BITS PILANI - K K BIRLA GOA CAMPUS

First Semester 2023-24


Mid-Semester Exam (Closed Book)
Course Name : MATHEMATICS-III Date : 11/10/2023
Course No. : MATH F211 Time : 90 Minutes
Day : Wednesday Max. Marks : 100

Instructions:
1. All questions are compulsory.
2. Write all the steps clearly and give explanation for complete credit.
3 Number all the pages of your answer book and make a question-page index on the front page.
A penalty of 3 marks will be imposed in case of incomplete or no index.
4 Start a new question on a fresh page.

1. Convert the following differential equation into an equivalent first-order linear system and
hence solve the system [17]

y ′′ − 3y ′ − 4y = 0, y(0) = 0, y ′ (0) = −8.

2. Use the method of undetermined coefficients to solve the initial value problem [17]

y ′′ + 9y = cos 3x + sin 3x + 18e3x , y(0) = 2, y ′ (0) = 1.

3. Find a particular solution of the following differential equation by operators method [17]

y ′′ + 2y ′ + y = 2x2 e−2x + 3e−x .

4. Consider the second-order linear differential equation y ′′ + P (x)y ′ + Q(x)y = 0, where P (x)
and Q(x) are continuous functions in [a, b]. Let y1 (x) and y2 (x) be any two solutions of
this equation in [a, b]. Show that their Wronskian, denoted as W (y1 , y2 ), is either identically
zero or never zero on [a, b]. Hence, find the Wronskian of any two solutions of the equation
(1 − x2 )y ′′ − 2xy ′ + 6y = 0 on (−1, 1). [17]

5. Derive the condition under which the non-exact equation M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0, has
an integrating factor that is a function of z = x + y 2 . Use it to find an integrating factor of
(3y 2 − x)dx + 2y(y 2 − 3x)dy = 0. [17]

6. Find the general solution of x2 y ′′′ + 3xy ′′ + y ′ = 0 where x > 0 by transforming it into a
second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. [15]
