Introduction to Differential Equations

1.1 Definitions and Terminology

1. Second order; linear

2. Third order; nonlinear because of (dy/dx)4

3. Fourth order; linear

4. Second order; nonlinear because of cos(r + u)



5. Second order; nonlinear because of (dy/dx)2 or 1 + (dy/dx)2

6. Second order; nonlinear because of R2

7. Third order; linear

8. Second order; nonlinear because of ẋ2

9. Writing the differential equation in the form x(dy/dx) + y 2 = 1, we see that it is nonlinear
in y because of y 2 . However, writing it in the form (y 2 − 1)(dx/dy) + x = 0, we see that it is
linear in x.

10. Writing the differential equation in the form u(dv/du) + (1 + u)v = ueu we see that it is linear
in v. However, writing it in the form (v + uv − ueu )(du/dv) + u = 0, we see that it is nonlinear
in u.

11. From y = e−x/2 we obtain y  = − 12 e−x/2 . Then 2y  + y = −e−x/2 + e−x/2 = 0.

12. From y = 6
5 − 65 e−20t we obtain dy/dt = 24e−20t , so that
 
dy 6 6 −20t
+ 20y = 24e−20t + 20 − e = 24.
dt 5 5

13. From y = e3x cos 2x we obtain y  = 3e3x cos 2x−2e3x sin 2x and y  = 5e3x cos 2x−12e3x sin 2x,
so that y  − 6y  + 13y = 0.

14. From y = − cos x ln(sec x + tan x) we obtain y  = −1 + sin x ln(sec x + tan x) and

y  = tan x + cos x ln(sec x + tan x). Then y  + y = tan x.

15. The domain of the function, found by solving x+2 ≥ 0, is [−2, ∞). From y  = 1+2(x+2)−1/2
we have

(y − x)y  = (y − x)[1 + (2(x + 2)−1/2 ]

= y − x + 2(y − x)(x + 2)−1/2

= y − x + 2[x + 4(x + 2)1/2 − x](x + 2)−1/2

= y − x + 8(x + 2)1/2 (x + 2)−1/2 = y − x + 8.

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−2, ∞) because y  is
not defined at x = −2.

16. Since tan x is not defined for x = π/2 + nπ, n an integer, the domain of y = 5 tan 5x is

{x  5x = π/2 + nπ}

or {x  x = π/10 + nπ/5}. From y  = 25 sec2 5x we have

y  = 25(1 + tan2 5x) = 25 + 25 tan2 5x = 25 + y 2 .

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−π/10, π/10). Another
interval is (π/10, 3π/10), and so on.

 
17. The domain of the function is {x  4 − x2 = 0} or {x  x = −2 and x = 2}. From
y  = 2x/(4 − x2 )2 we have
 2
 1
y = 2x = 2xy 2 .
4 − x2

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−2, 2). Other intervals
are (−∞, −2) and (2, ∞).


18. The function is y = 1/ 1 − sin x , whose domain is obtained from 1 − sin x = 0 or sin x = 1.

Thus, the domain is {x  x = π/2 + 2nπ}. From y  = − 12 (1 − sin x)−3/2 (− cos x) we have

2y  = (1 − sin x)−3/2 cos x = [(1 − sin x)−1/2 ]3 cos x = y 3 cos x.

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (π/2, 5π/2). Another
one is (5π/2, 9π/2), and so on.

Exponentiating both sides of the implicit solution we obtain

Solving et − 2 = 0 we get t = ln 2. Thus, the solution is defined on (−∞, ln 2) or on (ln 2, ∞).


The graph of the solution defined on (−∞, ln 2) is dashed, and the graph of the solution
defined on (ln 2, ∞) is solid.

Thus, two explicit solutions are y1 = x2 + x4 + 1 and

y2 = x2 − x4 + 1 . Both solutions are defined on (−∞, ∞).
The graph of y1 (x) is solid and the graph of y2 is dashed.

29. From
−x2 , x < 0
y=
x2 , x≥0
we obtain
−2x, x<0
y =
2x, x≥0
so that xy  − 2y = 0.

30. The function y(x) is not continuous at x = 0 since lim y(x) = 5 and lim y(x) = −5. Thus,
x→0− x→0+
y  (x) does not exist at x = 0.

31. Substitute the function y = emx into the equation y  + 2y = 0 to get


(emx ) + 2(emx ) = 0

memx + 2emx = 0

emx (m + 2) = 0
Now since emx > 0 for all values of x, we must have m = −2 and so y = e−2x is a solution.
6 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

32. Substitute the function y = emx into the equation 5y  − 2y = 0 to get

5(emx ) − 2(emx ) = 0

5memx − 2emx = 0

emx (5m − 2) = 0

Now since emx > 0 for all values of x, we must have m = 2/5 and so y = e2x/5 is a solution.

33. Substitute the function y = emx into the equation y  − 5y  + 6y = 0 to get

(emx ) − 5(emx ) + 6(emx ) = 0

m2 emx − 5memx + 6emx = 0

emx (m2 − 5m + 6) = 0

emx (m − 2)(m − 3) = 0

Now since emx > 0 for all values of x, we must have m = 2 or m = 3 therefore y = e2x and
y = e3x are solutions.

34. Substitute the function y = emx into the equation 2y  + 7y  − 4y = 0 to get

2(emx ) + 7(emx ) − 4(emx ) = 0

2m2 emx + 7memx − 4emx = 0

emx (2m2 + 7m − 4) = 0

emx (m + 4)(2m − 1) = 0

Now since emx > 0 for all values of x , we must have m = −4 or m = 1/2 therefore y = e−4x
and y = ex/2 are solutions.

35. Substitute the function y = xm into the equation xy  + 2y  = 0 to get

x · (xm ) + 2(xm ) = 0

x · m(m − 1)xm−2 + 2mxm−1 = 0

(m2 − m)xm−1 + 2mxm−1 = 0

xm−1 [m2 + m] = 0

xm−1 [m(m + 1)] = 0

The last line implies that m = 0 or m = −1 therefore y = x0 = 1 and y = x−1 are solutions.
1.1 Definitions and Terminology 7

36. Substitute the function y = xm into the equation x2 y  − 7xy  + 15y = 0 to get

x2 · (xm ) − 7x · (xm ) + 15(xm ) = 0

x2 · m(m − 1)xm−2 − 7x · mxm−1 + 15xm = 0

(m2 − m)xm − 7mxm + 15xm = 0

xm [m2 − 8m + 15] = 0

xm [(m − 3)(m − 5)] = 0

The last line implies that m = 3 or m = 5 therefore y = x3 and y = x5 are solutions.

In Problems 37–40, we substitute y = c into the differential equations and use y  = 0 and y  = 0

37. Solving 5c = 10 we see that y = 2 is a constant solution.

38. Solving c2 + 2c − 3 = (c + 3)(c − 1) = 0 we see that y = −3 and y = 1 are constant solutions.

39. Since 1/(c − 1) = 0 has no solutions, the differential equation has no constant solutions.

40. Solving 6c = 10 we see that y = 5/3 is a constant solution.

41. From x = e−2t + 3e6t and y = −e−2t + 5e6t we obtain

dx dy

Then

8 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

43. (y  )2 + 1 = 0 has no real solutions because (y  )2 + 1 is positive for all differentiable functions
y = φ(x).

44. The only solution of (y  )2 + y 2 = 0 is y = 0, since if y = 0, y 2 > 0 and (y  )2 + y 2 ≥ y 2 > 0.

45. The first derivative of f (x) = ex is ex . The first derivative of f (x) = ekx is kekx . The
differential equations are y  = y and y  = ky, respectively.

46. Any function of the form y = cex or y = ce−x is its own second derivative. The corresponding
differential equation is y  − y = 0. Functions of the form y = c sin x or y = c cos x have second
derivatives that are the negatives of themselves. The differential equation is y  + y = 0.
  √
47. We first note that 1 − y 2 = 1 − sin2 x = cos2 x = | cos x|. This prompts us to consider
values of x for which cos x < 0, such as x = π. In this case
 
dy  d 
 
 = (sin x) = cos xx=π = cos π = −1,
dx  dx 
x=π x=π

but
  √
1 − y 2 |x=π = 1 − sin2 π = 1 = 1.

Thus, y = sin x will only be a solution of y  = 1 − y 2 when cos x > 0. An interval of
definition is then (−π/2, π/2). Other intervals are (3π/2, 5π/2), (7π/2, 9π/2), and so on.

48. Since the first and second derivatives of sin t and cos t involve sin t and cos t, it is plausible that
a linear combination of these functions, A sin t + B cos t, could be a solution of the differential
equation. Using y  = A cos t − B sin t and y  = −A sin t − B cos t and substituting into the
differential equation we get

y  + 2y  + 4y = −A sin t − B cos t + 2A cos t − 2B sin t + 4A sin t + 4B cos t

= (3A − 2B) sin t + (2A + 3B) cos t = 5 sin t

Thus 3A − 2B = 5 and 2A + 3B = 0. Solving these simultaneous equations we find A = 15


13
and B = − 10
13 . A particular solution is y = 13 sin t − 13 cos t.

49. One solution is given by the upper portion of the graph with domain approximately (0, 2.6).
The other solution is given by the lower portion of the graph, also with domain approximately
(0, 2.6).

50. One solution, with domain approximately (−∞, 1.6) is the portion of the graph in the second
quadrant together with the lower part of the graph in the first quadrant. A second solution,
with domain approximately (0, 1.6) is the upper part of the graph in the first quadrant. The
third solution, with domain (0, ∞), is the part of the graph in the fourth quadrant.

y = = .
2xy 3 − x4 x(2y 3 − x3 )

52. A tangent line will be vertical where y  is undefined, or in this case, where x(2y 3 − x3 ) = 0.
This gives x = 0 or 2y 3 = x3 . Substituting y 3 = x3 /2 into x3 + y 3 = 3xy we get

Thus, there are vertical tangent lines at x = 0 and x = 22/3 , or at (0, 0) and (22/3 , 21/3 ).
Since 22/3 ≈ 1.59, the estimates of the domains in Problem 50 were close.

53. The derivatives of the functions are φ1 (x) = −x/ 25 − x2 and φ2 (x) = x/ 25 − x2 , neither
of which is defined at x = ±5.

54. To determine if a solution curve passes through (0, 3) we let t = 0 and P = 3 in the equation
P = c1 et /(1 + c1 et ). This gives 3 = c1 /(1 + c1 ) or c1 = − 32 . Thus, the solution curve

(−3/2)et −3et
P = =
1 − (3/2)et 2 − 3et

passes through the point (0, 3). Similarly, letting t = 0 and P = 1 in the equation for the
one-parameter family of solutions gives 1 = c1 /(1 + c1 ) or c1 = 1 + c1 . Since this equation
has no solution, no solution curve passes through (0, 1).

55. For the first-order differential equation integrate f (x). For the second-order differential equa-

56. Solving for y  using the quadratic formula we obtain the two differential equations

y = 2 + 2 1 + 3x6 and y  = 2 − 2 1 + 3x6 ,

so the differential equation cannot be put in the form dy/dx = f (x, y).
10 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

57. The differential equation yy  − xy = 0 has normal form dy/dx = x. These are not equivalent
because y = 0 is a solution of the first differential equation but not a solution of the second.

58. Differentiating we get y  = c1 + 2c2 x and y  = 2c2 . Then c2 = y  /2 and c1 = y  − xy  , so


 
  y  1
y = y  − xy  x + x2 = xy  − x2 y 
2 2

and the differential equation is x2 y  − 2xy  + 2y = 0.

59. (a) Since e−x is positive for all values of x, dy/dx > 0 for all x, and a solution, y(x), of the
2

differential equation must be increasing on any interval.

dy dy

2 2
(b) lim
x→−∞ dx x→−∞ x→∞ dx x→∞
x approaches −∞ and ∞, the solution curve has horizontal asymptotes to the left and
to the right.

(c) To test concavity we consider the second derivative

Since the second derivative is positive for x < 0 and negative for x > 0, the solution
curve is concave up on (−∞, 0) and concave down on (0, ∞).

(d)

60. (a) The derivative of a constant solution y = c is 0, so solving 5 − c = 0 we see that c = 5


and so y = 5 is a constant solution.

(b) A solution is increasing where dy/dx = 5 − y > 0 or y < 5. A solution is decreasing


where dy/dx = 5 − y < 0 or y > 5.

61. (a) The derivative of a constant solution is 0, so solving y(a − by) = 0 we see that y = 0 and
y = a/b are constant solutions.

(b) A solution is increasing where dy/dx = y(a − by) = by(a/b − y) > 0 or 0 < y < a/b. A
solution is decreasing where dy/dx = by(a/b − y) < 0 or y < 0 or y > a/b.
1.1 Definitions and Terminology 11

(c) Using implicit differentiation we compute

d2 y

dx2

Thus d2 y/dx2 = 0 when y = a/2b. Since d2 y/dx2 > 0 for 0 < y < a/2b and d2 y/dx2 < 0
for a/2b < y < a/b, the graph of y = φ(x) has a point of inflection at y = a/2b.

62. (a) If y = c is a constant solution then y  = 0, but c2 + 4 is never 0 for any real value of c.

(b) Since y  = y 2 + 4 > 0 for all x where a solution y = φ(x) is defined, any solution must
be increasing on any interval on which it is defined. Thus it cannot have any relative
extrema.

(c) Using implicit differentiation we compute d2 y/dx2 = 2yy  = 2y(y 2 + 4). Setting
d2 y/dx2 = 0 we see that y = 0 corresponds to the only possible point of inflection.
Since d2 y/dx2 < 0 for y < 0 and d2 y/dx2 > 0 for y > 0, there is a point of inflection
where y = 0.

1.2 Initial-Value Problems

1. Solving −1/3 = 1/(1 + c1 ) we get c1 = −4. The solution is y = 1/(1 − 4e−x ).

2. Solving 2 = 1/(1 + c1 e) we get c1 = −(1/2)e−1 . The solution is y = 2/(2 − e−(x+1) ) .

3. Letting x = 2 and solving 1/3 = 1/(4 + c) we get c = −1. The solution is y = 1/(x2 − 1).
This solution is defined on the interval (1, ∞).

4. Letting x = −2 and solving 1/2 = 1/(4 + c) we get c = −2. The solution is y = 1/(x2 − 2).

This solution is defined on the interval (−∞, − 2 ).

5. Letting x = 0 and solving 1 = 1/c we get c = 1. The solution is y = 1/(x2 + 1). This solution
is defined on the interval (−∞, ∞).

6. Letting x = 1/2 and solving −4 = 1/(1/4 + c) we get c = −1/2. The solution is y =


√ √
1/(x2 − 1/2) = 2/(2x2 − 1). This solution is defined on the interval (−1/ 2 , 1/ 2 ).

In Problems 7–10, we use x = c1 cos t + c2 sin t and x = −c1 sin t + c2 cos t to obtain a system of
two equations in the two unknowns c1 and c2 .
1.2 Initial-Value Problems 13

7. From the initial conditions we obtain the system

c1 = −1c2 = 8

The solution of the initial-value problem is x = − cos t + 8 sin t.

8. From the initial conditions we obtain the system

Solving, we find c1 = 3/4 and c2 = 1/4. The solution of the initial-value problem is

Solving, we find c1 = −1 and c2 = 3. The solution of the initial-value problem is x =
− cos t + 3 sin t.

In Problems 11–14, we use y = c1 ex + c2 e−x and y  = c1 ex − c2 e−x to obtain a system of two


equations in the two unknowns c1 and c2 .
11. From the initial conditions we obtain

c1 + c 2 = 1

c1 − c2 = 2.

Solving, we find c1 = 3

ec1 − e−1 c2 = e.

Solving, we find c1 = 1

y = ex − e2 e−x = ex − e2−x .

13. From the initial conditions we obtain

e−1 c1 + ec2 = 5

e−1 c1 − ec2 = −5.

Solving, we find c1 = 0 and c2 = 5e−1 . The solution of the initial-value problem is y =


5e−1 e−x = 5e−1−x .

14. From the initial conditions we obtain

c1 + c2 = 0

c1 − c2 = 0.

Solving, we find c1 = c2 = 0. The solution of the initial-value problem is y = 0.

15. Two solutions are y = 0 and y = x3 .

16. Two solutions are y = 0 and y = x2 . (Also, any constant multiple of x2 is a solution.)

∂f 2
17. For f (x, y) = y 2/3 we have = y −1/3 . Thus, the differential equation will have a unique
∂y 3
solution in any rectangular region of the plane where y = 0.
√ 1

18. For f (x, y) = xy we have ∂f /∂y = 2 x/y . Thus, the differential equation will have a
unique solution in any region where x > 0 and y > 0 or where x < 0 and y < 0.

y ∂f 1
19. For f (x, y) = we have = . Thus, the differential equation will have a unique solution
x ∂y x
in any region where x = 0.

∂f
20. For f (x, y) = x + y we have = 1. Thus, the differential equation will have a unique
∂y
solution in the entire plane.

21. For f (x, y) = x2 /(4 − y 2 ) we have ∂f /∂y = 2x2 y/(4 − y 2 )2 . Thus the differential equation
will have a unique solution in any region where y < −2, −2 < y < 2, or y > 2.

x2 ∂f −3x2 y 2
22. For f (x, y) = we have = . Thus, the differential equation will have a
1+y 3 ∂y (1 + y 3 )2
unique solution in any region where y = −1.

y2 ∂f 2x2 y
23. For f (x, y) = we have = . Thus, the differential equation will have a
x2 +y 2 ∂y (x2 + y 2 )2
unique solution in any region not containing (0, 0).
1.2 Initial-Value Problems 15

24. For f (x, y) = (y + x)/(y − x) we have ∂f /∂y = −2x/(y − x)2 . Thus the differential equation
will have a unique solution in any region where y < x or where y > x.
 
In Problems 25–28, we identify f (x, y) = y 2 − 9 and ∂f /∂y = y/ y 2 − 9. We see that f and
∂f /∂y are both continuous in the regions of the plane determined by y < −3 and y > 3 with no
restrictions on x.
25. Since 4 > 3, (1, 4) is in the region defined by y > 3 and the differential equation has a unique
solution through (1, 4).

26. Since (5, 3) is not in either of the regions defined by y < −3 or y > 3, there is no guarantee
of a unique solution through (5, 3).

27. Since (2, −3) is not in either of the regions defined by y < −3 or y > 3, there is no guarantee
of a unique solution through (2, −3).

28. Since (−1, 1) is not in either of the regions defined by y < −3 or y > 3, there is no guarantee
of a unique solution through (−1, 1).

29. (a) A one-parameter family of solutions is y = cx. Since y  = c, xy  = xc = y and y(0) =


c · 0 = 0.

(b) Writing the equation in the form y  = y/x, we see that R cannot contain any point on the
y-axis. Thus, any rectangular region disjoint from the y-axis and containing (x0 , y0 ) will
determine an interval around x0 and a unique solution through (x0 , y0 ). Since x0 = 0 in
part (a), we are not guaranteed a unique solution through (0, 0).

(c) The piecewise-defined function which satisfies y(0) = 0 is not a solution since it is not
differentiable at x = 0.
d
30. (a) Since tan (x + c) = sec2 (x + c) = 1+tan2 (x + c), we see that y = tan (x + c) satisfies
dx
the differential equation.

(b) Solving y(0) = tan c = 0 we obtain c = 0 and y = tan x. Since tan x is discontinuous at
x = ±π/2, the solution is not defined on (−2, 2) because it contains ±π/2.

(c) The largest interval on which the solution can exist is (−π/2, π/2).

d 1  1 1
31. (a) Since − = = y 2 , we see that y = − is a solution of the differ-
dx x+c (x + c)2 x+c
ential equation.

(b) Solving y(0) = −1/c = 1 we obtain c = −1 and y = 1/(1−x). Solving y(0) = −1/c = −1
we obtain c = 1 and y = −1/(1+x). Being sure to include x = 0, we see that the interval
of existence of y = 1/(1 − x) is (−∞, 1), while the interval of existence of y = −1/(1 + x)
is (−1, ∞).
16 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

(c) By inspection we see that y = 0 is a solution on (−∞, ∞).

32. (a) Applying y(1) = 1 to y = −1/ (x + c) gives

Thus c = −2 and

(b) Applying y(3) = −1 to y = −1/ (x + c) gives

(c) No, they are not the same solution. The interval I of definition for the solution in part
(a) is (−∞, 2); whereas the interval I of definition for the solution in part (b) is (2, ∞).
See the figure.

33. (a) Differentiating 3x2 − y 2 = c we get 6x − 2yy  = 0 or yy  = 3x.

(b) Solving 3x2 − y 2 = 3 for y we get


y

1.2 Initial-Value Problems 17

√ √
(b) Setting c = 0 we have y = 3x and y = − 3x, both defined on (−∞, ∞).

In Problems 35–38, we consider the points on the graphs with x-coordinates x0 = −1, x0 = 0,
and x0 = 1. The slopes of the tangent lines at these points are compared with the slopes given by
y  (x0 ) in (a) through (f).

35. The graph satisfies the conditions in (b) and (f).

36. The graph satisfies the conditions in (e).

37. The graph satisfies the conditions in (c) and (d).

38. The graph satisfies the conditions in (a).

In Problems 39–44 y = c1 cos 2x + c2 sin 2x is a two parameter family of solutions of the second-
order differential equation y  + 4y = 0. In some of the problems we will use the fact that
y  = −2c1 sin 2x + 2c2 cos 2x.

39. From the boundary conditions y(0) = 0 and y = 3 we obtain
4
y(0) = c1 = 0
π π π
y = c1 cos + c2 sin = c2 = 3.
4 2 2
Thus, c1 = 0, c2 = 3, and the solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 3 sin 2x.

40. From the boundary conditions y(0) = 0 and y(π) = 0 we obtain

y(0) = c1 = 0

y(π) = c1 = 0.

Thus, c1 = 0, c2 is unrestricted, and the solution of the boundary-value problem is y =


c2 sin 2x, where c2 is any real number.
 
41. From the boundary conditions y  (0) = 0 and y  π6 = 0 we obtain

y  (0) = 2c2 = 0
π π √
y = −2c1 sin = − 3 c1 = 0.
6 3
Thus, c2 = 0, c1 = 0, and the solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.

42. From the boundary conditions y(0) = 1 and y  (π) = 5 we obtain

y(0) = c1 = 1

y  (π) = 2c2 = 5.

5 5
Thus, c1 = 1, c2 = , and the solution of the boundary-value problem is y = cos 2x + sin 2x.
2 2
18 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

43. From the boundary conditions y(0) = 0 and y(π) = 2 we obtain

y(0) = c1 = 0

y(π) = c1 = 2.

Since 0 = 2, this is not possible and there is no solution.


π
44. From the boundary conditions y  2 = 1 and y  (π) = 0 we obtain

π
y = 2c2 = −1
2
y  (π) = 2c2 = 0.

Since 0 = −1, this is not possible and there is no solution.

45. Integrating y  = 8e2x + 6x we obtain


ˆ
y = (8e2x + 6x) dx = 4e2x + 3x2 + c.

Setting x = 0 and y = 9 we have 9 = 4 + c so c = 5 and y = 4e2x + 3x2 + 5.

46. Integrating y  = 12x − 2 we obtain


ˆ
y  = (12x − 2) dx = 6x2 − 2x + c1 .

Then, integrating y  we obtain


ˆ
y = (6x2 − 2x + c1 ) dx = 2x3 − x2 + c1 x + c2 .

At x = 1 the y-coordinate of the point of tangency is y = −1 + 5 = 4. This gives the initial


condition y(1) = 4. The slope of the tangent line at x = 1 is y  (1) = −1. From the initial
conditions we obtain

2 − 1 + c1 + c 2 = 4 or c1 + c 2 = 3

and
6 − 2 + c1 = −1 or c1 = −5.

Thus, c1 = −5 and c2 = 8, so y = 2x3 − x2 − 5x + 8.

47. When x = 0 and y = 12 , y  = −1, so the only plausible solution curve is the one with negative
slope at (0, 12 ), or the red curve.
1.2 Initial-Value Problems 19

because the integrand is positive on the interval of integration. Then from (12) of Section 1.1

This is equivalent to 2 − 3y 2 = 0.
dx2
49. If the solution is tangent to the x-axis at (x0 , 0), then y  = 0 when x = x0 and y = 0.
Substituting these values into y  + 2y = 3x − 6 we get 0 + 0 = 3x0 − 6 or x0 = 2.

50. The theorem guarantees a unique (meaning single) solution through any point. Thus, there
cannot be two distinct solutions through any point.

8. By analogy, with the differential equation modeling the spread of a disease, we assume that
the rate at which the technological innovation is adopted is proportional to the number of
people who have adopted the innovation and also to the number of people, y(t), who have
not yet adopted it. If one person who has adopted the innovation is introduced into the
population, then x + y = n + 1 and

Thus dA/dt = A/100. The initial amount is A(0) = 25.

10. The rate at which salt is entering the tank is

Rin = (10 L/min) · (0.25 kg/L) = 2.5 kg/min.


1.3 Differential Equations as Mathematical Models 21

Since the solution is pumped out at a slower rate, it is accumulating at the rate of (10 −
7.5)L/min = 2.5 L/min. After t minutes there are 1000 + 2.5t gallons of brine in the tank.
The rate at which salt is leaving is
 
A 7.5A
Rout = (7.5 L/min) · kg/L = kg/min.

The differential equation is

dt 1000 + 2.5t

11. The rate at which salt is entering the tank is

Rin = (10 L/min) · (0.25 kg/L) = 2.5 kg/min.

Since the tank loses liquid at the net rate of

10 L/min − 12 L/min = −2 L/min,

after t minutes the number of liters of brine in the tank is 1000 − 2t liters. Thus the rate at
which salt is leaving is
 
A 12A 6A
Rout = kg/L · (12 L/min) = kg/min = kg/min.

The differential equation is

12. The rate at which salt is entering the tank is

Rin = (cin kg/L) · (rin L/min) = cin rin kg/min.

Now let A(t) denote the number of kilograms of salt and N (t) the number of liters of brine
in the tank at time t. The concentration of salt in the tank as well as in the outflow is
c(t) = x(t)/N (t). But the number of liters of brine in the tank remains steady, is increased,
or is decreased depending on whether rin = rout , rin > rout , or rin < rout . In any case, the
number of liters of brine in the tank at time t is N (t) = N0 + (rin − rout )t. The output rate
of salt is then

14. The volume of water in the tank at time t is V = 13 πr2 h where r is the radius of the tank
at height h. From the figure in the text we see that r/h = 3/6 so that r = 0.5h and
V = 13 π (0.5h)2 h = 12

18. Since the barrel in Figure 1.3.17(b) in the text is submerged an additional y feet below
its equilibrium position the number of cubic feet in the additional submerged portion is
the volume of the circular cylinder: π×(radius)2 ×height or π(s/2)2 y. Then we have from
Archimedes’ principle

upward force of water on barrel = weight of water displaced

= (9810)π(s/2)2 y = 2452.5πs2 y.

It then follows from Newton’s second law that

where g = 9.8 and w is the weight of the barrel in pounds.

20. From Problem 19, without a damping force, the differential equation is m d2 x/dt2 = −kx.
With a damping force proportional to velocity, the differential equation becomes

21. As the rocket climbs (in the positive direction), it spends its amount of fuel and therefore the
mass of the fuel changes with time. The air resistance acts in the opposite direction of the
motion and the upward thrust R works in the same direction. Using Newton’s second law we
get
d
(mv) = −mg − kv + R
dt
Now because the mass is variable, we must use the product rule to expand the left side of the
equation. Doing so gives us the following:

d
(mv) = −mg − kv + R

v× +m× = −mg − kv + R

The last line is the differential equation we wanted to find.

22. (a) Since the mass of the rocket is m(t) = mp + mv + mf (t), take the time rate-of-change
and get, by straight-forward calculation,

d d d
m(t) = (mp + mv + mf (t)) = 0 + 0 + mf (t) = mf (t)
dt dt dt
Therefore the rate of change of the mass of the rocket is the same as the rate of change
of the mass of the fuel which is what we wanted to show.

(b) The fuel is decreasing at the constant rate of λ and so from part (a) we have

m(t) = −λt + c
24 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Using the given condition to solve for c, m(0) = 0 + c = m0 and so m(t) = −λt + m0 .

(c) From part (b) we have that dt d


mf (t) = −λ and so by integrating this result we get
mf (t) = −λt + c. Now at time t = 0, mf (0) = 0 + c = c therefore mf (t) = −λt + mf (0) .
At some later time tb we then have mf (tb ) = −λtb + mf (0) = 0 and solving this equation
for that time we get tb = mf (0)/λ which is what we wanted to show.

23. From g = k/R2 we find k = gR2 . Using a = d2 r/dt2 and the fact that the positive direction
is upward we get

24. The gravitational force on m is F = −kMr m/r2 . Since Mr = 4πδr3 /3 and M = 4πδR3 /3 we
have Mr = r3 M/R3 and

28. Consider the right triangle fromed by the waterskier (P ),


the boat (B), and the point on the x-axis directly below
the waterskier. Using Pythagorean Theorem we have that

the base of the triangle on the x-axis has length a2 − y 2 .
Therefore the slope of the line tangent to curve C is

y
y = −
a2 − y2

Notice that the sign of the derivative is negative because as the boat proceeds along the
positive x-axis, the y-coordinate decreases.

29. We see from the figure that 2θ + α = π. Thus


y
y 2 tan θ

−x 1 − tan2 θ
Since the slope of the tangent line is y  = tan θ we have
y/x = 2y  [1−(y  )2 ] or y−y(y  )2 = 2xy  , which is the quadratic

equation y(y  )2 + 2xy  − y = 0 in y  . Using the quadratic (x, y)

Since dy/dx > 0, the differential equation is

30. The differential equation is dP/dt = kP , so from Problem 41 in Exercises 1.1, a one-parameter
family of solutions is P = cekt .

31. The differential equation in (3) is dT /dt = k(T − Tm ). When the body is cooling, T > Tm ,
so T − Tm > 0. Since T is decreasing, dT /dt < 0 and k < 0. When the body is warming,
T < Tm , so T − Tm < 0. Since T is increasing, dT /dt > 0 and k < 0.

32. The differential equation in (8) is dA/dt = 2.5 − A/100. If A(t) attains a maximum, then
dA/dt = 0 at this time and A = 250. If A(t) continues to increase without reaching a
maximum, then A (t) > 0 for t > 0 and A cannot exceed 250. In this case, if A (t) approaches
0 as t increases to infinity, we see that A(t) approaches 250 as t increases to infinity.

33. This differential equation could describe a population that undergoes periodic fluctuations.
26 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

34. (a) As shown in Figure 1.3.23(a) in the text, the resultant of the reaction force of magnitude
F and the weight of magnitude mg of the particle is the centripetal force of magnitude
mω 2 x. The centripetal force points to the center of the circle of radius x on which the
particle rotates about the y-axis. Comparing parts of similar triangles gives

F cos θ = mg and F sin θ = mω 2 x.

(b) Using the equations in part (a) we find

F sin θ mω 2 x ω2 x dy ω2 x
tan θ = = = or = .

35. From Problem 23, d2 r/dt2 = −gR2 /r2 . Since R is a constant, if r = R + s, then d2 r/dt2 =
d2 s/dt2 and, using a Taylor series, we get

d2 s R2 2gs
= −g = −gR2 (R + s)−2 ≈ −gR2 [R−2 − 2sR−3 + · · · ] = −g + + ··· .
dt2 (R + s)2 R

Thus, for R much larger than s, the differential equation is approximated by d2 s/dt2 = −g.

dm dV d  4 3 dr  dr

dt dt dt 3 dt dt
If dr/dt is a constant, then dm/dt = kS where ρ dr/dt = k or dr/dt = k/ρ. Since the
radius is decreasing, k < 0. Solving dr/dt = k/ρ we get r = (k/ρ)t + c0 . Since r(0) = r0 ,
c0 = r0 and r = kt/ρ + r0 .

37. We assume that the plow clears snow at a constant rate of k cubic kilometers per hour. Let
t be the time in hours after noon, x(t) the depth in miles of the snow at time t, and y(t)
the distance the plow has moved in t hours. Then dy/dt is the velocity of the plow and the
assumption gives
dy
wx = k,
dt
where w is the width of the plow. Each side of this equation simply represents the volume
of snow plowed in one hour. Now let t0 be the number of hours before noon when it started

snowing and let s be the constant rate in kilometers per hour at which x increases. Then for
t > −t0 , x = s(t + t0 ). The differential equation then becomes

dy k 1

dt ws t + t0

Integrating, we obtain
k
y= [ ln(t + t0 ) + c ]
ws
where c is a constant. Now when t = 0, y = 0 so c = − ln t0 and
 
k t
y= ln 1 + .
ws t0

Finally, from the fact that when t = 1, y = 2 and when t = 2, y = 3, we obtain


   
2 2 1 3
1+ = 1+ .
t0 t0

Expanding and simplifying gives t20 + t0 − 1 = 0. Since t0 > 0, we find t0 ≈ 0.618 hours ≈ 37
minutes. Thus it started snowing at about 11:23 in the morning.

38. At time t, when the population is 2 million cells, the differential equation P  (t) = 0.15P (t)
gives the rate of increase at time t. Thus, when P (t) = 2 (million cells), the rate of increase
is P  (t) = 0.15(2) = 0.3 million cells per hour or 300,000 cells per hour.

39. Setting A (t) = −0.002 and solving A (t) = −0.0004332A(t) for A(t), we obtain

15. The slope of the tangent line at (x, y) is y  , so the differential equation is y  = x2 + y 2 .

16. The rate at which the slope changes is dy  /dx = y  , so the differential equation is y  = −y 
or y  + y  = 0.

17. (a) The domain is all real numbers.


Chapter 1 in Review 29

(b) Since y  = 2/3x1/3 , the solution y = x2/3 is undefined at x = 0. This function is a


solution of the differential equation on (−∞, 0) and also on (0, ∞).

18. (a) Differentiating y 2 − 2y = x2 − x + c we obtain 2yy  − 2y  = 2x − 1 or (2y − 2)y  = 2x − 1.

(b) Setting x = 0 and y = 1 in the solution we have 1 − 2 = 0 − 0 + c or c = −1. Thus, a


solution of the initial-value problem is y 2 − 2y = x2 − x − 1.

(c) Solving the equation y 2 − 2y − (x2 − x − 1) = 0 by the quadratic formula we get


 √ 
y = (2 ± 4 + 4(x2 − x − 1) )/2 = 1 ± x2 − x = 1 ± x(x − 1) . Since x(x − 1) ≥ 0
 
for x ≤ 0 or x ≥ 1, we see that neither y = 1 + x(x − 1) nor y = 1 − x(x − 1) is
differentiable at x = 0. Thus, both functions are solutions of the differential equation,
but neither is a solution of the initial-value problem.

19. Setting x = x0 and y = 1 in y = −2/x + x, we get

2
1=− + x0 or x20 − x0 − 2 = (x0 − 2)(x0 + 1) = 0.
x0

Thus, x0 = 2 or x0 = −1. Since x = 0 in y = −2/x + x, we see that y = −2/x + x is a


solution of the initial-value problem xy  + y = 2x, y(−1) = 1, on the interval (−∞, 0) because
−1 < 0, and y = −2/x + x is a solution of the initial-value problem xy  + y = 2x, y(2) = 1,
on the interval (0, ∞) because 2 > 0.

20. From the differential equation, y  (1) = 12 +[y(1)]2 = 1+(−1)2 = 2 > 0, so y(x) is increasing in
some neighborhood of x = 1. From y  = 2x+2yy  we have y  (1) = 2(1)+2(−1)(2) = −2 < 0,
so y(x) is concave down in some neighborhood of x = 1.

23. Differentiating y = x sin x + x cos x we get

y  = x cos x + sin x − x sin x + cos x

and

y  = −x sin x + cos x + cos x − x cos x − sin x − sin x

= −x sin x − x cos x + 2 cos x − 2 sin x.

Thus

y  + y = −x sin x − x cos x + 2 cos x − 2 sin x + x sin x + x cos x = 2 cos x − 2 sin x.

An interval of definition for the solution is (−∞, ∞).

Thus

y  + y = −x sin x + sec x − (cos x) ln(cos x) + x sin x + (cos x) ln (cos x) = sec x.

To obtain an interval of definition we note that the domain of ln x is (0, ∞), so we must have
cos x > 0. Thus, an interval of definition is (−π/2, π/2).

25. Differentiating y = sin (ln x) we obtain y  = cos (ln x)/x and y  = −[sin (ln x) + cos (ln x)]/x2 .

cos (ln x) cos (ln x) cos (ln x)
To obtain an interval of definition, we note that the domain of ln x is (0, ∞), so we must
have cos (ln x) > 0. Since cos x > 0 when −π/2 < x < π/2, we require −π/2 < ln x < π/2.
Since ex is an increasing function, this is equivalent to e−π/2 < x < eπ/2 . Thus, an interval
of definition is (e−π/2 , eπ/2 ). (Much of this problem is more easily done using a computer
algebra system such as Mathematica or Maple.)
In Problems 27 - 30 we use (12) of Section 1.1 and the Product Rule.

34 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Differentiating the last line and remembering to use the quotient rule on the right side leads
to
2yy 
y  = 2
(y + 1)2
 
Now since y  = −1 y 2 + 1 we can write the last equation as
 3
 2y  2y −1 −1
y = 2 y = 2 = 2y = 2y(y  )3
(y + 1)2 (y + 1)2 (y 2 + 1) y2 + 1
which is what we wanted to show.

34. Using implicit differentiation we get

y = exy

y  = exy (y + xy  )

y  = yexy + xexy y 

(1 − xexy )y  = yexy

Now since y = exy , substitute this into the last line to get

(1 − xy)y  = yy

or (1 − xy)y  = y 2 which is what we wanted to show.

In Problem 35–38, y = c1 e3x + c2 e−x − 2x is given as a two-parameter family of solutions of the


second-order differential equation y  − 2y  − 3y = 6x + 4.

35. If y(0) = 0 and y  (0) = 0, then

c1 + c2 = 0
3c1 − c2 − 2 = 0

so c1 = 1
2 and c2 = − 12 . Thus y = 1
2 e3x − half e−x − 2x.

36. If y(0) = 1 and y  (0) = −3, then

c1 + c2 = 1
3c1 − c2 − 2 = −3

so c1 = 0 and c2 = 1. Thus y = e−x − 2x.

37. If y(1) = 4 and y  (1) = −2, then

c1 e3 + c2 e−1 − 2 = 4
3c1 e3 − c2 e−1 − 2 = −2

so c1 = 3
2 e−3 and c2 = 9
2 e. Thus y = 3
2 e3x−3 + 92 e−x+1 − 2x.
Chapter 1 in Review 35

38. If y(−1) = 0 and y  (−1) = 1, then

c1 e−3 + c2 e + 2 = 0
3c1 e−3 − c2 e − 2 = 1

so c1 = 1
4 e3 and c2 = − 94 , e−1 . Thus y = 1
4 e3x+3 − 94 e−x−1 − 2x.

39. From the graph we see that estimates for y0 and y1 are y0 = −3 and y1 = 0.

16. (a) When x = 0 or y = 4, dy/dx = −2 so the lineal elements have slope −2. When y = 3 or
y = 5, dy/dx = x − 2, so the lineal elements at (x, 3) and (x, 5) have slopes x − 2.

(b) At (0, y0 ) the solution curve is headed down. If y → ∞ as x increases, the graph must
eventually turn around and head up, but while heading up it can never cross y = 4
where a tangent line to a solution curve must have slope −2. Thus, y cannot approach
∞ as x approaches ∞.

y = 1/x. In Problem 4 the nullclines are (sin x) cos y = 0 or x = nπ and y = π/2 + nπ,
where n is an integer. The graphs on the next page show the nullclines for the equations

(b) An autonomous first-order differential equation has the form y  = f (y). Nullclines have
the form y = c where f (c) = 0. These are the graphs of the equilibrium solutions of the
differential equation.

19. Writing the differential equation in the form dy/dx = y(1 − y)(1 + y) we see that
critical points are y = −1, y = 0, and y = 1. The phase portrait is shown at the

21. Solving y 2 − 3y = y(y − 3) = 0 we obtain the critical points 0 and 3. From the
phase portrait we see that 0 is asymptotically stable (attractor) and 3 is unstable
(repeller). 3

22. Solving y 2 − y 3 = y 2 (1 − y) = 0 we obtain the critical points 0 and 1. From the phase
portrait we see that 1 is asymptotically stable (attractor) and 0 is semi-stable.

23. Solving (y − 2)4 = 0 we obtain the critical point 2. From the phase portrait we see

28. Solving yey − 9y = y(ey − 9) = 0 (since ey is always positive) we obtain the


critical points 0 and ln 9. From the phase portrait we see that 0 is asymptotically 1n 9
stable (attractor) and ln 9 is unstable (repeller).

29. The critical points are 0 and c because the graph of f (y) is 0 at these points. Since f (y) > 0
for y < 0 and y > c, the graph of the solution is increasing on the y-intervals (−∞, 0) and
(c, ∞). Since f (y) < 0 for 0 < y < c, the graph of the solution is decreasing on the y-interval
(0, c).

30. The critical points are approximately at −2, 2, 0.5, and 1.7. Since f (y) > 0 for y < −2.2
and 0.5 < y < 1.7, the graph of the solution is increasing on the y-intervals (−∞, −2.2) and
(0.5, 1.7). Since f (y) < 0 for −2.2 < y < 0.5 and y > 1.7, the graph is decreasing on the
y-interval (−2.2, 0.5) and (1.7, ∞).

This enables us to construct the phase portrait shown at the right. From this portrait we see
that π/2 and −π/2 are unstable (repellers), and 0 is asymptotically stable (attractor).

32. For dy/dx = 0 every real number is a critical point, and hence all critical points are noniso-
lated.

33. Recall that for dy/dx = f (y) we are assuming that f and f  are continuous functions of y
on some interval I. Now suppose that the graph of a nonconstant solution of the differential
equation crosses the line y = c. If the point of intersection is taken as an initial condition
we have two distinct solutions of the initial-value problem. This violates uniqueness, so the

brother coming up. I rang and knocked and kept them talking as long
as possible. Then when they opened the door I slipped away, but I
heard your footsteps and realized that you had got out by the back
way. I heard you run off down the lane with Dangle after you, then
remembering your arrangement about throwing away the tracing, I
climbed over the wall, picked it up and went back to my rooms. The
first thing I did was to photograph it, then I hid it in my color box. I
had scarcely done so when Sime called. He said you had met with
an accident—been caught between two motorcars and knocked
down by one of them—and that you were seriously injured. He said
you were conscious and had given him my address and were calling
for me. I went down to find Blessington driving a car, though I didn’t
know then it was Blessington. As soon as we started Sime held a
chloroformed cloth over my mouth, and I don’t remember much more
till we were on the L’Escaut.”
“But how did Sime find your rooms?”
“Through Susan. Susan told me all about it afterwards. She went
out after James and saw me climbing over the wall with the tracing.
She followed me to my rooms and immediately telephoned to Sime.
When Sime called she was with him, and while I changed my coat
Sime let her into the studio and she hid behind an easel until we
were gone. She searched till she found the tracing and then simply
walked out. The gang had intended to go to Antwerp the following
week in any case, but this business upset their plans and they
decided to start immediately. Dangle went on and arranged for the
L’Escaut to leave some days earlier. The rest of us put up at Ghent
till she was ready to sail.” But little further remains to be told. The few
bars of gold still left on the Silurian were soon raised and the two
ships set sail, reaching Chatham some five days later. All the bullion
theoretically belonged to the Crown, but under the special
circumstances a generous division was made whereby twenty-five
per cent was returned to the finders. As Price refused to accept the
whole amount an amicable agreement was come to, whereby
Cheyne, Joan, and Price each received almost one-third, or
£200,000 apiece. Of the balance of over £20,000, £10,000 was
given to Susan Dangle by Joan’s imperative directions. She said that
Susan was not a bad girl and had turned up trumps during the
trouble on the L’Escaut. £1,000 went to Inspector French—also
Joan’s gift, and the remainder was divided among the officers and
men of the Admiralty salvage boat.
A few days after landing Maxwell Cheyne and Joan Merrill had
occasion to pay a short visit to the church of St. Margaret’s in the
Fields, after which Cheyne whirled his wife away to Devonshire, so
that she might make the acquaintance of his family and see the
country where began that strange series of events which in the
beginning of the story I alluded to as The Cheyne Mystery.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
