A differential equation (de) is an equation involving a function and its deriva-tives. Differential equations are called partial differential equations (pde) or or-dinary differential equations (ode) according to whether or not they contain partial derivatives. The order of a differential equation is the highest order derivative occurring.

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS PRACTICE PROBLEMS: ANSWERS 1. Find the solution of y0 +2xy= x,withy(0) = −2. This is a linear equation. The integrating factor is e R 2xdx= ex2. Multiplying through by this, we get y0ex2 +2xex2y = xex2 (ex2y)0 = xex2 ex2y = R xex2dx= 1 2 ex2 +C y = 1 2 +Ce−x2. Putting in the initial condition gives C= −5/2,soy= 1 2 ...

focuses the student’s attention on the idea of seeking a solutionyof a differential equation by writingit as yD uy1, where y1 is a known solutionof related equation and uis a functionto be determined. I use this idea in nonstandardways, as follows: In Section 2.4 to solve nonlinear first order equations, such as Bernoulli equations and nonlinear

However, for some forms there are methods to find solutions. For example, if the equation is linear in y, it can be written as.

An example of a differential equation of order 4, 2, and 1 is ... This is not easy to solve, so we will make the simplifying approximation ...
