1. Verify that the following functions are solutions of the corresponding differential
equations (a,b,c,are arbitrary constants).
p
(a) y = sin−1 xy, xy 0 + y = y 0 1 − x2 y 2
(b) x2 + y 2 = 1, x + yy 0 = 0
(c) y = ce−x + x2 − 2x, y 0 + y = x2 − 2
(d) y 2 − 2x2 = c, yy 0 = 2x
Z x
x2 2
(e) y=e e−t dt, y 0 = 2xy + 1
0
(f) y = a cos πx + b sin πx, y 00 + π 2 y = 0
(g) y = − sin x + ax2 + bx + c, y 000 = cos x
5. Experiments show that the rate of inversion of cane sugar in dilute solution is
proportional to the concentration y(t) of unaltered sugar. Let the concentration
be 1/100 at t = 0 and 1/300 at t = 4 hours. Find y(t).
7. If the growth rate of the amount of yeast at any time t is proportional to the
amount present at that time and doubles in 1 week, how much yeast can be
expected after 2 weeks? after 4 weeks?
8. If a fossilized tree is claimed to be 4000 years old, what should be its 14 C6
content expressed as a percent of the ratio of 14 C6 to 12 C6 in a living organism?
9. A tank contains 5000 liters of fresh water. Salt water which contains 100 gms
of salt per liter flows into it at the rate of 10 liters per minutes and the mixture
kept uniform by stirring, runs out of the same rate. When will the tank contains
200, 000 gms of salt?
10. Prove that the necessary and sufficient condition for M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0
∂M ∂N
to be exact is = .
∂y ∂x
11. Verify that (y + 1)/x4 is an integrating factor of the differential equation 3(y +
1)dx = 2xdy. Solve it by using this I.F. and otherwise.
12. Test for exactness. If exact solve it. If not use the I.F. Also if initial conditions
are given, find the corresponding particular solution.
