Question No. 1

SOLUTION:

y' = y +2y5

dy /dx- y = 2y5

Comparing Bernoullie equation

Dy/dx- p(x)y = q(x)yn

p(x)=1

q(x)=2

n=5

dy/dxy-5-y-4=2 → eq1

v=y-4 →eq2

differentiate w.r.t 'x'

dv/dx=-4y-5d/dx

-1/4dv/dx=y-5dy/dx ->eq3

put eq2 and eq3 in eq1

-1/4dv/dx-v=2

Dv/dx+4v=-8

This is linear equation.

To solve this we find the integrating factor u (x)

U(x)=eᶴ4dx

=e4x

The solution of linear equation is given by,

V=ᶴ u(x)q(x)dx+c/u(x)

V=ᶴ e4x (-8)dx+c/e4x

V=-2+ce-4x

Since v=y-4

y-4=-2+ce-4x

y=4√1/-2+ce4x (ANS)

QUESTION NO.2:

SOLUTION:

Let A(t) be the amount present at any time t and A0 the original amount of C-14. Therefore, the
process is governed by the initial value problem.

dA/dt= kA, A(0)=A0

We know that the solution of the problem is,

4(t)=A0 ek

Since the half life of the carbon isotope is 5730 years. Therefore,

A(5730)=A0/2

So that,

A0/2=A0 e5730k OR 5730 =-In 2

k=-0.00012097

Hence

A(t)=A0 e(-0.00012097)

If t denotes the time when fossilized bone was found then A(t)=0.14A0

0.14A0=A0 e(-0.00012097)  e(-0.00012097)t=ln(0.14)

therefore,

f=16253 years
