Problem 27
Solve the differential equation by regarding y as the independent variable rather than x.

( x + ye y ) =1
dx
The differential equation does not yet follow the general form given on pg.43. The
dy
derivative term ( ) is differentiating y with respect to x. Since y is the independent
dx
dy
variable, it must be the other way around. Division by , and rearranging terms yields

− x = ye y . This equation follows the form given on pg.43. The integrating factor is

Problem 33
A tank contains 1000 liters (L) of a solution consisting of 100 kg of salt dissolved in
water. Pure water is pumped into the tank at the rate of 5 L/s, and the mixture - kept
uniform by stirring - is pumped out at the same rate. How long will it be until only 10 kg
of salt remains in the tank?

The differential equation is = ri ci − ro co = − =− . The differential equation
dt 1000 200
states that the rate of change of salt (x) is equal to the inflow minus the outflow. Since
there is no inflow of salt (pure water is being pumped in) the rate of change of salt is
dx dt
equal to the outflow. Separating variables yields = − . Integrating both

sides gives x(t).

(a) Her retirement increases by 6% per year of what is in the account, plus 12% of her
yearly salary. In equation form, this becomes ∆A = 0.06 A∆t + 0.12 S∆t . Dividing by
∆t and taking the limit as time goes to infinite gives the differential equation.

Substituting in for S gives

The initial condition of having nothing in the retirement account is used to solve for C.
A(0) = 0 = −360 + C
∴
C = 360
