Differential Equations (Part 1)

1. Find the solution of the given initial value problem.
𝑥𝑑𝑦 + 𝑦𝑒 −𝑥 𝑑𝑦 = 0, 𝑦(0) = 1

2. Find the solution of the given initial value problem.

𝑦 ′ = 𝑥𝑦 3 (1 + 𝑥 2 )−1/2 , 𝑦(0) = 1

3. Solve for the initial value problem and determine the interval in which the solution is valid. Hint: To find the
interval of definition, look for points where the integral curve has a vertical tangent.
