Quiz1 Solution PDF

(1) The document contains solutions to 3 initial value problems. (2) For the first problem, the solution is the explicit function y = x^2 - x + 2. (3) For the second problem, existence is not guaranteed by the theorem and the solution is the constant function y = 0. (4) For the third problem also, existence is not guaranteed by the theorem and the solution is the constant function y = 2.

QUIZ 1–SOLUTIONS

(1) Find an explicit solution to the initial value problem


dy
− 2x + 1 = 0; y(0) = 2.
dx

Solution Isolate the derivative and integrate.


dy
= 2x − 1
dx Z
y= (2x − 1) dx

= x2 − x + C
Use the initial condition to solve for C.
2 = y(0)
= 02 − 0 + C
=C

The solution is y = x2 − x + 2.
(2) Determine whether the existence and uniqueness theorem (Theorem 1 in
section 1.3) guarantees existence of a solution to the initial value problem
dy √
= 3 y; y(0) = 0.
dx
