FIRST-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
SECTION 1.1
UV
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS AND MATHEMATICAL MODELS

The main purpose of Section 1.1 is simply to introduce the basic notation and terminology of dif-
ferential equations, and to show the student what is meant by a solution of a differential equation.
Also, the use of differential equations in the mathematical modeling of real-world phenomena is
outlined.
IA
Problems 1-12 are routine verifications by direct substitution of the suggested solutions into the
given differential equations. We include here just some typical examples of such verifications.
_A
3. If y1  cos 2x and y2  sin 2x , then y1   2sin 2x y2  2 cos 2x , so
y1  4cos 2x  4y1 and y2  4sin 2x  4 y2 . Thus y1 4 y1  0 and y2  4 y2  0 .

4. If y1  e3x and y 2  e3x , then y1  3 e3x and y 2   3 e3x , so y1  9e3x  9 y 1 and
PP
y2  9e3x  9 y 2 .


5. If y  ex  ex , then y  ex  ex , so y  y  ex  ex   ex  ex   2 e x . Thus
y  y  2 ex .
RO
6. If y1  e2x and y 2  x e2 x , then y1   2 e2 x , y1  4 e2 x , y2  e2 x  2x e2 x , and
y2   4 e2 x  4x e2 x . Hence

y1 4 y1  4 y1   4 e2x   4 2 e2x   4 e2x   0

y2  4 y2  4 y2    4 e2x  4x e2x   4 e2x  2x e2x   4  x e2x   0.

8. If y1  cos x  cos 2x and y2  sin x  cos 2x , then y1   sin x  2sin 2x,
y1   cos x  4 cos 2x, y2  cos x  2sin 2x , and y2   sin x  4 cos 2x. Hence
y1 y1    cos x  4 cos 2x  cos x  cos 2x  3cos 2x
and

y2 y2  sin x  4cos 2x   sin x  cos 2x  3cos 2x.

11. If y  y1  x 2 , then y  2 x 3 and y  6 x4 , so

If y  y 2  x2 ln x , then y  x3  2 x3 ln x and y   5 x4  6 x4 ln x , so

    
x2 y  5x y  4 y  x2 5 x4  6 x4 ln x  5x x 3  2 x3 ln x  4 x 2 ln x 

13. Substitution of y  erx into 3y  2 y gives the equation 3r erx  2erx , which simplifies
to 3 r  2. Thus r  2/ 3.

14. Substitution of y  erx into 4 y  y gives the equation 4r 2 erx  erx , which simplifies to
IA
4 r 2  1. Thus r   .

15. Substitution of y  erx into y  y  2 y  0 gives the equation r2erx  r erx  2 erx  0 ,
_A
which simplifies to r 2  r  2  (r  2)(r 1)  0. Thus r  2 or r  1.

16. Substitution of y  erx into 3 y  3 y  4 y  0 gives the equation
3r2erx  3r erx  4erx  0, which simplifies to 3r 2  3r  4  0 . The quadratic formula then
PP
gives the solutions r  3  57   6.

The verifications of the suggested solutions in Problems 17-26 are similar to those in Problems
1-12. We illustrate the determination of the value of C only in some typical cases. However, we

illustrate typical solution curves for each of these problems.
