Due Saturday 10th February 2024

1) For the ODE


y ′ = cos2 (x) cos2 (2y),

(a) Find/state all the values of the constant C so that y(x) = C for all x is a constant solution of the
ODE.
(b) Solve the stated ODE as an initial value problem with y(0) = π/8.
(c) For the solution in (b) what is limx→+∞ y(x) and limx→−∞ y(x)?

2) Solve the initial value problem

y ′ + y = (x + 1)e−x , y(1) = e−1 .
x
What is the interval of validity of the solution?

3) Show that the differential equation

(y/x + 6x)dx + (ln(x) − 2)dy = 0, x>0

is exact, and hence find the general solution.

4) Show that the differential equation

ydx + (2xy − e−2y )dy = 0

is not exact. Find an integrating factor to make it exact. Solve it.

5) For the Bernoulli equation


y ′ + y = sin(x)y 3

(a) By making a suitable change of variables find the general solution (as an implicit solution).
(b) Hence, find an explicit solution for the ODE with the initial condition y(0) = −1.

6) By making a suitable change of variable, solve the ODE

(y 2 + x2 + xy)dx − (x2 )dy = 0.

State the solution in explicit form if possible.

7) By making a suitable change of variable, solve the ODE

dy π 
4 cos(4y − x) = sin + x − 4y − sin(4y − x).
dx 2
Rewrite the solution as an explicit solution if you can.
