Diff EQ Cheat Sheet

1) Linear differential equations relate the derivatives of an unknown function to the function itself and have solutions that satisfy the equation for all values of the independent variable on a given interval. Explicit solutions give the dependent variable directly in terms of the independent variable, while implicit solutions define the dependent variable implicitly. 2) Separable differential equations have the property that the derivative of the dependent variable can be written solely in terms of that variable on one side of the equation and solely in terms of the independent variable on the other. 3) Models of heating and cooling processes can be expressed as separable or linear differential equations where the rate of change of temperature is equal to the difference between the heating/cooling rate and the temperature

Pure water means x(0)=0. Use the method for solving linear equations. If the difference between the inflow and the outflow is 6-5=1L/min, V after t min = (100+t)L. Section 4.6: Variation of Parameters For + + = find two linearly independent solutions {1 , 2 } to the homogeneous equation and take = 1 1 + 2 2 . Then use the equations 1 1 + 2 2 = 0 and 1 1 + 2 2 = to determine 1 2 . Substitute these into the expression for to obtain a particular solution. You can use the superposition principle here.

Section 9.4: Linear Systems in Normal Form If you have a set of matrix vectors, if the Wronskian is 0, they are linearly dependent. If now, then linearly independent. The solution set {1 , , } of x=Ax is the fundamental solution set. The Fundamental Matrix has incorporated. To check that the solution set is a fundamental solution set or not, check the Wronskian. If it is -, then linearly dependent so not a fundamental solution set.
