dx = −.

  1. (2-rev:8) Classify each differential equation as to: separable, exact, linear, homogeneous, or Bernoulli. Some equations may be more than one kind. Do not solve but justify your answer.
  1. (2-Rev:10) Solve the following differential equation: y (ln x−lny)dx=(xlnx−xlny−y) dy
  2. (2-Rev:14) Solve the following differential equation:

( 2 x+ y+ 1 )y'^ = 1

  1. (2.5:37) For the following differential equation:

xv dv v 2 32 x dx

  • =

(a) solve the equation by converting it into an exact equation using an integrating factor

(b) solve the DE using the fact that it is a Bernoulli equation

  1. (2.5:27) Solve the following DE using the appropriate substitution

2 2 3 dy y x dx

= + − +

  1. (2.5:13) Solve the following initial value problem

( x + ye y x^ /^ ) dx − xe y x/ dy = 0, y(1) = 0

  1. (3.1:39) (a) Verify that y 1 = x^3 and 3 y 2 = x are linearly independent solutions of the

differential equation x 2 y′′^ − 4 xy′+ 6 y= 0 on the interval ( −∞, ∞).

(b) Show that W (y 1 ,y 2 )= 0 for every real number x. Does this result violates theorem 3.3? Explain.
