Existence, Uniqueness & Bifurcations · Medium problem

Consider the IVP y′+yt+1=9−ty' + \dfrac{y}{t + 1} = \sqrt{9 - t}, y(0)=1y(0) = 1. The existence and uniqueness theorem for first-order linear equations guarantees a unique solution on the largest open interval containing t=0t = 0 on which the coefficients are continuous. What is the length of that interval?
