Show all your work and write clearly.

NAME:
Your estimated letter grade based on your overall performance so far is:
(1) [Sec. 1.2: 20(a)] Determine for which values of m the function (x) = emx is a solution to
d2
dy
+ 5y = 0.
+
6
dx2
dx
(2) [Sec. 1.2: 28, modified, extended] Consider the IVP
p
dy
= 3 y 1,
dx

y(2) = 1.

(a) Show that the existence and uniqueness theorem we have discussed in class does not guarantee
the existence and uniqueness of a solution of this IVP.
(b) Find two different solutions of the IVP.
(3) [Sec. 2.2: 16] Solve the equation

(x + xy 2 ) dx + ex y dy = 0.

(4) [Sec. 2.3: 19] Find the solution of the IVP

t2

dx
+ 3tx = t4 ln t + 1,
dt

x(1) = 0.

(5) Solve the differential equation

(3x2 y + cos x)dx + x3 dy = 0.
(a) By showing and using the fact that it is an exact equation.
(b) By rewriting it in the form y 0 + P y = Q and using an integrating factor.
