \( y'(x) = 0 \). The smallest value of \( \alpha \) that prevents any critical points is obtained through careful calculation, which gives \( \alpha = 1.0 \).
