Assignment #1

(1) State the order of the given ODE. Identify if the equation is linear or not. Verify that the
given function is a solution (c is an arbitrary constant):

(a) y′ = 1 + y 2 ; y = tan( x + c) (b) y′′ + 2 y′ + 10 y = 0; y = 4e − x sin(3x)

(2) Solve the following equations using a suitable method:

(a) y′ + ( x + 2) y 2 = 0 (b) x 3 y′ + 3 yx 2 = 5 sinh (10 x)

(c) xy′ = y +y (d) + 2 xy = 1 + y 2 + x 2

(e) 3 x y 2 y′ = 3 x 4 + y 3 (f) x( x + y ) y′ = y ( x − y )

(i) xy y′ = 2 y 2 + 4 x 2 (j) y′ = ; Let : u = y + 2 x
1 + y + 2x

(3) Test for exactness. If exact, solve it. If not, find a suitable integrating factor first and
then solve it:

⎛ y ⎞ ⎛1 ⎞
(a) ⎜ − 2 + 2 cos(2 x) ⎟ dx + ⎜ − 2 sin(2 y ) ⎟ dy = 0 (b) ( x − y )(dx − dy ) = 0
⎝ x ⎠ ⎝x ⎠

⎛ x⎞ ⎛ x ⎞
(c) ⎜⎜ cos( xy ) + ⎟⎟ dx + ⎜⎜1 + cos( xy ) ⎟⎟ dy = 0
⎝ y⎠ ⎝ y ⎠

(4) Solve the following IVPs:

(a) (cos ωx + ω sin ωx) dx + e x dy = 0; y (0) = 1; ω is some constant
