1. Because the differential equation can be rewritten e−y dy = xdx, integra-
tion immediately gives —e−y = 1 x 2 — C, or y = — ln(C — x 2/2).

2. Separating variables, we have that dx/(1 + x2) = dy/(1 + y2).
Integrating this equation, we find—that tan−1(x) tan− 1(y) =—tan(C), or (x
y)/(1+xy) = C.
3. Because the differential equation can be rewritten ln(x)dx/x = y dy, inte-
gration immediately gives 1 ln2(x) + C = 1 y2, or y2(x) — ln2(x) = 2C.

4. Because the differential equation can be rewritten y2 dy = (x + x3)
dx, integration immediately gives y3(x)/3 = x2/2 + x4/4 + C.
5. Because the differential equation can be rewritten y dy/(2+y2) = xdx/(1+
x2), integration immediately gives 1 ln(2 + y2) = 1 ln(1 + x2) + 1 ln(C), or

2 + y2(x) = C(1 + x2).
6. Because the differential equation can be rewritten dy/y1/3 = x1/3 dx,
integration immediately gives 3 y2/3 = 3 x 4/3 + 3 C, or y(x) = 1 x 4/3 + C

7. Because the differential equation can be rewritten e−y dy = ex dx, integra-
tion immediately gives —e−y = ex — C, or y(x) = — ln(C — ex).
8. Because the differential equation can be rewritten dy/(y2 + 1) = (x3
+ 5) dx, integration immediately gives tan−1(y) = 1 x4 + 5x + C, or
y(x) =

tan 14 x4 + 5x + C .
9. Because the differential equation can be rewritten y2 dy/(b — ay3) = dt,
integration immediately gives ln[b — ay 3] yy0 = —3at, or (ay 3 — b)/(ay03 — b) =
e−3at.
10. Because the differential equation can be written du/u = dx/x2, integra-
tion immediately gives u = Ce−1/x or y(x) = x + Ce−1/x.

11. From the hydrostatic equation and ideal gas law, dp/p =
Substituting for T (z),

Integrating from 0 to z,

12. For 0 < z < H, we simply use the previous problem. At z = H,
the ṗressure is
T0 — ΓH g/(RΓ)
ṗ(H) = ṗ0 .

Then we follow the examṗle in the text for an isothermal atmosṗhere for
