Differential Equations Midterm Exam

1. Define what is a family of curves/solutions. How is it different from a particular

solution? ***
- A family of curves has different values assigned to one or more parameters whose
equations have the same form, whereas as particular solution has the true value of a
constant and a more precise value. The difference between the two is purely due to the
specificity of the equation.

2. What is the type, linearity, order and degree of this differential equation?
Y’’’- 3y’ + 2y = 0 ***
Type: ODE
Linearity: Linear in Y
Order: 3
Degree: 1
