Problem Sheet 1
A student who does not do the homework does not learn Mathematics!
Please let me know of any mistakes/typos. You do NOT have to hand in this HW.

1. In each of the following problems, determine the order of the differential equation:
2
(a) t2 ddt2y + t dy
dt
+ 2y = sin t
dy
(b) dt
+ ty 3 = 0
dy 3
(c) dt3
+ t dy
dt
+ (sin2 t)y = t3

Solution:

(a) Second order


(b) First order
(c) Third order

2. In each of the following problems, verify that each given function is a solution of the differential
equation:
d2 y
(a) dt2
− y = 0; y1 = et
(b) t dy
dt
− y = t2 ; y = 3t + t2

(a) dt2
e = et
d
(b) dt
(3t + t2 ) = 3 + 2t and 3t + 2t2 − 3t − t2 = t2

(et 0 e−s ds + et ) = dtd (et 0 e−s ds) + dtd et = dtd (et ) 0 e−s ds + et dtd ( 0 e−s ds) + dt
e =
2 Rt 2 2 2 2 2 Rt 2 2
2tet 0 e−s ds + et e−t + 2tet = 2tet 0 e−s ds + 1 + 2tet
Substituting into the ODE we get
Z t Z t

3. Which of the following ODEs are first order linear ODEs?

(a) y 0 + cos ty = et
(b) yy 0 = 2t + 1
(c) y 0 + t cos y = 0
(d) t2 y 0 − y = sin t

Solution: (a) and (d)

4. Find the integrating factor and general solution of the following first order linear initial value prob-
lems:

(a) y 0 − 2y = e−t , y(0) = 1


t2 +t
(b) y 0 − 2ty = e , y(0) = 0

Solution:

(a) The integrating factor is µ(t) = e p(t) where p(t) = −2. Therefore the integrating factor is
µ(t) = e−2t .
The solution is Z t
