Assignment for Linear Algebra and Differential Equations

1. Use row operations and their determinant properties to find the value of the determinant
of the following matrix.

2 4 6 8
1 2 3 1
3 1 2 4
6 2 10 4

2. Find the value of the following determinant:

1 1 3 2
3 5 2 3
4 1 3 4
6 1 3  2

3. Use Cramer’s rule to find the values of the variables in the system:

a)
2 x  3 y  z 8

 4. Use the Gaussian Elimination to find the determinant of the matrix:

Solve:
dy
1. xy + (1 + x2)dx = 0

dy 2
dx + 3x (y – 1) = 0
2.

dy 2
3. dx = 1 + sin x + sin x

dy x2y
4. =
dx 1 + x2

dy sin x
5. =
dx cos (y + )

6. x –y– x2 – y2 = 0
dx

dy x3 + y3
7. dx = 3xy2

dy x + 2y
8. = –
dx 2x + 3y

dy cos x
9. dx + y cot x = 5e

dy
dx – 2y cot 2x = 1 – 2x cot 2x – 2 csc 2x
10.

dy y 1 1
11. + = sin
dx x 2 2x

dy
12. (x + 1)dx + (2x – 1)y = e–2x

dy 2x + 2y – 2
13. dx = 3x + y – 5

dy x + y + 3
14. dx = x + y – 1

dy 2x + y
15. dx = 2x + y + 1
