Extremals of ∫12(y′)2x−αdx\int_1^2 (y')^2x^{-\alpha}dx

For α≥0\alpha\ge0, consider the functional

Jα[y]=∫12(y′)2xα dxJ_\alpha[y]=\int_1^2\frac{(y')^2}{x^\alpha}\,dx

defined for all continuously differentiable functions defined on the interval [1,2][1,2] satisfying the conditions y(1)=1y(1)=1, y(2)=2y(2)=2. Then which of the following statements are true?
