Calculus II

Tutorial #10 6-10 May 2024

Topics:

• Solutions to exact differential equations

• Numerical solutions to differential equations

• True-False Review. Decide if the given statement is True or False, and justify
your answer.

1. There is a unique potential function for an exact differential equation

M (x, y) dx + N (x, y) dy = 0.

2. The solution to an exact differential equation is called a potential function.

3. Be able to apply Euler’s method to approximate the solution to an IVP at a
point near the initial value x0 .

• Problems.

For Problems 1-3, solve the given differential equation.

(1) 2xy dx + (x2 + 1) dy = 0.

(2) (y 2 + cos x) dx + (2xy + sin y) dy = 0.
(3) (y 2 − 2x) dx + 2xy dy = 0.

For Problems 4–5, solve the given initial-value problem.

(4) (3x2 ln x + x2 − y) dx − x dy = 0, y(1) = 5.

(5) 2x2 y 0 + 4xy = 3 sin x, y(2π) = 0.

For Problems 6–7, use Euler’s method with the specified step size to determine the
solution to the given IVP at the specific point.

(6)
y 0 = −x2 y, y(0) = 1, h = 0.2, y(1).
(7)
y 0 = 4y − 1, y(0) = 1, h = 0.05, y(0.5).
