Consider the scalar differential equation \[ x\dot x= a(t)+ B(t)x+ c(t) x^2.\tag{\(*\)} \] Under the assumptions (i) \(a,b,c: \mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}\) are \(T\)-periodic and continuously differentiable; (ii) \(a\) has at least one zero in \([0,T]\); (iii) \(\min|b(t)|^2> -4\min\dot a(t)[1+ T\max|c(t)|]\), the authors prove that \((*)\) has a \(T\)-periodic solution that has the sign of \(-a(t)b(t)\), and is \(C^1\). This solution is unique, if all the zeros of \(a\) are simple.
