1. (a) Verify that y is a solution of the ODE. (b) Determine from y the particular solution of the IVP.
Solution
a)
y = ce-4x+0.35
y\' = -4ce-4x = -4(y-0.35)
= -4y+1.4
As y satisfies the DE , it is verified that y is a solution of the ODE>
To find c
y(0) =2
i.e. 2 = ce-4(0)+0.35
1.65 = c
Hence particular solution is
y = 1.65e-4x+0.35
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
b) y\' = y + ex
y = (x+c)ex
= xex+cex
y\' = ex+xex+cex
= ex+y
Thus verified that y is a solution of the ODE.
To find c:
y(0) = 0.5. Plug in these values
0.5 = ce0
c= 0.5
Hence solution is
y = (x+0.5) ex
