    The document provides the solution to a differential equation boundary value problem. The problem asks to find the value of y0 such that the solution just touches but does not cross the t-axis. The solution shows that for this to occur, t* must equal 2/3 and y(t*) and y'(t*) must equal 0. Solving the differential equation with these boundary conditions yields the value of y0 as approximately -1.64.

    Section 2.

    6, Problem 26 Write Up
    2 1 y + y = 1 t, y (0) = y0 3 2 Find the value of y0 so that the solution just touches, but does not cross, the taxis. SOLUTION: First, if y (t) touches, but does not cross, the taxis at some point, t, then: y (t) = 0, y (t) = 0 y (t) = 0
    2 Secondly, the dierential equation, y + 3 y =1 1 2 t, must hold for y at all t, and in particular, for t. Putting this together, 2 1 0 + 0 = 1 t t = 2 3 2 Now, our solution also satises: y (2) = 0 and y (2) = 0. We solve the dierential equation using an integrating factor to get:

    Problem: Given that

    ye 3

    2t

    2t 1 2t = e 3 te 3 2

    Integrate the right hand side by Integration by Parts to get: ye 3 = Simplifying, we get that: y= and, using y (0) = y0 , we get that C = y0 y= Finally, using y (2) = 0, we solve for y0 : 0= From which we get that: y0 = 3 4/3 21 e + (1 e4/3 ) 1.64 2 8
    2 21 3 21 2 + (y0 )e 3 2 8 4 8 2 21 3 t + C e 3 t 8 4 2t

    3 2t 1 e3 2 2

    3 2t 9 2t te 3 e 3 2 4

    +C

    21 8 .

    So,

    2 21 21 3 t + (y0 )e 3 t 8 4 8
