We consider the existence of positive solutions of one-dimensional prescribed mean curvature equation -(u'/root 1+u'(2))' = lambda f(u), 0 < t < 1, u(t) > 0,t is an element of (0, 1), u(0) = u(1) = 0 where lambda > 0 is a parameter, and f: [0,infinity) -> [0,infinity) is continuous. Further, when f satisfies max {u(p),u(q)} <= f(u) <= u(p) + u(q), 0 < p <= q + infinity, we obtain the exact number of positive solutions. The main results are based upon quadrature method.
