Submission: Handwritten solution for the following problems on A-4 paper. Do not turn in
pages torn out of odd sized note-books cobbled by tearing their corners
without using staples. Such submissions are unacceptable.

Acceptability: As all submissions will be similar, what distinguishes your work is how you
set up the problem, declare variables, introduce constants, etc. Sketch neat
diagrams, show all working and units (where applicable).

Plagiarism: Please note that we have ZERO tolerance policy on plagiarism, so it is

important that you attempt the questions yourself. Any act of plagiarism will
be reported to the Disciplinary Committee.
Problem # 1 [10 × 3 pts]
Find the general solution of the given DEQs. Give the largest interval 𝐼
over which the general solution is defined. Determine whether there
are any transient terms in the general solution.

𝑑𝑦
a) + 𝑦 = 𝑒 3𝑥
𝑑𝑥
b) 𝑦 + 3𝑥 2 𝑦 = 𝑥 2
′

c) 𝑦 ′ = 2𝑦 + 𝑥 2 + 5
Problem # 2 [25 pts]
Solve the following IVP using the method of Variation of Parameters.
Hint: There is a catch in this problem. Make sure you spot it and use the
correct approach/trick.

𝑑𝑦
+ 1 + sin2 𝑥 𝑦 = 𝑥; 𝑦 0 = 2
𝑑𝑥
Problem # 3 [20 + 10 pts]
Given the following IVP:

𝑦′ + 𝑦 = 1 + cos 2 𝑥 ; 𝑦 1 = 4

a) Find the complete solution to the IVP using the method of Variation of
Parameters. Hint: There is a catch in this problem. Make sure you spot
it and use the correct approach/trick.

b) Find the value of 𝑦 2 . Hint: Again! You need to apply the simplest
trick taught in class.
Problem # 4 [10 × 4 pts]
Determine whether the following DEQs are exact. If they are inexact,
make it exact, and solve it.

a) 2𝑥𝑦 2 + 4 = 2 3 − 𝑥 2 𝑦 ′
1 𝑑𝑦 𝑦
b) 2𝑦 − + cos 3𝑥 + 2 − 4𝑥 3 + 3𝑦 sin 𝑥 =0
𝑥 𝑑𝑥 𝑥

d) 𝑦𝑒 − 𝑑𝑥 + 𝑥𝑒 + 2 𝑑𝑦 = 0
𝑦 𝑦
Problem # 5 [20 pts]
Consider the following first-order ODE where 𝑦 is the dependent
variable and 𝑥 is the independent variable:
