MAT 2384 X Assignment # 2

due Wednesday, June 5th

Solve the following initial value problems:

1. y 0 + 3y = e2x , y(0) = 0
2. y 0 + y cot x = 2 cos x, y(π/2) = 2
3. y 0 + y √ tan x = y 2 , y(0) = 1/2 √
4. y 00 + 2 3y 0 + 3y = 0, y(0) = 3, y 0 (0) = 0
5. y 00 − 6y 0 + 13y = 0, y(0) = 2, y 0 (0) = 0
6. y 00 − y 0 − 12y = 0, y(0) = 2, y 0 (0) = 15
7. x2 y 00 + 5xy 0 + 4y = 0, x > 0, y(1) = y 0 (1) = 2
8. x2 y 00 − 5xy 0 + 13y = 0, x > 0, y(1) = 0, y 0 (1) = 5
9. x2 y 00 − 6xy 0 + 10y = 0, x > 0, y(1) = 6, y 0 (1) = 18

10. Consider the data points ( (xj , fj ), where fj = f (xj ) ): (1.2, 2.4) , (1.4, 3.8) and
(1.8, 5.2) . Find p2 (x) (with coefficients to 4 decimal places) via Lagrangian Interpolation.
Interpolate a value at x = 1.5 . Given that 0.50 ≤ f 000 (x) ≤ 2 on [1, 2] , estimate the error
bounds.
