Tutorial 1 Rule:

That is, differentiate each term irrespective of the other terms. Rule:

Note: Constant coefficients can be brought out the front of the differential operator. Questions: Differentiate with respect to : a) Rule: b)

Questions: Differentiate with respect to : a) Rules: Note: Note: b) c)

Questions: Prove: a) Rule: b)

Questions: Differentiate with respect to : a) Rules: b) c)

Questions: a) Prove the first rule (Note: b) Solve for i) Rule: in the following: ii) iii) (Hint: both sides) ).

That is, integrate each term irrespective of the other terms.

Rule:

Note: Constant coefficients can be brought out the front of an integral. Questions: Integrate the following with respect to : a) Rule: b) c) 0

Note: This rule only applies when Questions:

is to the power of 1.

Integrate the following with respect to : a) Rule: Note: Questions: Integrate the following with respect to : a) b) c) b) c)

Hint for b & c: Multiply the numerator by a constant and divide by this constant in front of the integral to make the fraction equal . Example:

Rules for partial fraction decomposition: Partial fraction decomposition might be needed when you need to integrate a term with multiple factors in the denominator, for example:

The fraction above has two factors in the denominator partial fraction decomposition are:

and

. The rules for

1. Split the fraction into multiple terms, one for each factor of the denominator, where the numerator for each term is an unknown polynomial of order one less than that of its denominator. Following from the current example:

2. Form a common denominator between the split terms. The simplest way to do this is to make the common denominator equal to the individual denominators multiplied together, and then multiply each numerator the other denominators:

3. Now note that, since the denominators are equal, the numerators must also be equal:

4. Now solve for the unknowns introduced in step 1 ( and can usually be achieved by substituting values for solutions for the unknowns:

in this example). This

which result in direct

5. Substitute the results from step 4 back into step 1. Now, for this example, you can write:

Question:

Rules for solving separable differential equations: 1. Is the DE separable? 2. Separate the variables. For example: Pre-separation: 3. Integrate both sides and add C. 4. Get the variable in the numerator of the differential by itself. For example, if the differential is or (same thing just written differently) then get by itself. Post-separation:

5. Solve for C using boundary conditions if given. 6. Substitute the result from 5 into 4. 7. Make sure youve answered the question they might ask you to do something with the solution to the DE. Questions: Do tutorial 1 question 1 (all 6 parts) again first try without looking at the answers, then if you get stuck look at the answers and figure out what they did.
