Topic: Differential equation (First order with constant coefficient and constant term) Course Instructor: (HHn) Q1. Use integration to solve each of the following differential equations subject to the given initial Conditions. a.
dy t 2 3t 5 ; y (0) 1 dt
b.
dy 2t ; y (0) 7 dt
Q2. Solve the differential equation
dy 3 y 180 , when the initial condition is y (0) 40 . dt
Q3. Consider the two-sector model
dY 0.5(C I Y ) dt C 0.7Y 500 I 0.2Y 500
Find an expression for Y (t ) , when Y (0) 15000 . Is the system stable or
unstable? Q4. Consider the market model Q s 3P 1 Q D 2 P 9 dP 0.5(QD QS ) dt
Find expressions for P (t ) , when P (0) 1 . Is the system stable or unstable?
Q5. A simple model of the growth of an economy is based on three assumptions. (1) Savings, S, are proportional to income, Y, so that S Y , ( 0 ) (2) Investment, I, is proportional to the rate of change of Y so that I 0)
(3) Investment and savings are equal so that I S
dY ( dt
Use these assumptions to show that
formula for Y (t ) In terms of Y (0) .
dY
Y . and hence write down a
dt
Q6. Consider the differential equation
dy 2 y 5e 3t dt
(a) Find the complementary function.
(b) By substituting y De 3t into this equation, find particular solution. (c) Use your answers to parts (a) and (b) to write down the general solution and hence find the specific solution that satisfies the initial condition, y(0) = 7. (d) Is the solution in part (c) stable or unstable?
