Midterm Exam

Test I: Classify each as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) or a partial differential

equation (PDE), give the order, degree and indicate whether the equation is linear or
nonlinear. (2 pts. each)
'''
1. e y −x y '' + y=0
2. y ' =( sin x ) y + e x
3. x y ' + y= √ y
d2 p 4 2
dp
4.
dθ 2
√
= p+
dθ ( )
5. ( sinθ ) y ' ' ' − ( cos θ ) y ' =2

Test II (Elimination of Arbitrary Constants): Eliminate C1 and C2. (5 points)

1. y=C 1 +C2 e− Ax

2. y=C 1 e x cos Ax+ C2 e x sin Ax

Take note: The value of A is your seat number.

Test III: Find the general solutions of the differential equations in Problems 1 through 6. If
an initial condition is given, find the corresponding particular solution. (5 pts. each)
Take note: Substitute the value of A to the problem. The value of A is your seat number.
Example: Your seat number is 3. Therefore, problem 1 is 3 xy dx−( x+ 2 ) dy =0.

1. Axy dx− ( x +2 ) dy=0

A
(
2. ydx + x+ y dy=0 )
