: We rewrite the equation in the following form,
(32? + yoosar) da + (—4y? + sinx) dy =0 05
This is an exact equation because:

‘Thns, we want to find F(x,y) = C such that
Fy = 32" + yoosr , Fy =—4y* + sine
Integrating with respect to 7,
P(e, = [oe + yoosx) dr + g(y) 05
This gives
F(a,y) = 2° + ysine + g(y)
Taking the derivative with respect to ys
F,=sinz+(y)=—4y>+sinz > gy)=—4y® 9.5

tp = (A sin(x) + B cos(x))

uff = (A sin(x) + B cos(sr)) + 26%(A cos(r) — Bsin(x)) + e%(—A sin(x) — B eos(z))
Substitute into DE y — 2y/ + y = e* sin()
26*(A cos(r) — Bsin(r))
— 2e*(A sin(x) + B cos(x)) — 2¢*(A cos(x) — Bsin(x)) 0.5

Grouping by like terms we have;

We obtain B = 0 and A ==, therefore, yp(:r) = —e* sin(x)

(b) Based on the direction field (a), determine how the behaviour of the so-
lutions y for large sr (j.e., as x + +00) depends on different initial values
of yat r= 0.
Solution:
We consider three ranges y>0, y=0, y <0.
For y > 0, based on the direction field, the solutions y(r) tend to the value
y=2as 2-00,
For y = 0, based on the direction field, the solutions y(:r) tend to the value
y=Oasr oo,
For y < 0, based on the direction field, the solutions y(:r) tend to the value
y= —2as 2 00.

Solution: Writing the differential equation as
ay(2)¥' + a9(2) = f(x) I
we soe that ay(2) = Is continous everywhere and has itsynly root at zr = 0
Similarly, ao(r) = is continuous as long as 0< x <1 or 1 ru(a)) = 05
Integrating with respect to 2, gives

Solving for u(r) = 1/y(2), we find the gencral solution:

and solve them:
fal (a) y"=14+0/8

we use the change of variable 4 = v, This gives:

Solution: The DE sry" + x (y')? — y' = 0 is a 2nd-order DE, with dependent

We have a linear first order DE and we can use the method of integrating factor
