Find the general solution to the given differential equation. How do solutions behave as t? y + 3y = t + e t Using the method of integrating factors, µ(t) = e p(t), and in this DE, p(x) = 3, so µ(t) = e 3t. So y(t) = µ(s)g(s)ds. µ(t) In our case g(s) = t + e t. y = ce 3t + t 3 9 + e t. As t, the solutions are asymptotic to t 3 9 as t gets large. 7. Find the general solution to the given system of equations: x = x Hint: The characteristic polynomial is (λ + )(λ ) =. 3 λ = yields the eigenvector ξ () = 4. For the repeated eigenvalue, we find only one eigenvector, namely ξ () =. Since we cannot find a second linearly independent vector, we know that our third solution will be of the form x (3) = ξ () te t + ηe t = te t + ηe t. 7

Try to identify the function represented by n= a nx n. 8
Math D Final Review Note that when y = n=, this equation is really y + y =. We can solve this using various methods to show that y = ce x. Using series, we first shift our index so that we have [(n + )a n+ + a n ]x n =. n= This forces the recurrence relation a n+ = a n n +. Computing a few terms, we see that in fact Meaning that our solution is y = a n= ( ) n n x n k! a k = ( )k k a k! = a n= ( ) k (x) k k! = a e x.. Determine the longest interval in which this IVP is certain to have a unique solution. Don t try to solve the system. t(t 4)y + 3ty + 4y = ; y(3) = y (3) = This is problem 3..9 from your textbook. Put the equation in standard form, and find any discontinuities of the coefficient functions p(t), q(t), g(t). Then choose the interval where the initial condition lives. This is an application of Theorem 3.. (Existence and Uniqueness Theorem). Recall that standard form is In our case, this becomes y + p(t)y + q(t)y = g(t). y + 4 t 4 y + t(t 4) = t(t 4) There are discontinuities at t = and t = 4. This means that our possible intervals are I = (, ), I = (, 4), and I 3 = (4, ). Note that our initial condition lives in I, so that is our final solution. 3.

After one experiment, the tank contains L of a dye solution with a concentration of g/l. To prepare for the next experiment, the tank is to be rinsed with fresh water flowing in at a rate of L/min, the well-stirred solution flowing out at the same rate. Find the time that will elapse before the concentration of dye in the tank reaches % of its original value. This is.3. from your textbook. To begin with, we decide to let Q(t) measure the amount of dye in the tank, in grams. Note that we started with a concentration of g/l and L of water, so we know Q = Q() = g L = g. L Once we go through the process, we will want to solve for time τ such that Q(τ) = (.) Q() = g. To model the system, we work with the blank rate-in/rate-out model, and fill in the pieces. They key factor in this problem is to notice that the concentration of dye in the exiting water at time t will be the concentration at that, which is the amount at that time divided by the total about of water in the tank. That is, Q(t). Q t g min = rate in g g rate out min ( min concentration in = (flow rate in) entering water ) (flow rate out) dq dt = L min gl L min Q(t)g L = Q(t) g min ( ) concentration in exiting water
Math D Final Review Now we ve come up with a differential equation: dq dt = Q. We solve this, and recover the general solution Q(t) = ce t Plugging in our initial condition Q() =, we see such that our specific solution is = Q() = ce = c Q(t) = e t Now we can attack the real question: for what time τ is Q(τ) =? Which is our final solution. Q(τ) = = e τ. = e τ ln(.) = τ τ = ln(.) 6. Determine the general solution of the system 5 x = 5 x. 5 Hint: The characteristic polynomial of this matrix is (λ 3)(λ 6). You may use this fact without proving it, i.e. you do not need to take the determinant of a 3x3 matrix. This is exactly like the exam problem. The eigenvalues are different, but the vectors are the same. 7. Solve the IVP dy dt + y3 = ; y() = y What values of y are acceptable? How does our choice of y dictate the interval of t on which the DE is defined? This is.4.4 in your textbook. Note that this is non-linear. It is, however, separable. We get y(t) = y y t +
