Question
A particle P of mass m=1 moves on the x-axis under the force field
F=36/(x^3) - 9/(x^2) (x>0).
Show that each motion of P consists of either (i) a periodic oscillation between two extreme points, or (ii) an unbounded motion with one extreme point, depending on the value of the total energy.
