1) Consider the following differential equation: 4y''+2y'-2y = 0.

a) For what values of r does the function y = e^(rx) satisfy the eqation?
b) if r1 and r2 are the values of r that you found in part (a), show that every
member of the family of functions y = ae^(r1x)+be^(r2x) is also a solution.

5) A population is modeled by the differential equation given by: dP/dt = 1.9P(1-

P/5600)
a) For what values of P is the population increasing?
b) For what values of P is the population decreasing?
c) What are the equillibrium solutions?

10) a) Use Euler's method with each of the following step sizes
(i) h = 0.4, (ii) h = 0.2, (iii) h = 0.1
to estimate the value of y(0.4), where y is the solution of the initial-value
problem y' = y, y(0) = 1.

b) (another graphical aspect that doesn't show till you start the problem) We know
that the exact solution of the initial-value problem in part (a) is y = 1.1e^x.
Draw, as accurately as you can, the graph of y = 1.1e^x, 0 = x = 0.4 together with
the Euler approximations using the step sizes in part (a). (Your sketches should
resemble Figures 12, 13, and 14. Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to
turn in these sketches.) Use your sketches to decide whether your estimates in part
(a) are underestimates or overestimates.

c) The error in Euler's method is the difference between the exact value and the
approximate value. Find the errors made in part (a) in using Euler's method to
estimate the true value of y(0.4), namely 1.1e^0.4.

11) a) Program a calculator or computer to use Euler's method to compute y(1),

where y(x) is the solution of the given initial-value problem. (Give all answers to
four decimal places.)
dy/dx + 3x^2y = 6x^2, y(0) = 6
with h = 1, h=0.1, h=0.01, h=0.001

b) Verify that y = 2 + 4e^(-x^3) is the exact solution of the differential

equation.

c) c) Find the errors in using Euler's method to compute y(1) with the step sizes
in part (a). (Give all answers to four decimal places.)

12) Solve the differential equation. xy^2y' = x + 10

13) Solve the differential equation. (Use C for any needed constant.)
7 dy/d? = e^y sin^2[theta]/(y sec[theta])

14) Solve the differential equation. (Use C for any needed constant.)
dz/dt + 2e^(t+z) = 0

15)Find the solution of the differential equation that satisfies the given initial
condition.
dy/dx = x/y, y(0) = -5

16) Find an equation of the curve that passes through the point (0, 1) and whose
slope at (x, y) is
19xy.

18)The differential equation below models the temperature of a 92C cup of coffee
in a 18C room, where it is known that the coffee cools at a rate of 1C per minute
when its temperature is 68C. Solve the differential equation to find an expression
for the temperature of the coffee at time t. (Let y be the temperature of the cup
of coffee in C, and let t be the time in minutes, with
t = 0 corresponding to the time when the temperature was 92C.)

dy/dt = -1/50(y - 18)

19)A tank contains 13,000 L of brine with 23 kg of dissolved salt. Pure water
enters the tank at a rate of 130 L/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed and
drains from the tank at the same rate.

a) How much salt is in the tank after t minutes?

b) How much salt is in the tank after 10 minutes?

21) Solve the differential equation

dy/dx + 15x^2y = 30x^2.

22) Solve the differential equation

y' = 10x - y

23) Solve the differential equation

tln(t) dr/dt + r = 9te^t

24) Solve the initial value problem.

t(du/dt) = t^2+3u; t>0, u(6) = 180

25) In a previous section we looked at mixing problems in which the volume of fluid
remained constant and saw that such problems give rise to separable equations. (See
example.) If the rates of flow into and out of the system are different, then the
volume is not constant and the resulting differential equation is linear but not
separable.

A tank contains 25 L of water. A solution with a salt concentration of 0.4 kg/L is

added at a rate of 5 L/min. The solution is kept mixed and is drained from the tank
at a rate of 3 L/min. If y(t) is the amount of salt (in kilograms) after t minutes,
show that y satisfies the differential equation

dy/dt = 2-3y/(25+2t)
Solve this equation and find the concentration after 20 minutes. (Round your answer
to four decimal places.)
