These are not fully worked solutions — you need to fill in the gaps. It is a good idea to look at the
“Hints” document before this one.

(ii) Split the integral into two parts, and then use a substitution of t = x − π, which will
give you: Z π Z π

You can then use the fact that sin(t+π) = − sin t to reduce the integrals to −π 2

and, by using your work from part (i) the answer is − 2 π ln 3.
(iii) Using sin 2x = 2 sin x cos x, the stem result and a substitution u = cos x leads to the

This should reduce the differential equation to one where the variables are separable.
The integral in x can be tackled with a substitution, or by inspection (“guessing” what

the answer is and then checking it). You should find that − u1 = 13 1 + x2 2 + c.
You do need to give the final answer in terms of y, and use the initial condition. The
final answer is: 1

y= 4 .
5 − (1 + x3 ) 3
(iii) This part requires you to look at the cases n = 2 (part (i)) and n = 3 (part (iii)) and
generalise in terms of n. Final answer:
1
(n + 1) (1 + xn ) n
y= n+1 .
(n + 2) − (1 + xn ) n
Note: in each case equivalent forms would be acceptable, but it is easier to find the general
case if you simplify the n = 2 and n = 3 cases as shown.

and so y = ex is a solution of (∗).
You can now substitute these into (∗), and you can divide throughout by ex (this is OK as
we have ex 6= 0). With some simplification you should obtain (∗∗).

ln |v| = −x + ln |x − 1| + c
and so:
v = ke−x (x − 1) where k = ec .

We now have = ke−x (x − 1) and so we have:
