    Problem 1. Solve the initial value problem
    1
    2y 3y + y = 0, y(0) = 2, y (0) =
    2
    Solution: The characteristic equation is
    1
    2r2 3r + 1 = 0 r1 = 1, r2 =
    2
    So the general solution of the DE is
    y(x) = c1 ex + c2 e 2
    x

    which upon differentiation gives


    1 x
    y (x) = c1 ex + c2 e 2
    2
    To find the unknowns c1 and c2 , we use the initial conditions
    0
    2 = c1 e 0 + c2 e 2
    1 1 0
    = c1 e 0 + c2 e 2
    2 2
    Solving this system gives c1 = 1 and c2 = 3, so the solution of the IVP is

    y = ex + 3e 2
    x

    Problem 2. Find a general solution of the differential equation

    y + 2y + 2y = 0

    Solution: The characteristic equation is

    r2 + 2r + 2 = 0 r1 = 1 + i, r2 = 1 i

    So the general solution of the DE is

    y(x) = c1 ex cos x + c2 ex sin x

    1
    Problem 3. Find an integrating factor and solve the initial value problem

    y dx + (2xy e2y ) dy = 0, y(0) = 1

    Solution: Let M (x, y) = y and N (x, y) = 2xy e2y , then

    My = 1 6= 2y = Nx

    so we need to find some such that (M )y = (N )x .


    N M
    Since xM y = 2y1 y = 2 y1 , which is a function in y only, so = (y) and
     
    d 1
    = 2
    dy y

    which is separable and upon integrations gives = y1 e2y .


    The new exact equation is e2y dx + (2xe2y y1 )dy = 0, which can be solved by finding a function (x, y):

    xe2y + f (y) = xe2y ln |y| + g(x)


    | R {z } | R
    {z }
    = M dx+f (y) = N dy+g(x)
    2y
    (x, y) = xe ln |y| + C

    so the general solution is xe2y ln |y| = D.


    Substituting y(0) = 1 into the result yields D = 0, so the solution of the IVP is

    xe2y ln y = 0

    Note that the absolute sign is dropped as y > 0 in the IC.
