DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

PRACTICE PROBLEM 1

INSTRUCTIONS: In a clean sheet of bond paper or newsprint, answer the following problem/s.
Write your solution clearly, and encircle or draw a box on your final answer. Don’t forget to
write your name, schedule, and date for today. Take a picture of the whole bond paper or
newsprint and upload or turn it in to the respective assignment on your classwork. Due time
must strictly follow. This practice problem will not be recorded, it will just serve as an
attendance. Still, you’ll need to take a picture of your output and turn it in for you to have an
attendance.

I. For each differential equation, identify the type, dependent and independent
variables, order, and degree.
𝜕2 𝑈 𝜕2 𝑈 𝜕2 𝑈
1.
𝜕𝑥2 + 𝜕𝑦2 +
𝜕𝑧 2
=0
𝑑3 𝑄 2 𝑑2 𝑄 𝑑𝑄 𝑑𝑄
2. ( 3) − 5 ( 2) ( ) + 𝑡 2 ( )3 = 0
𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡 𝑑𝑡

II. Show that the given equation is a solution to the differential equation written
opposite it.
𝑑2 𝑦
1. 𝑦 = 𝐶1 sin 3𝑥 + 𝐶2 cos 3𝑥 + 9𝑦 = 0
𝑑𝑥 2
𝑑2 𝑦 𝑑𝑦
2. (𝑥 − 𝐶1 )2 + 𝑦 2 = 𝐶2 𝑦 𝑑𝑥2 + (𝑑𝑥)2 + 1 = 0
