AMA2111 Mathematics I
2021-22 Semester 1 Assignment 2
Due Date: 23:59, Tuesday 16th November, 2021
• Put the following information on the top right corner of the front page of your
assignment.
– Your name and student number
– Subject code: AMA2111
– Subject lecturer: Dr Gao Yu
• Photograph your solutions onto a PDF file named “YourName StudentID”, other-
wise the marker (not the lecturer) cannot write on your solution, then you cannot
see the marking but only the score.
• You may using the app “CamScanner” or other softwares. Make sure that the file
is complete, legible, in correct order and orientation.
• Upload/attach your assignment solution pdf file at the same place you’ve down-
loaded this assignment by pressing “Browse My Computer”, then choose your pdf
file, and then press “Submit”. You may re-submit the assignment again, to a max-
imum of twice, before the due time. After submitting, check and make sure your
submission is successful.
• No late submission is allowed. It may not be marked.
1. Solve the initial value problem
1 3 −3 −2
y0 = −2 6 −2 y, y(0) = 0 .
−1 1 3 0
2. Find the general solution of
y 00 + 4y 0 + 5y = 8 sin x
by method of undetermined coefficients.
3. Solve the initial value problem
y 00 + 2y 0 − 3y = 6 + 4ex , y(0) = 1, y 0 (0) = 0
by method of undetermined coefficients.
1
4. Find the general solution of
1
y 00 + 4y 0 + 4y = .
x2 e2x
5. Solve the initial value problem
y 00 − y = 4(x + 1)ex , y(0) = 1, y 0 (0) = 2
by variation of parameters.
6. Use the Laplace transform to solve the initial value problem
y 00 + 4y = 16 sin t cos t, y(0) = 1, y 0 (0) = 0.
7. Use the Laplace transform to solve the initial value problem
y 00 + y = f (t), y(0) = 0, y 0 (0) = 0,
where
0, t < 1,
f (t) = t, 1 ≤ t < 2,
−t, t ≥ 2.
8. Find the partial derivatives zx (x, y), zy (x, y), and zxy (x, y), where z(x, y) is defined
by xyz = sin z.
9. Let f be a differentiable function of one variable, and w = f (2x2 + 3xy).
i) Verify that the function w satisfies the equation (4x + 3y)wy − 3xwx = 0.
ii) If f (u) = sin u, calculate wxy .
