    MATH2065: INTRO TO PDEs

    Semester 2, 2009
    Tutorial Questions (Week 1)
    1. Show that the ordinary differential equation
    dx
    = µx, µ = constant
    dt
    has the general solution
    x = A eµt ,
    where A is a constant.
    Hence solve
    (a) dx/dt = 3x, x = 2 when t = 0.
    (b) dy/dz = −5y, y = 10 when z = 1.
    (c) dx/dt = 4 − 3x, x = 0 when t = 0.[Hint: let X = 4 − 3x]

    2. Find the general solution to each of the following ordinary differential equations (y 0 = dy/dx,
    etc.)
    (a) y0 − 7 y = 0
    (b) y 00 + y 0 − 2 y = 0
    (c) y 00 − 3 y 0 = 0
    (d) y 00 − 4 y = 0
    (e) y 00 + 4 y = 0
    (f) y 00 + 6 y 0 + 9 y = 0
    (g) y 00 − 6 y 0 + 25 y = 0
    (h) † y 000 + 2 y 00 − y 0 − 2 y = 0

    3. Determine the solution to each of the following initial value problems.


    (a) y 0 − 7 y = 0 ; y(0) = 1
    (b) y 00 − 3 y 0 = 0 ; y(0) = 0 , y 0 (0) = 1
    (c) y 00 + 6 y 0 + 9 y = 0 ; y(0) = 0 , y 0 (0) = 1
    (d) y 00 − 6 y 0 + 25 y = 0 ; y(0) = 0 , y 0 (0) = 4

    4. Verify that y1 (t) = t3 and y2 (t) = t3 ln t both satisfy the differential equation
    t2 y 00 − 5 t y 0 + 9 y = 0
    in the domain {t > 0}. Hence, make a guess at the general solution to this second-order
    linear ordinary differential equation.

    5. (a) Write down the definitions for the functions cosh x and sinh x in terms of exponential
    functions. Sketch these functions.
    (b) Consider the expression y(x) = C1 epx + C2 e−px for some constant p, and suppose C1
    and C2 are arbitrary constants. Show that this can be written alternatively as
    y(x) = D1 cosh px + D2 sinh px
    where D1 and D2 are arbitrary constants.
