Evaluation out of 100. Only admissible calculators are allowed.
Time allotted: Three hours.
1. (15) (a) Find the general solution of the differential equation
dy
dx =2y+ 3
4x+ 52
.
You may leave the solution in implicit form.
(b) Solve the initial value problem
xdy
dx +y=ex, y(1) = 2
2. (10) Find the general solution (explicit or implicit) of the equation
(y2cos x−3x2y−2x)dx + (2ysin x−x3+ ln y)dy = 0 .
3. (10) Find the general solution of the equation using an appropriate substitution:
dy
dx = tan2(x+y).
You may leave the solution in implicit form.
4. (10) The Space Shuttle lands in Kennedy Space Center. The spacecraft touches down at t= 0
with a velocity of 100 m/sec. The spacecraft chute is deployed at t= 4 sec. Between touch down
and deployment of chute (0 ≤t≤4), the velocity of the spacecraft V(t) (in m/sec) is governed
by:
dV
dt = 0
and after the deployment of chute by:
dV
dt =−0.002V2
Determine when the spacecraft velocity reaches 20 m/sec.
5. (10) Find the general solution of the following differential equations using the method of unde-
termined coefficients.
(a) y′′ + 6y′+ 8y= sin 3x
(b) y′′ + 10y′+ 25y=ex
