Eton Midterm 2 Practice Questions

Practice Questions for Math 222.

Answer the questions to the best of your ability. Note the problems written here are significantly
harder than past exams. These questions should be seen as extension questions. For those looking
for more representative exam questions, review the past exams on Canvas.

(a) Solve the following differential equations where I, k > 0


dx
(i) dt = I − kx using separation of variables

(ii) dt = I − kx, x (0) = x0 , using integrating factor.

(b) (Mixing) Suppose a tank initially has 100 liters (L) of salt water solution had 30 kilo-
grams (kg) of salt in it. Salt water containing 40 (kg) per liter of salt is pumped in
at a rate of 6L per minute and the mixed solution is pumped out at a rate of 12L per
minute. Assuming ideal mixing, write but do not solve a differential equation modelling
the amount of salt left in the tank as a function of time.

of 6L per minute.
