Section 1.3 (p. 25-30)

1. Problem 1.3.9: Suppose a large mixing tank initially holds 300 gallons of water in
which 50 pounds of salt has been dissolved. Pure water is pumped into the tank
at a rate of 3 gal/min, and when the solution is well stirred, it is pumped out at
the same rate. Determine the differential equation for the amount A(t) of salt in
the tank at time t. What is A(0)?
2. Solve the initial value problem (IVP) derived in point 1.

Section 2.2 (p. 48-50)

3. Problem 2.2.5: Solve =4 .

4. Problem 2.2.8: Solve = + .

5. Problem 2.2.12: Solve sin3 + 2 cos 3 =0

Section 2.3 (p. 57-59)

6. Problem 2.3.3: Solve + = .

7. Problem 2.3.6: Solve ′+2 = .

8. Problem 2.3.19: Solve ( + 1) + ( + 2) = 2 .
