5. Solve
(−y/x2 + 2 cos 2x) dx + (1/x − 2 sin 2y) dy = 0.
Answer: y/x + sin 2x + cos 2y = c.
6. Solve

9. Show that the sum of a solution of the non-homogeneous linear ODEs ((a) y ′ +
p(x)y = r(x)) and a solution of the homogeneous linear ODEs ((b) y ′ + p(x)y = 0)
is a solution of (a).
10. Apply Picard’s method to calculate y1 , y2 , y3 , y4 for the IVPs given below (i.e., per-
form 4 iterations).
(a) y ′ = 2x − y, y(0) = 1.
(b) y ′ = y 2 , y(0) = 1.

12. Let f (x, y) = y 3 defined on R : |x| ≤ 2; |y| ≤ 2. Does f satisfy Lipschitz condition
in the variable y on R.
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.
