1.

(a) Given the differential equation

dy x + y + 1
dx x + y + 3
By using the substitution z x + y + 1, find the solution of the
equation.
[6 marks]
(b) Given that
(2 x 2 y 2 cos 3y) + (2 y 2 2x y + 3:rsin3y) ~ = 0.
Show that the equation is exact. Hence, solve the equation for
y = 0 when x = 1.

(c)

If a body of mass m is projected vertically upward from the

ground, then the motion is governed by the ordinary differential
equation
d2x
rdx
= -m 9 where x is the height of the body from the ground, m g is the
dx
gravitational force exerted on the body, and K is the force due
at
to air resistance. If the body has a mass of 1 kg and the initial
velocity is 10 m/s, find x ( t ) given that K is 1 kg/s and g = 9.8
m/s2. Hence, determine the maximum height attained.
