Due by 5 pm on Monday October 3rd . Please submit your solutions via the University Moodle.
Starred questions will be done out in tutorials and do not need to be handed in.
3. State whether the following differential equations are linear or nonlinear and give the order
of each equation.
4. Verify that the indicated functions are solutions to the given differential equations and
state whether they are implicit or explicit solutions. Assume an appropriate interval I of
definition.
(a) x2 y 00 + xy 0 + y = 0; y = cos(ln(x))
*(b) xy 0 + xy 2 − y = 0; y= 2x
x2 +c
(c) y 0 = 25 + y 2 ; y = 5 tan(5x).
5. Use the Separation of Variables technique to solve the following first order differential
equations or initial value problems.
dy x
(a) (1 − x) dx = 1+x (3 − y), [Hint: use a suitable substitution when integrating.]
dy
(b) ex y dx = e−y − e−2x−y ; y(0) = 0
*(c) yy 0 + 36x = 0; y(0) = 1
