GN1.1b Classifying Differential Equations

1) The document is a student's guided notes for a differential equations class. It contains questions about determining properties of differential equations like order, unknown function, and independent variable. 2) One question asks the student to show that y=ln(x) is a solution to the differential equation xy'+y'=0 on the interval (0,∞) but not on (-∞,∞). The student correctly shows that y=ln(x) satisfies the equation on (0,∞) but is undefined for negative x values. 3) Other questions ask the student to find the domain of a function and determine if a given differential equation is linear or nonlinear by analyzing its terms.
