\(F(t,y)= 6 \, {\left(5 \, t + 3 \, {y} + 26\right)}^{\frac{4}{5}} \) is continuous at and nearby the initial value so a solution exists for a nearby interval.

\(F_y= \frac{72}{5 \, {\left(5 \, t + 3 \, {y} + 26\right)}^{\frac{1}{5}}} \) is not continous (or even defined) at the initial value so the guaranteed solution may not be unique.
