A. For each of the following, classify as an Ordinary Differential Equation (ODE), Partial
Differential Equation (PDE), give the order, the degree, and indicate the dependent and
independent variables. Also indicate whether the equation is linear and non-linear. (5
points each)

B. In each of the following, eliminate the arbitrary constant. (5 points each)

1. y2 = 4ax

2. y = x2 + C1e2x + C2e3x

3. y = C1eaxcosbx + C2eaxsinbx ; a and b are parameters

4. y = Ae 2x + Bxe2x

5. y = 4 + C1e3x

6. y = cx + c2 + 1

C. Obtained the Differential equations relative to the families of curves of the following:

1. Straight lines with slope and x – intercept equal (5 points)

2. Circles with fixed radius, r, and tangent to x – axis (5 points)

3. Straight lines through the origin (5 points)

4. Parabolas with vertex on the y-axis, with axis parallel to the x-axis, and with distance from
the focus to vertex fixed as “a” (10 points)

5. Parabolas with vertex and focus on x axis. (5 points)
