Step 1
In a short description of the geometric situation, the function
f(x,y)=sin(y+x2)
has positive values f(x, 0) on the x-axis for x2(0,π). Thus on (π, π) it can not be crossed downwards.
The only way to have y(0)=0 is to have y<0 for x<0 and y>0 for x>0 inside this interval.
For your task solution you might have to find more detailed justifications for these steps.
