Sample Paper For Above instruction

1. Find the general solutions to each of the following differential equations. Write answers without imaginary numbers as illustrated in lecture; use sin and cos and cosh and sinh when appropriate.

a. 7y'' + 49y = 0

Characteristic equation: 7r² + 49 = 0 → r² = -7 → r = ±i√7

General solution: y(t) = C₁ cos(√7 t) + C₂ sin(√7 t)

b. 16y'' + 64y = 0

Characteristic equation: 16r² + 64 = 0 → r² = -4 → r = ±2i

General solution: y(t) = D₁ cos(2t) + D₂ sin(2t)

c. y'' + 4y' + 8y = 0

Characteristic equation: r² + 4r + 8 = 0

Discriminant: Δ = 16 - 32 = -16

r = -2 ± i

General solution: y(t) = e^{-2t}(E₁ cos t + E₂ sin t)

d. (3) y'' + 8 y' + 16 y = 0

Characteristic equation: 3r² + 8r + 16 = 0

Discriminant: Δ = 64 - 192 = -128

r = (-8/6) ± i√(128/6)

General solution: y(t) = e^{-(4/3)t}(F₁ cos(√(32/3) t) + F₂ sin(√(32/3) t))

2. Find a differential equation that has the following solutions:

a. y = c₁ + c₂ x + c₃ e^{x}

Solution involves combining solutions of the form: constant, linear, and exponential. The corresponding differential equation is: y''' - y'' = 0

b. y = e^{2x}(c₁ cos x + c₂ sin x)

The differential equation: (D - 2)^2 y = 0

3. For each of the following differential equations, find cy and py, using any method you wish. Then, write the general solution.

a. 2 y'' + y = x

Homogeneous solution: y_h = C₁ cos(√(1/2) x) + C₂ sin(√(1/2) x)

Particular solution: y_p: use method of undetermined coefficients or variation of parameters. One possible particular solution: y_p = A x + B

Full solution: y = y_h + y_p

b. y'' + 4 sin(2x) y = 0

This is a nonhomogeneous ODE; solving exactly involves special functions, but formally: y = y_h, where y_h satisfies the homogeneous equation, and the particular solution depends on the method used.

c. y'' + y = x

Homogeneous: y_h = C cos x + D sin x

Particular: y_p = Px + Q

Full solution: y = y_h + y_p

d. y'' + y = cos x

Homogeneous: y_h = C₁ cos x + C₂ sin x

Particular: y_p = (1/2) x sin x

Full solution: y = y_h + y_p

e. y'' + y = x² e^{2x}

Homogeneous: y_h = C₁ cos x + C₂ sin x

Particular: use variation of parameters or undetermined coefficients; for simplicity, denote as y_p.

4. Two brine tanks are shown and contain lbs of salt at time t.

a. Set up a system of differential equations modeling the amount of salt in each tank at time t.

Let x₁(t) and x₂(t) be the pounds of salt in tanks 1 and 2, respectively.

Rate of salt flow: r = 10 gal/min

Tank 1: inflow from outside (initially 15 lbs), outflow to tank 2.

Tank 2: inflow from tank 1, outflow.

System:

dx₁/dt = ( (initial salt) - (salt outflow from tank 1) ) / volume


dx₂/dt = ( (salt inflow from tank 1) - (salt outflow from tank 2) ) / volume

Specific equations would involve the flow rate and concentrations.

b. Eigenvalues: 0, -13/20; find eigenvectors accordingly.

c. Formulas for x₁(t), x₂(t):  solve system with initial conditions using eigen decomposition.

5. Solve the system x' = A x, with A= [[-1, 4], [0, 0]], x(0)= [1, -1]

Eigenvalues: λ₁ = 0, λ₂ = -1

Eigenvectors: find for each eigenvalue.

Solution involves expressing x(t) as a combination of eigenvectors time the exponential factors.

6. Solve the repeated eigenvalue problem: x' = [[-4, -y], [x, -2y]], y' = x - 2 y

Eigenvalues: found by characteristic polynomial.

Eigenvectors: compute for the repeated eigenvalues.

Solution involves Jordan form or generalized eigenvectors as needed.
