Name and ID-number:

Solve the following differential equations, or initial value problems:

1. (20 points)

e3θ (dr + 3rdθ) = 0; r(π/2) = e

2. (20 points)

dy
sin(t) + cos(t)y = cos(t)
dt

3. (20 points)
√
x cos(y)dx + x + 1 sin(y)dy = 0

4. (20 points)
p
( x2 − y 2 + y)dx − xdy = 0

5. (20 points) A tank contains 100 gallons of water. In error 300 pounds of salt are poured
into the tank instead of 200 pounds. To correct this condition, a stopper is removed from
the bottom of the tank allowing 3 gallons of the brine to flow out each minute. At the
same time, 3 gallons of fresh water per minute are pumped into the tank. If the mixture
is kept uniform by constant stirring, how long will it take for the brine to contain the
desired amount of salt?
