On First order ODE
(Even Semester 2023-24)

1. Verify (by differentiation and substitution) that y = ce−4x + 0.35 is a solution of


y ′ + 4y = 1.4. If y(0) = 2, find the particular solution.

2. Show (by differentiation and substitution) that y = cx − c2 is a general solution of


(y ′ )2 − xy ′ + y = 0. Show that y = x2 /4 is also a solution of this ODE. And this
solution cannot be obtained from the general solution. Such a solution is called a
singular solution.

Answer: y = x arctan(x4 − 16).

4. Find a general solution of

y ′ = (4x + y + 1)2 , y(0) = 2. (set v = 4x + y + 1)

13. Can two solution curves of the same ODE have a common point in a rectangle in
which the assumptions of Theorem 2 of Section 1.7 of your course textbook are
satisfied? Explain.
Answer: No.

14. When does the IVP xy ′ = y + 3x2 , y(x0 ) = y0 have no solution, precisely one solu-
tion, and more than one solution?

Answer: No solution if x0 = 0, y0 ̸= 0.
One solution if x0 ̸= 0.
Infinitely many solutions if x0 = 0, y0 = 0.
