Subject: Math 207 - Differential Equations and Complex Variables

Homework – 1 (Linear First order ODE)


————————————————————————————————————————–
1. Solve the following first order differential equations, Initial value problems (Show the details of the
work):

(a) 2xydx + x2 dy = 0 (i) y 0 + x2 = x2 e3y


(b) (x2 y − 2xy 2 )dx = (x3 − 3x2 y)dy (j) xy 0 + y = y 2 log x
xdy−ydx
(c) xdx + ydy + x2 +y 2 =0 (k) (xy 3 + y)dx + 2(x2 y 2 + x + y 4 )dy = 0
(d) y 0 + y sin x = e cos x (l) y 0 = 2(y − 1) tanh 2x, y(0) = 0
(e) (2 cos y + 4x2 )dx = x sin ydy (m) xy 0 = y + x2 sec(y/x), y(1) = π
(f) y 0 + xy = xy −1 (n) 3y 2 dx + xdy = 0, y(1) = 1/2
(g) 2x tan ydx + sec2 ydy = 0 (o) ex y 0 = 2(x + 1)y 2 , y(0) = 1/6
y
√
(h) y 0 + 3 = 13 (1 − 2x)y 4 (p) 2yy 0 + y 2 sin x = sin x, y(0) = 2

2. Mathematical Modeling (Develop a mathematical model and solve related problems):


(a) (Exponential Growth): If relatively small populations are left undisturbed, then the time
rate of growth is proportional to the population present. If in a culture of yeast the rate of
growth y 0 (t) is proportional to the amount present y(t) at time t, and if y(t) doubles in 1 day,
how much can be expected after 3 days at the same rate of growth? After 1 week?
(b) (Airplane takeoff ): An airplane taking off from a landing field has a run of 2 kilometers. If
the plane starts with a speed of 10 meters/sec, moves with constant acceleration, and makes
the run in 50 sec, with what speed does it take off? What happens if the acceleration is 1.5
meters/sec2 .
(c) (Sugar Inversion): Experiments show that rate of inversion of cane sugar in dilute solution
is proportional to the concentration y(t) of unaltered sugar. Let the concentration at t = 0
and at t = 4 hours. Find y(t).
(d) (Newton’s Law of Cooling): Experiments show that the time rate of change of the tem-
perature T of a body is proportional to the difference between T and the temperature TA
of the surrounding medium. A thermometer, reading 5◦ C , is brought into a room whose
temperature is 22◦ C. One minute later the thermometer reading is 12◦ C. How long does it
take until the reading is practically 22◦ C, say, 21.9◦ C.
(e) (Current): Find the current I(t) in the RC circuit, assuming that E = 100 volts, C = 0.25
farad, R is variable according to R = (200 − t) ohms when 0 ≤ t ≤ 200 sec, R = 0 when
t > 200.
(f) (Current): If a electromotive force of 160 cos 5t is impressed on a series circuit composed of
a 20 Ω resistor and a 10−1 H inductor, then find the steady state and transient current in the
circuit.
(g) (Drug injection) Find and solve the model for drug injection into the bloodstream if, be-
ginning at t = 0, a constant amount A gm/min is injected and the drug is simultaneously
removed at a rate proportional to the amount of the drug present at time t.

∂x and ∂y

R

w = x − y, then show that the integrating factor is F (x, y) = e . Find the integrating factor
and solve (x + xy)dx + (y − xy)dy = 0.
4. Find orthogonal trajectories for the following:
√
(a) y = x+c (c) y = x + ce−x
x2 y2
(b) (x − c)2 + y 2 = c2 (d) a + a−λ =1
