9. Writing the differential equation in the form x(dy/dx) + y 2 = 1, we see that it is nonlinear in y because of y 2 .
However, writing it in the form (y 2 − 1)(dx/dy) + x = 0, we see that it is linear in x.
10. Writing the differential equation in the form u(dv/du) + (1 + u)v = ueu we see that it is linear in v. However,
writing it in the form (v + uv − ueu )(du/dv) + u = 0, we see that it is nonlinear in u.

y ′′ − 6y ′ + 13y = 0.
14. From y = − cos x ln(sec x + tan x) we obtain y ′ = −1 + sin x ln(sec x + tan x) and
y ′′ = tan x + cos x ln(sec x + tan x). Then y ′′ + y = tan x.
15. The domain of the function, found by solving x + 2 ≥ 0, is [−2, ∞). From y ′ = 1 + 2(x + 2)−1/2 we have
(y − x)y ′ = (y − x)[1 + (2(x + 2)−1/2 ]

Definitions and Terminology
An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−2, ∞) because y ′ is not defined at
x = −2.

y ′ = 25(1 + tan2 5x) = 25 + 25 tan2 5x = 25 + y 2 .
An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−π/10, π/10). Another interval is
(π/10, 3π/10), and so on.

18. The function is y = 1/ 1 − sin x , whose domain is obtained from 1 − sin x ̸= 0 or sin x ̸= 1. Thus, the domain

is {x $ x ̸= π/2 + 2nπ}. From y ′ = − 12 (1 − sin x)−3/2 (− cos x) we have
2y ′ = (1 − sin x)−3/2 cos x = [(1 − sin x)−1/2 ]3 cos x = y 3 cos x.
An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (π/2, 5π/2). Another one is (5π/2, 9π/2),

26. The function y(x) is not continuous at x = 0 since lim− y(x) = 5 and lim+ y(x) = −5. Thus, y ′ (x) does not
x→0
x→0
exist at x = 0.
27. (a) From y = emx we obtain y ′ = memx . Then y ′ + 2y = 0 implies
memx + 2emx = (m + 2)emx = 0.
Since emx > 0 for all x, m = −2. Thus y = e−2x is a solution.
(b) From y = emx we obtain y ′ = memx and y ′′ = m2 emx . Then y ′′ − 5y ′ + 6y = 0 implies
m2 emx − 5memx + 6emx = (m − 2)(m − 3)emx = 0.
Since emx > 0 for all x, m = 2 and m = 3. Thus y = e2x and y = e3x are solutions.
28. (a) From y = xm we obtain y ′ = mxm−1 and y ′′ = m(m − 1)xm−2 . Then xy ′′ + 2y ′ = 0 implies
xm(m − 1)xm−2 + 2mxm−1 = [m(m − 1) + 2m]xm−1 = (m2 + m)xm−1
= m(m + 1)xm−1 = 0.
Since xm−1 > 0 for x > 0, m = 0 and m = −1. Thus y = 1 and y = x−1 are solutions.
(b) From y = xm we obtain y ′ = mxm−1 and y ′′ = m(m − 1)xm−2 . Then x2 y ′′ − 7xy ′ + 15y = 0 implies
x2 m(m − 1)xm−2 − 7xmxm−1 + 15xm = [m(m − 1) − 7m + 15]xm
= (m2 − 8m + 15)xm = (m − 3)(m − 5)xm = 0.
Since xm > 0 for x > 0, m = 3 and m = 5. Thus y = x3 and y = x5 are solutions.
In Problems 29–32, we substitute y = c into the differential equations and use y ′ = 0 and y ′′ = 0
29. Solving 5c = 10 we see that y = 2 is a constant solution.
30. Solving c2 + 2c − 3 = (c + 3)(c − 1) = 0 we see that y = −3 and y = 1 are constant solutions.
31. Since 1/(c − 1) = 0 has no solutions, the differential equation has no constant solutions.
32. Solving 6c = 10 we see that y = 5/3 is a constant solution.

35. (y ′ )2 + 1 = 0 has no real solutions because (y ′ )2 + 1 is positive for all functions y = φ(x).
36. The only solution of (y ′ )2 + y 2 = 0 is y = 0, since if y ̸= 0, y 2 > 0 and (y ′ )2 + y 2 ≥ y 2 > 0.
37. The first derivative of f (x) = ex is ex . The first derivative of f (x) = ekx is kekx . The differential equations are
y ′ = y and y ′ = ky, respectively.
38. Any function of the form y = cex or y = ce−x is its own second derivative. The corresponding differential
equation is y ′′ − y = 0. Functions of the form y = c sin x or y = c cos x have second derivatives that are the
negatives of themselves. The differential equation is y ′′ + y = 0.

39. We first note that 1 − y 2 = 1 − sin2 x = cos2 x = | cos x|. This prompts us to consider values of x for

Thus, y = sin x will only be a solution of y ′ = 1 − y 2 when cos x > 0. An interval of definition is then
(−π/2, π/2). Other intervals are (3π/2, 5π/2), (7π/2, 9π/2), and so on.
40. Since the first and second derivatives of sin t and cos t involve sin t and cos t, it is plausible that a linear
combination of these functions, A sin t + B cos t, could be a solution of the differential equation. Using y ′ =
A cos t − B sin t and y ′′ = −A sin t − B cos t and substituting into the differential equation we get
y ′′ + 2y ′ + 4y = −A sin t − B cos t + 2A cos t − 2B sin t + 4A sin t + 4B cos t
= (3A − 2B) sin t + (2A + 3B) cos t = 5 sin t.
Thus 3A − 2B = 5 and 2A + 3B = 0. Solving these simultaneous equations we find A =

41. One solution is given by the upper portion of the graph with domain approximately (0, 2.6). The other solution
is given by the lower portion of the graph, also with domain approximately (0, 2.6).
42. One solution, with domain approximately (−∞, 1.6) is the portion of the graph in the second quadrant together
with the lower part of the graph in the first quadrant. A second solution, with domain approximately (0, 1.6)
is the upper part of the graph in the first quadrant. The third solution, with domain (0, ∞), is the part of the
graph in the fourth quadrant.

44. A tangent line will be vertical where y ′ is undefined, or in this case, where x(2y 3 − x3 ) = 0. This gives x = 0
and 2y 3 = x3 . Substituting y 3 = x3 /2 into x3 + y 3 = 3xy we get

Thus, there are vertical tangent lines at x = 0 and x = 22/3 , or at (0, 0) and (22/3 , 21/3 ). Since 22/3 ≈ 1.59, the
estimates of the domains in Problem 42 were close.

45. The derivatives of the functions are φ′1 (x) = −x/ 25 − x2 and φ′2 (x) = x/ 25 − x2 , neither of which is defined
at x = ±5.
46. To determine if a solution curve passes through (0, 3) we let t = 0 and P = 3 in the equation P = c1 et /(1+c1 et ).
This gives 3 = c1 /(1 + c1 ) or c1 = − 32 . Thus, the solution curve
P =

(−3/2)et

1 − (3/2)et
2 − 3et
passes through the point (0, 3). Similarly, letting t = 0 and P = 1 in the equation for the one-parameter family
of solutions gives 1 = c1 /(1 + c1 ) or c1 = 1 + c1 . Since this equation has no solution, no solution curve passes
through (0, 1).
47. For the first-order differential equation integrate f (x). For the second-order differential equation integrate twice.

In the latter case we get y = ( f (x)dx)dx + c1 x + c2 .

so the differential equation cannot be put in the form dy/dx = f (x, y).
49. The differential equation yy ′ − xy = 0 has normal form dy/dx = x. These are not equivalent because y = 0 is a
solution of the first differential equation but not a solution of the second.

52. (a) The derivative of a constant solution y = c is 0, so solving 5 − c = 0 we see that c = 5 and so y = 5 is a
constant solution.
(b) A solution is increasing where dy/dx = 5−y > 0 or y < 5. A solution is decreasing where dy/dx = 5−y < 0
or y > 5.
53. (a) The derivative of a constant solution is 0, so solving y(a − by) = 0 we see that y = 0 and y = a/b are
constant solutions.
(b) A solution is increasing where dy/dx = y(a − by) = by(a/b − y) > 0 or 0 < y < a/b. A solution is decreasing
where dy/dx = by(a/b − y) < 0 or y < 0 or y > a/b.
(c) Using implicit differentiation we compute
d2 y

Solving d2 y/dx2 = 0 we obtain y = a/2b. Since d2 y/dx2 > 0 for 0 < y < a/2b and d2 y/dx2 < 0 for
a/2b < y < a/b, the graph of y = φ(x) has a point of inflection at y = a/2b.

54. (a) If y = c is a constant solution then y ′ = 0, but c2 + 4 is never 0 for any real value of c.
(b) Since y ′ = y 2 + 4 > 0 for all x where a solution y = φ(x) is defined, any solution must be increasing on any
interval on which it is defined. Thus it cannot have any relative extrema.
(c) Using implicit differentiation we compute d2 y/dx2 = 2yy ′ = 2y(y 2 + 4). Setting d2 y/dx2 = 0 we see that
y = 0 corresponds to the only possible point of inflection. Since d2 y/dx2 < 0 for y < 0 and d2 y/dx2 > 0
for y > 0, there is a point of inflection where y = 0.

At x = 1 the y-coordinate of the point of tangency is y = −1 + 5 = 4. This gives the initial condition y(1) = 4.
The slope of the tangent line at x = 1 is y ′ (1) = −1. From the initial conditions we obtain

c1 + c2 = 3
6 − 2 + c1 = −1

34. (a) As shown in Figure 1.43(b) in the text, the resultant of the reaction force of magnitude F and the weight
of magnitude mg of the particle is the centripetal force of magnitude mω 2 x. The centripetal force points
to the center of the circle of radius x on which the particle rotates about the y-axis. Comparing parts of
similar triangles gives
F cos θ = mg
and F sin θ = mω 2 x.

If dr/dt is a constant, then dm/dt = kS where ρ dr/dt = k or dr/dt = k/ρ. Since the radius is decreasing,
k < 0. Solving dr/dt = k/ρ we get r = (k/ρ)t + c0 . Since r(0) = r0 , c0 = r0 and r = kt/ρ + r0 .

Then dy/dt is the velocity of the plow and the assumption gives

where w is the width of the plow. Each side of this equation simply represents the volume of snow plowed in
one hour. Now let t0 be the number of hours before noon when it started snowing and let s be the constant rate

39. At time t, when the population is 2 million cells, the differential equation P ′ (t) = 0.15P (t) gives the rate of
increase at time t. Thus, when P (t) = 2 (million cells), the rate of increase is P ′ (t) = 0.15(2) = 0.3 million cells
per hour or 300,000 cells per hour.

14. Easy solutions to see are y = 0 and y = 3.
15. The slope of the tangent line at (x, y) is y ′ , so the differential equation is y ′ = x2 + y 2 .
16. The rate at which the slope changes is dy ′ /dx = y ′′ , so the differential equation is y ′′ = −y ′ or y ′′ + y ′ = 0.
17. (a) The domain is all real numbers.
(b) Since y ′ = 2/3x1/3 , the solution y = x2/3 is undefined at x = 0. This function is a solution of the differential
equation on (−∞, 0) and also on (0, ∞).
18. (a) Differentiating y 2 − 2y = x2 − x + c we obtain 2yy ′ − 2y ′ = 2x − 1 or (2y − 2)y ′ = 2x − 1.
(b) Setting x = 0 and y = 1 in the solution we have 1 − 2 = 0 − 0 + c or c = −1. Thus, a solution of the

x20 − x0 − 2 = (x0 − 2)(x0 + 1) = 0.
Thus, x0 = 2 or x0 = −1. Since x = 0 in y = −2/x+x, we see that y = −2/x+x is a solution of the initial-value
problem xy ′ + y = 2x, y(−1) = 1, on the interval (−∞, 0) and y = −2/x + x is a solution of the initial-value
problem xy ′ + y = 2x, y(2) = 1, on the interval (0, ∞).
20. From the differential equation, y ′ (1) = 12 + [y(1)]2 = 1 + (−1)2 = 2 > 0, so y(x) is increasing in some
neighborhood of x = 1. From y ′′ = 2x + 2yy ′ we have y ′′ (1) = 2(1) + 2(−1)(2) = −2 < 0, so y(x) is concave

y ′ = x cos x + sin x − x sin x + cos x
and
y ′′ = −x sin x + cos x + cos x − x cos x − sin x − sin x

To obtain an interval of definition we note that the domain of ln x is (0, ∞), so we must have cos x > 0. Thus,
an interval of definition is (−π/2, π/2).

To obtain an interval of definition, we note that the domain of ln x is (0, ∞), so we must have cos(ln x) > 0.
Since cos x > 0 when −π/2 < x < π/2, we require −π/2 < ln x < π/2. Since ex is an increasing function, this is
equivalent to e−π/2 < x < eπ/2 . Thus, an interval of definition is (e−π/2 , eπ/2 ). (Much of this problem is more
easily done using a computer algebra system such as Mathematica or Maple.)

graph of the solution is increasing on (−∞, −2.2) and (0.5, 1.7). Since f (y) < 0 for −2.2 < y < 0.5 and y > 1.7,
the graph is decreasing on (−2.2, 0.5) and (1.7, ∞).

This enables us to construct the phase portrait shown at the right. From this portrait we see that π/2 and
−π/2 are unstable (repellers), and 0 is asymptotically stable (attractor).
32. For dy/dx = 0 every real number is a critical point, and hence all critical points are nonisolated.
33. Recall that for dy/dx = f (y) we are assuming that f and f ′ are continuous functions of y on some interval
I. Now suppose that the graph of a nonconstant solution of the differential equation crosses the line y = c.
If the point of intersection is taken as an initial condition we have two distinct solutions of the initial-value
problem. This violates uniqueness, so the graph of any nonconstant solution must lie entirely on one side of
any equilibrium solution. Since f is continuous it can only change signs at a point where it is 0. But this is a
critical point. Thus, f (y) is completely positive or completely negative in each region Ri . If y(x) is oscillatory

or has a relative extremum, then it must have a horizontal tangent line at some point (x0 , y0 ). In this case y0
would be a critical point of the differential equation, but we saw above that the graph of a nonconstant solution
cannot intersect the graph of the equilibrium solution y = y0 .
34. By Problem 33, a solution y(x) of dy/dx = f (y) cannot have relative extrema and hence must be monotone.
Since y ′ (x) = f (y) > 0, y(x) is monotone increasing, and since y(x) is bounded above by c2 , limx→∞ y(x) = L,
where L ≤ c2 . We want to show that L = c2 . Since L is a horizontal asymptote of y(x), limx→∞ y ′ (x) = 0.
Using the fact that f (y) is continuous we have
f (L) = f ( lim y(x)) = lim f (y(x)) = lim y ′ (x) = 0.
x→∞
x→∞
x→∞
But then L is a critical point of f . Since c1 < L ≤ c2 , and f has no critical points between c1 and c2 , L = c2 .
35. Assuming the existence of the second derivative, points of inflection of y(x) occur where y ′′ (x) = 0. From
dy/dx = f (y) we have d2 y/dx2 = f ′ (y) dy/dx. Thus, the y-coordinate of a point of inflection can be located by
solving f ′ (y) = 0. (Points where dy/dx = 0 correspond to constant solutions of the differential equation.)
36. Solving y 2 − y − 6 = (y − 3)(y + 2) = 0 we see that 3 and −2 are critical points.
2
y

Now d y/dx = (2y −1) dy/dx = (2y −1)(y −3)(y +2), so the only possible point
of inflection is at y = 12 , although the concavity of solutions can be different on
either side of y = −2 and y = 3. Since y ′′ (x) < 0 for y < −2 and
′′
and y (x) > 0 for −2 <
concave down for y < −2
y < 21 and y > 3,
and 21 < y < 3 and

2
< y < 3,
we see that solution curves are
concave up for −2 < y < 12 and
-5
y > 3. Points of inflection of solutions of autonomous differential equations will
have the same y-coordinates because between critical points they are horizontal
translates of each other.

37. If (1) in the text has no critical points it has no constant solutions. The solutions have neither an upper nor
lower bound. Since solutions are monotonic, every solution assumes all real values.
38. The critical points are 0 and b/a. From the phase portrait we see that 0 is an attractor and b/a
is a repeller. Thus, if an initial population satisfies P0 > b/a, the population becomes unbounded
as t increases, most probably in finite time, i.e. P (t) → ∞ as t → T . If 0 < P0 < b/a, then the
population eventually dies out, that is, P (t) → 0 as t → ∞. Since population P > 0 we do not
consider the case P0 < 0.

40. (a) From the phase portrait we see that critical points are α and β. Let X(0) = X0 . If X0 < α,
we see that X → α as t → ∞. If α < X0 < β, we see that X → α as t → ∞. If X0 > β, we see
that X(t) increases in an unbounded manner, but more specific behavior of X(t) as t → ∞ is
not known.

(b) When α = β the phase portrait is as shown. If X0 < α, then X(t) → α as t → ∞. If X0 > α,
then X(t) increases in an unbounded manner. This could happen in a finite amount of time.
That is, the phase portrait does not indicate that X becomes unbounded as t → ∞.

In many of the following problems we will encounter an expression of the form ln |g(y)| = f (x) + c. To solve for g(y)
we exponentiate both sides of the equation. This yields |g(y)| = ef (x)+c = ec ef (x) which implies g(y) = ±ec ef (x) .
Letting c1 = ±ec we obtain g(y) = c1 ef (x) .

The initial condition dictates whether to use the plus or minus sign.
√
When y1 (0) = 4 we have c1 = 1 and y1 (x) = 3 + 2x + 1 .
√
When y2 (0) = 2 we have c1 = 1 and y2 (x) = 3 − 2x + 1 .
√
When y3 (1) = 2 we have c1 = −1 and y3 (x) = 3 − 2x − 1 .
√
When y4 (−1) = 4 we have c1 = 3 and y4 (x) = 3 + 2x + 3 .
39. (a) Separating variables we have 2y dy = (2x + 1)dx. Integrating gives y 2 = x2 + x + c. When y(−2) = −1 we
√
find c = −1, so y 2 = x2 + x − 1 and y = − x2 + x − 1 . The negative square root is chosen because of the
initial condition.

The right-hand endpoint of the interval is excluded because y = − x2 + x − 1 is not differentiable at this

40. (a) From Problem 7 the general solution is 3e−2y + 2e3x = c. When y(0) = 0 we find c = 5, so 3e−2y + 2e3x = 5.
Solving for y we get y = − 12 ln 13 (5 − 2e3x ).

(c) Solving 13 (5 − 2e3x ) = 0 we get x = 13 ln( 25 ), so the exact interval of definition is (−∞, 13 ln 52 ).
√
41. (a) While y2 (x) = − 25 − x2 is defined at x = −5 and x = 5, y2′ (x) is not defined at these values, and so the
interval of definition is the open interval (−5, 5).
(b) At any point on the x-axis the derivative of y(x) is undefined, so no solution curve can cross the x-axis.
Since −x/y is not defined when y = 0, the initial-value problem has no solution.
42. (a) Separating variables and integrating we obtain x2 − y 2 = c. For c ̸= 0 the graph is a hyperbola centered at
the origin. All four initial conditions imply c = 0 and y = ±x. Since the differential equation is not defined
for y = 0, solutions are y = ±x, x < 0 and y = ±x, x > 0. The solution for y(a) = a is y = x, x > 0; for
y(a) = −a is y = −x; for y(−a) = a is y = −x, x < 0; and for y(−a) = −a is y = x, x < 0.
(b) Since x/y is not defined when y = 0, the initial-value problem has no solution.
(c) Setting x = 1 and y = 2 in x2 − y 2 = c we get c = −3, so y 2 = x2 + 3 and y(x) =
√
x2 + 3 , where
the positive square root is chosen because of the initial condition. The domain is all real numbers since
x2 + 3 > 0 for all x.

Thus a solution is y = sin(x + c). If we use the negative square root we obtain
y = sin(c − x) = − sin(x − c) = − sin(x + c1 ).
Note that when c = c1 = 0 and when c = c1 = π/2 we obtain the well known particular solutions y = sin x,
y = − sin x, y = cos x, and y = − cos x. Note also that y = 1 and y = −1 are singular solutions.

47. Since the tension T1 (or magnitude T1 ) acts at the lowest point of the cable, we use symmetry to solve the
problem on the interval [0, L/2]. The assumption that the roadbed is uniform (that is, weighs a constant ρ

becomes dy/dx = (ρ/T1 )x. This last equation is a separable equation of the form given in (1) of Section 2.2 in
the text. Integrating and using the initial condition y(0) = a shows that the shape of the cable is a parabola:
y(x) = (ρ/2T1 )x2 + a. In terms of the sag h of the cable and the span L, we see from Figure 2.22 in the text that
y(L/2) = h + a. By applying this last condition to y(x) = (ρ/2T1 )x2 + a enables us to express ρ/2T1 in terms of
h and L: y(x) = (4h/L2 )x2 + a. Since y(x) is an even function of x, the solution is valid on −L/2 ≤ x ≤ L/2.
48. (a) Separating variables and integrating, we have (3y 2 +1)dy = −(8x+5)dx

y 2 + 2y − x4 − 3x2 + c = 0.
The condition y(0) = −3 implies that c = −3. Therefore y 2 + 2y − x4 − 3x2 − 3 = 0.

Thus y = c1 e−e . From y(0) = 1 we get c1 = e, so y = e1−e .

38. We want 4 to be a critical point, so we use y ′ = 4 − y.
39. (a) All solutions of the form y = x5 ex − x4 ex + cx4 satisfy the initial condition. In this case, since 4/x is
discontinuous at x = 0, the hypotheses of Theorem 1.1 are not satisfied and the initial-value problem does
not have a unique solution.
(b) The differential equation has no solution satisfying y(0) = y0 , y0 > 0.
(c) In this case, since x0 > 0, Theorem 1.1 applies and the initial-value problem has a unique solution given by
y = x5 ex − x4 ex + cx4 where c = y0 /x40 − x0 ex0 + ex0 .

41. We want the general solution to be y = 3x − 5 + ce−x . (Rather than e−x , any function that approaches 0 as
x → ∞ could be used.) Differentiating we get
y ′ = 3 − ce−x = 3 − (y − 3x + 5) = −y + 3x − 2,
so the differential equation y ′ + y = 3x − 2 has solutions asymptotic to the line y = 3x − 5.
42. The left-hand derivative of the function at x = 1 is 1/e and the right-hand derivative at x = 1 is 1 − 1/e. Thus,
y is not differentiable at x = 1.

so a differential equation with general solution yc = c/x3 is xy ′ + 3y = 0. Now

xyp′ + 3yp = x(3x2 ) + 3(x3 ) = 6x3
so a differential equation with general solution y = c/x3 + x3 is xy ′ + 3y = 6x3 . This will be a general
solution on (0, ∞).

(b) Since y(1) = 13 − 1/13 = 0, an initial condition is y(1) = 0. Since
y(1) = 13 + 2/13 = 3, an initial condition is y(1) = 3. In each case the
y
3
interval of definition is (0, ∞). The initial-value problem xy ′ + 3y = 6x3 ,
y(0) = 0 has solution y = x3 for −∞ < x < ∞. In the figure the lower
curve is the graph of y(x) = x3 − 1/x3 ,while the upper curve is the graph

(c) The first two initial-value problems in part (b) are not unique.
For example, setting
y(2) = 23 − 1/23 = 63/8, we see that y(2) = 63/8 is also an initial condition leading to the solution
y = x3 − 1/x3 .

In this case the x-axis is vertical and the y-axis is horizontal. To obtain the third graph, we solve
y − y/(x2 + y 2 ) = c for y in a CAS. This appears to give one real and two complex solutions. When
graphed in Mathematica however, all three solutions contribute to the graph. This is because the solutions
involve the square root of expressions containing c. For some values of c the expression is negative, causing
an apparent complex solution to actually be real.

31. We write the differential equation M (x, y)dx + N (x, y)dy = 0 as dy/dx = f (x, y) where
f (x, y) = −
M (x, y)
.
N (x, y)
The function f (x, y) must necessarily be homogeneous of degree 0 when M and N are homogeneous of degree
α. Since M is homogeneous of degree α, M (tx, ty) = tα M (x, y), and letting t = 1/x we have
M (1, y/x) =

A Numerical Method
1. We identify f (x, y) = 2x − 3y + 1. Then, for h = 0.1,
yn+1 = yn + 0.1(2xn − 3yn + 1) = 0.2xn + 0.7yn + 0.1,
and
y(1.1) ≈ y1 = 0.2(1) + 0.7(5) + 0.1 = 3.8
For h = 0.05,
y(1.2) ≈ y2 = 0.2(1.1) + 0.7(3.8) + 0.1 = 2.98.
yn+1 = yn + 0.05(2xn − 3yn + 1) = 0.1xn + 0.85yn + 0.1,

and
y(1.05) ≈ y1 = 0.1(1) + 0.85(5) + 0.1 = 4.4
y(1.1) ≈ y2 = 0.1(1.05) + 0.85(4.4) + 0.1 = 3.895
y(1.15) ≈ y3 = 0.1(1.1) + 0.85(3.895) + 0.1 = 3.47075
y(1.2) ≈ y4 = 0.1(1.15) + 0.85(3.47075) + 0.1 = 3.11514.
2. We identify f (x, y) = x + y 2 . Then, for h = 0.1,
yn+1 = yn + 0.1(xn + yn2 ) = 0.1xn + yn + 0.1yn2 ,
and
y(0.1) ≈ y1 = 0.1(0) + 0 + 0.1(0)2 = 0
y(0.2) ≈ y2 = 0.1(0.1) + 0 + 0.1(0)2 = 0.01.
For h = 0.05,
yn+1 = yn + 0.05(xn + yn2 ) = 0.05xn + yn + 0.05yn2 ,
and
y(0.05) ≈ y1 = 0.05(0) + 0 + 0.05(0)2 = 0
y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 0.05(0.05) + 0 + 0.05(0)2 = 0.0025
y(0.15) ≈ y3 = 0.05(0.1) + 0.0025 + 0.05(0.0025)2 = 0.0075
y(0.2) ≈ y4 = 0.05(0.15) + 0.0075 + 0.05(0.0075)2 = 0.0150.
3. Separating variables and integrating, we have

ln |y| = x + c.
Thus y = c1 ex and, using y(0) = 1, we find c = 1, so y = ex is the solution of the initial-value problem.

13. Using separation of variables we find that the solution of the differential equation is y = 1/(1 − x2 ), which is
undefined at x = 1, where the graph has a vertical asymptote. Because the actual solution of the differential
equation becomes unbounded at x approaches 1, very small changes in the inputs x will result in large changes
in the corresponding outputs y. This can be expected to have a serious effect on numerical procedures. The
graphs below were obtained as described above in Problem 11.

Linear Models
1. Let P = P (t) be the population at time t, and P0 the initial population. From dP/dt = kP we obtain P = P0 ekt .
Using P (5) = 2P0 we find k =
1
5
ln 2 and P = P0 e(ln 2)t/5 . Setting P (t) = 3P0 we have 3 = e(ln 2)t/5 , so
ln 3 =
(ln 2)t
5
and
t=
5 ln 3
≈ 7.9 years.
ln 2
Setting P (t) = 4P0 we have 4 = e(ln 2)t/5 , so
ln 4 =
(ln 2)t
5
and
t ≈ 10 years.
2. From Problem 1 the growth constant is k = 51 ln 2. Then P = P0 e(1/5)(ln 2)t and 10,000 = P0 e(3/5) ln 2 . Solving
for P0 we get P0 = 10,000e−(3/5) ln 2 = 6,597.5. Now
P (10) = P0 e(1/5)(ln 2)(10) = 6,597.5e2 ln 2 = 4P0 = 26,390.
The rate at which the population is growing is
P ′ (10) = kP (10) =
1
(ln 2)26,390 = 3658 persons/year.

3. Let P = P (t) be the population at time t. Then dP/dt = kP and P = cekt . From P (0) = c = 500
we see that P = 500ekt . Since 15% of 500 is 75, we have P (10) = 500e10k = 575. Solving for k, we get

k = 10
ln 500

ln 1.15. When t = 30,
P (30) = 500e(1/10)(ln 1.15)30 = 500e3 ln 1.15 = 760 years
and
P ′ (30) = kP (30) =

4. Let P = P (t) be bacteria population at time t and P0 the initial number. From dP/dt = kP we obtain
P = P0 ekt . Using P (3) = 400 and P (10) = 2000 we find 400 = P0 e3k or ek = (400/P0 )1/3 . From P (10) = 2000
we then have 2000 = P0 e10k = P0 (400/P0 )10/3 , so

5. Let A = A(t) be the amount of lead present at time t. From dA/dt = kA and A(0) = 1 we obtain A = ekt .
Using A(3.3) = 1/2 we find k =

3.3
ln(1/2). When 90% of the lead has decayed, 0.1 grams will remain. Setting

6. Let A = A(t) be the amount present at time t. From dA/dt = kA and A(0) = 100 we obtain A = 100ekt . Using
A(6) = 97 we find k = 16 ln 0.97. Then A(24) = 100e(1/6)(ln 0.97)24 = 100(0.97)4 ≈ 88.5 mg.
7. Setting A(t) = 50 in Problem 6 we obtain 50 = 100ekt , so

8. (a) The solution of dA/dt = kA is A(t) = A0 ekt . Letting A =
1
2 A0
and solving for t we obtain the half-life
T = −(ln 2)/k.
(b) Since k = −(ln 2)/T we have
A(t) = A0 e−(ln 2)t/T = A0 2−t/T .
(c) Writing 81 A0 = A0 2−t/T as 2−3 = 2−t/T and solving for t we get t = 3T . Thus, an initial amount A0 will
decay to 18 A0 in three half-lives.
9. Let I = I(t) be the intensity, t the thickness, and I(0) = I0 . If dI/dt = kI and I(3) = 0.25I0 , then I = I0 ekt ,
k = 31 ln 0.25, and I(15) = 0.00098I0 .
10. From dS/dt = rS we obtain S = S0 ert where S(0) = S0 .
(a) If S0 = $5000 and r = 5.75% then S(5) = $6665.45.
(b) If S(t) =$10,000 then t = 12 years.
(c) S ≈ $6651.82
11. Assume that A = A0 ekt and k = −0.00012378. If A(t) = 0.145A0 then t ≈15,600 years.
12. From Example 3 in the text, the amount of carbon present at time t is A(t) = A0 e−0.00012378t . Letting t = 660
and solving for A0 we have A(660) = A0 e−0.0001237(660) = 0.921553A0 . Thus, approximately 92% of the original
amount of C-14 remained in the cloth as of 1988.
13. Assume that dT /dt = k(T − 10) so that T = 10 + cekt . If T (0) = 70◦ and T (1/2) = 50◦ then c = 60 and
k = 2 ln(2/3) so that T (1) = 36.67◦ . If T (t) = 15◦ then t = 3.06 minutes.
14. Assume that dT /dt = k(T − 5) so that T = 5 + cekt . If T (1) = 55◦ and T (5) = 30◦ then k = − 41 ln 2 and
c = 59.4611 so that T (0) = 64.4611◦ .
15. Assume that dT /dt = k(T − 100) so that T = 100 + cekt . If T (0) = 20◦ and T (1) = 22◦ , then c = −80 and
k = ln(39/40) so that T (t) = 90◦ , which implies t = 82.1 seconds. If T (t) = 98◦ then t = 145.7 seconds.
16. The differential equation for the first container is dT1 /dt = k1 (T1 − 0) = k1 T1 , whose solution is T1 (t) = c1 ek1 t .
Since T1 (0) = 100 (the initial temperature of the metal bar), we have 100 = c1 and T1 (t) = 100ek1 t . After 1
minute, T1 (1) = 100ek1 = 90◦ C, so k1 = ln 0.9 and T1 (t) = 100et ln 0.9 . After 2 minutes, T1 (2) = 100e2 ln 0.9 =
100(0.9)2 = 81◦ C.
The differential equation for the second container is dT2 /dt = k2 (T2 − 100), whose solution is T2 (t) =
100 + c2 ek2 t . When the metal bar is immersed in the second container, its initial temperature is T2 (0) = 81, so
T2 (0) = 100 + c2 ek2 (0) = 100 + c2 = 81
65
2.7

and c2 = −19. Thus, T2 (t) = 100 − 19ek2 t . After 1 minute in the second tank, the temperature of the metal
bar is 91◦ C, so
T2 (1) = 100 − 19ek2 = 91
9
ek2 =

k2 = ln

and T2 (t) = 100 − 19et ln(9/19) . Setting T2 (t) = 99.9 we have

0.1
et ln(9/19) =

ln(9/19)
Thus, from the start of the “double dipping” process, the total time until the bar reaches 99.9◦ C in the second
container is approximately 9.02 minutes.
17. Using separation of variables to solve dT /dt = k(T − Tm ) we get T (t) = Tm + cekt . Using T (0) = 70 we find
c = 70 − Tm , so T (t) = Tm + (70 − Tm )ekt . Using the given observations, we obtain
T
"1#

T (1) = Tm + (70 − Tm )ek = 145.

Tm = 390.
The temperature in the oven is 390◦ .
18. (a) The initial temperature of the bath is Tm (0) = 60◦ , so in the short term the temperature of the chemical,
which starts at 80◦ , should decrease or cool. Over time, the temperature of the bath will increase toward
100◦ since e−0.1t decreases from 1 toward 0 as t increases from 0. Thus, in the long term, the temperature
of the chemical should increase or warm toward 100◦ .

Now T (0) = 80 so 100 + c = 80, c = −20 and
T (t) = 100 − 4te−0.1t − 20e−0.1t = 100 − (4t + 20)e−0.1t .
The thinner curve verifies the prediction of cooling followed by warming toward 100◦ . The wider curve shows
the temperature Tm of the liquid bath.
19. From dA/dt = 4 − A/50 we obtain A = 200 + ce−t/50 .
A = 200 − 170e−t/50 .
If A(0) = 30 then c = −170 and
20. From dA/dt = 0 − A/50 we obtain A = ce−t/50 . If A(0) = 30 then c = 30 and A = 30e−t/50 .
21. From dA/dt = 10 − A/100 we obtain A = 1000 + ce−t/100 . If A(0) = 0 then c = −1000 and A(t) =
1000 − 1000e−t/100 .
22. From Problem 21 the number of pounds of salt in the tank at time t is A(t) = 1000 − 1000e−t/100 . The
concentration at time t is c(t) = A(t)/500 = 2 − 2e−t/100 . Therefore c(5) = 2 − 2e−1/20 = 0.0975 lb/gal and
limt→∞ c(t) = 2. Solving c(t) = 1 = 2 − 2e−t/100 for t we obtain t = 100 ln 2 ≈ 69.3 min.

26. (a) Initially the tank contains 300 gallons of solution. Since brine is pumped in at a rate of 3 gal/min and the
mixture is pumped out at a rate of 2 gal/min, the net change is an increase of 1 gal/min. Thus, in 100
minutes the tank will contain its capacity of 400 gallons.
(b) The differential equation describing the amount of salt in the tank is A′ (t) = 6 − 2A/(300 + t) with solution
A(t) = 600 + 2t − (4.95 × 107 )(300 + t)−2 ,
0 ≤ t ≤ 100,
as noted in the discussion following Example 5 in the text. Thus, the amount of salt in the tank when it
overflows is
A(100) = 800 − (4.95 × 107 )(400)−2 = 490.625 lbs.
(c) When the tank is overflowing the amount of salt in the tank is governed by the differential equation

A(t) = 800 − 654.947e−3t/400 .
When t = 150, A(150) = 587.37 lbs.

(b) Integrating again and using s(0) = 0 we get s(t) = −16t2 + 300t. The maximum height is attained when

35. When air resistance is proportional to velocity, the model for the velocity is m dv/dt = −mg − kv (using the
fact that the positive direction is upward.) Solving the differential equation using separation of variables we

Setting k = 0.0025, m = 16/32 = 0.5, and g = 32 we have
s(t) = 1,340,000 − 6,400t − 1,340,000e−0.005t
and
v(t) = −6,400 + 6,700e−0.005t .
The maximum height is attained when v = 0, that is, at ta = 9.162. The maximum height will be s(9.162) =
1363.79 ft, which is less than the maximum height in Problem 34.
36. Assuming that the air resistance is proportional to velocity and the positive direction is downward with s(0) = 0,
the model for the velocity is m dv/dt = mg − kv. Using separation of variables to solve this differential
equation, we obtain v(t) = mg/k + ce−kt/m . Then, using v(0) = 0, we get v(t) = (mg/k)(1 − e−kt/m ).
Letting k = 0.5, m = (125 + 35)/32 = 5, and g = 32, we have v(t) = 320(1 − e−0.1t ). Integrating,
we find s(t) = 320t + 3200e−0.1t + c1 . Solving s(0) = 0 for c1 we find c1 = −3200, therefore s(t) =
320t + 3200e−0.1t − 3200. At t = 15, when the parachute opens, v(15) = 248.598 and s(15) = 2314.02.
At this time the value of k changes to k = 10 and the new initial velocity is v0 = 248.598. With the parachute
open, the skydiver’s velocity is vp (t) = mg/k + c2 e−kt/m , where t is reset to 0 when the parachute opens.
Letting m = 5, g = 32, and k = 10, this gives vp (t) = 16 + c2 e−2t . From v(0) = 248.598 we find c2 = 232.598,
so vp (t) = 16 + 232.598e−2t . Integrating, we get sp (t) = 16t − 116.299e−2t + c3 . Solving sp (0) = 0 for c3 ,
we find c3 = 116.299, so sp (t) = 16t − 116.299e−2t + 116.299. Twenty seconds after leaving the plane is five
seconds after the parachute opens. The skydiver’s velocity at this time is vp (5) = 16.0106 ft/s and she has
fallen a total of s(15) + sp (5) = 2314.02 + 196.294 = 2510.31 ft. Her terminal velocity is limt→∞ vp (t) = 16, so
she has very nearly reached her terminal velocity five seconds after the parachute opens. When the parachute
opens, the distance to the ground is 15,000 − s(15) = 15,000 − 2,314 = 12,686 ft. Solving sp (t) = 12,686 we
get t = 785.6 s = 13.1 min. Thus, it will take her approximately 13.1 minutes to reach the ground after her
parachute has opened and a total of (785.6 + 15)/60 = 13.34 minutes after she exits the plane.

(c) If r = 0.007 ft when t = 10 s, then solving r(10) = 0.007 for k/ρ, we obtain k/ρ = −0.0003 and r(t) =
0.01 − 0.0003t. Solving r(t) = 0 we get t = 33.3, so the raindrop will have evaporated completely at
33.3 seconds.
38. Separating variables, we obtain dP/P = k cos t dt, so
ln |P | = k sin t + c
and
P = c1 ek sin t .
If P (0) = P0 , then c1 = P0 and P = P0 ek sin t .
39. (a) From dP/dt = (k1 − k2 )P we obtain P = P0 e(k1 −k2 )t where P0 = P (0).
(b) If k1 > k2 then P → ∞ as t → ∞. If k1 = k2 then P = P0 for every t. If k1 < k2 then P → 0 as t → ∞.
40. (a) Solving k1 (M − A) − k2 A = 0 for A we find the equilibrium solution

approaches a temperature of 70◦ F. The bar taken from the room and placed in the oven has an initial temperature

where µmg cos θ is the component of the force of sliding friction (which acts perpendicular to the plane)

the direction opposite to that of motion.

The last differential equation is linear and has solution v(t) = 48 + c1 e−t/12 . Since v(0) = 0, we find
c1 = −48, so v(t) = 48 − 48e−t/12 .
45. (a) (i) If s(t) is distance measured down the plane from the highest point, then ds/dt = v. Integrating
ds/dt = 16t gives s(t) = 8t2 + c2 . Using s(0) = 0 then gives c2 = 0. Now the length L of the plane is
L = 50/ sin 30◦ = 100 ft. The time it takes the box to slide completely down the plane is the solution of
s(t) = 100 or t2 = 25/2, so t ≈ 3.54 s.
(ii) Integrating ds/dt = 4t gives s(t) = 2t2 + c2 . Using s(0) = 0 gives c2 = 0, so s(t) = 2t2 and the solution
of s(t) = 100 is now t ≈ 7.07 s.
(iii) Integrating ds/dt = 48 − 48e−t/12 and using s(0) = 0 to determine the constant of integration, we
obtain s(t) = 48t + 576e−t/12 − 576. With the aid of a CAS we find that the solution of s(t) = 100, or
100 = 48t + 576e−t/12 − 576
or
0 = 48t + 576e−t/12 − 676,
is now t ≈ 7.84 s.
(b) The differential equation m dv/dt = mg sin θ − µmg cos θ can be written
m
dv
= mg cos θ(tan θ − µ).
dt
If tan θ = µ, dv/dt = 0 and v(0) = 0 implies that v(t) = 0. If tan θ < µ and v(0) = 0, then integration
implies v(t) = g cos θ(tan θ − µ)t < 0 for all time t.
√
(c) Since tan 23◦ = 0.4245 and µ = 3/4 = 0.4330, we see that tan 23◦ < 0.4330. The differential equation
√
is dv/dt = 32 cos 23◦ (tan 23◦ − 3/4) = −0.251493. Integration and the use of the initial condition gives
v(t) = −0.251493t + 1. When the box stops, v(t) = 0 or 0 = −0.251493t + 1 or t = 3.976254 s. From
s(t) = −0.125747t2 + t we find s(3.976254) = 1.988119 ft.
(d) With v0 > 0, v(t) = −0.251493t + v0 and s(t) = −0.125747t2 + v0 t. Because two real positive solutions
of the equation s(t) = 100, or 0 = −0.125747t2 + v0 t − 100, would be physically meaningless, we use
the quadratic formula and require that b2 − 4ac = 0 or v02 − 50.2987 = 0. From this last equality we
find v0 ≈ 7.092164 ft/s. For the time it takes the box to traverse the entire inclined plane, we must
have 0 = −0.125747t2 + 7.092164t − 100. Mathematica gives complex roots for the last equation: t =
28.2001 ± 0.0124458i. But, for
0 = −0.125747t2 + 7.092164691t − 100,
73
2.7
Linear Models
the roots are t = 28.1999 s and t = 28.2004 s. So if v0 > 7.092164, we are guaranteed that the box will slide
completely down the plane.
46. (a) We saw in part (b) of Problem 34 that the ascent time is ta = 9.375. To find when the cannonball hits the
ground we solve s(t) = −16t2 + 300t = 0, getting a total time in flight of t = 18.75 s. Thus, the time of
descent is td = 18.75 − 9.375 = 9.375. The impact velocity is vi = v(18.75) = −300, which has the same
magnitude as the initial velocity.
(b) We saw in Problem 35 that the ascent time in the case of air resistance is ta = 9.162. Solving s(t) =
1,340,000 − 6,400t − 1,340,000e−0.005t = 0 we see that the total time of flight is 18.466 s. Thus, the descent
time is td = 18.466 − 9.162 = 9.304. The impact velocity is vi = v(18.466) = −290.91, compared to an
initial velocity of v0 = 300.

25. While the object is in the air its velocity is modeled by the linear differential equation m dv/dt = mg −kv. Using

is e dt/640 = et/640 and the solution of the differential equation is et/640 v = 32et/640 dt = 20,480et/640 + c.
Using v(0) = 0 we see that c = −20,480 and v(t) = 20,480 − 20,480e−t/640 . Integrating we get s(t) = 20,480t +
13,107,200e−t/640 + c. Since s(0) = 0, c = −13,107,200 and s(t) = −13,107,200 + 20,480t + 13,107,200e−t/640 .

modeled by the nonlinear differential equation m dv/dt = mg − kv 2 . Using m = 160, g = 32, and k = 0.1 this
becomes dv/dt = (51,200 − v 2 )/1600. Separating variables and integrating we have

days. To determine the half-life of B we use t = 50 as a base,
since at this time the amount of substance A is so small that it
contributes very little to substance B. Now we see from the graph
that y(50) ≈ 16.2 and y(191) ≈ 8.1. Thus, the half-life of B is
approximately 141 days.

sense because most of A and half of B are gone, so half of C should have been formed.

15. We first note that s(t) + i(t) + r(t) = n. Now the rate of change of the number of susceptible persons, s(t),
is proportional to the number of contacts between the number of people infected and the number who are

susceptible; that is, ds/dt = −k1 si. We use −k1 < 0 because s(t) is decreasing. Next, the rate of change of
the number of persons who have recovered is proportional to the number infected; that is, dr/dt = k2 i where
k2 > 0 since r is increasing. Finally, to obtain di/dt we use

A reasonable set of initial conditions is i(0) = i0 , the number of infected people at time 0, s(0) = n − i0 , and
r(0) = 0.

(b) In this case the system is

We also note that when i(0) = i0 , s(0) = 10 − i0 since r(0) = 0 and i(t) + s(t) + r(t) = 0 for all values of
t. Now k2 /k1 = 0.7/0.2 = 3.5, so we consider initial conditions s(0) = 2, i(0) = 8; s(0) = 3.4, i(0) = 6.6;
s(0) = 7, i(0) = 3; and s(0) = 9, i(0) = 1.

We see that an initial susceptible population greater than k2 /k1 results in an epidemic in the sense that
the number of infected persons increases to a maximum before decreasing to 0. On the other hand, when
s(0) < k2 /k1 , the number of infected persons decreases from the start and there is no epidemic.

16. Letting M = 2r2 cos θ sin θ + r cos θ and N = 4r + sin θ − 2r cos2 θ we see that Mr = 4r cos θ sin θ + cos θ = Nθ ,
so the differential equation is exact. From fθ = 2r2 cos θ sin θ + r cos θ we obtain f = −r2 cos2 θ + r sin θ + h(r).
Then fr = −2r cos2 θ + sin θ + h′ (r) = 4r + sin θ − 2r cos2 θ and h′ (r) = 4r so h(r) = 2r2 . The solution is
−r2 cos2 θ + r sin θ + 2r2 = c.

1. From y = c1 ex + c2 e−x we find y ′ = c1 ex − c2 e−x . Then y(0) = c1 + c2 = 0, y ′ (0) = c1 − c2 = 1 so that c1 =

and c2 = − 21 . The solution is y = 12 ex − 21 e−x .
2. From y = c1 e4x + c2 e−x we find y ′ = 4c1 e4x − c2 e−x . Then y(0) = c1 + c2 = 1, y ′ (0) = 4c1 − c2 = 2 so that
c1 = 53 and c2 = 25 . The solution is y = 53 e4x + 52 e−x .
3. From y = c1 x + c2 x ln x we find y ′ = c1 + c2 (1 + ln x). Then y(1) = c1 = 3, y ′ (1) = c1 + c2 = −1 so that c1 = 3
and c2 = −4. The solution is y = 3x − 4x ln x.
4. From y = c1 + c2 cos x + c3 sin x we find y ′ = −c2 sin x + c3 cos x and y ′′ = −c2 cos x − c3 sin x. Then y(π) =
c1 − c2 = 0, y ′ (π) = −c3 = 2, y ′′ (π) = c2 = −1 so that c1 = −1, c2 = −1, and c3 = −2. The solution is
y = −1 − cos x − 2 sin x.
5. From y = c1 + c2 x2 we find y ′ = 2c2 x. Then y(0) = c1 = 0, y ′ (0) = 2c2 · 0 = 0 and hence y ′ (0) = 1 is not
possible. Since a2 (x) = x is 0 at x = 0, Theorem 3.1 is not violated.
6. In this case we have y(0) = c1 = 0, y ′ (0) = 2c2 · 0 = 0 so c1 = 0 and c2 is arbitrary. Two solutions are y = x2
and y = 2x2 .
7. From x(0) = x0 = c1 we see that x(t) = x0 cos ωt + c2 sin ωt and x′ (t) = −x0 sin ωt + c2 ω cos ωt. Then
x′ (0) = x1 = c2 ω implies c2 = x1 /ω. Thus
x1
x(t) = x0 cos ωt +
sin ωt.

8. Solving the system
x(t0 ) = c1 cos ωt0 + c2 sin ωt0 = x0
x′ (t0 ) = −c1 ω sin ωt0 + c2 ω cos ωt0 = x1

(b) We have y(0) = c3 cosh 0 + c4 sinh 0 = c3 = 0 and y(1) = c3 cosh 1 + c4 sinh 1 = c4 sinh 1 = 1, so c3 = 0 and
c4 = 1/ sinh 1. The solution is y = (sinh x)/(sinh 1).

12. In this case we have y(0) = c1 = 1, y ′ (1) = 2c2 = 6 so that c1 = 1 and c2 = 3. The solution is y = 1 + 3x2 .
13. From y = c1 ex cos x + c2 ex sin x we find y ′ = c1 ex (− sin x + cos x) + c2 ex (cos x + sin x).
(a) We have y(0) = c1 = 1, y ′ (0) = c1 +c2 = 0 so that c1 = 1 and c2 = −1. The solution is y = ex cos x−ex sin x.
(b) We have y(0) = c1 = 1, y(π) = −eπ = −1, which is not possible.
(c) We have y(0) = c1 = 1, y(π/2) = c2 eπ/2 = 1 so that c1 = 1 and c2 = e−π/2 . The solution is y =

(d) We have y(0) = c1 = 0, y(π) = c2 eπ sin π = 0 so that c1 = 0 and c2 is arbitrary. Solutions are y = c2 ex sin x,
for any real numbers c2 .
14. (a) We have y(−1) = c1 + c2 + 3 = 0, y(1) = c1 + c2 + 3 = 4, which is not possible.
(b) We have y(0) = c1 · 0 + c2 · 0 + 3 = 1, which is not possible.
(c) We have y(0) = c1 · 0 + c2 · 0 + 3 = 3, y(1) = c1 + c2 + 3 = 0 so that c1 is arbitrary and c2 = −3 − c1 .
Solutions are y = c1 x2 − (c1 + 3)x4 + 3.
(d) We have y(1) = c1 + c2 + 3 = 3, y(2) = 4c1 + 16c2 + 3 = 15 so that c1 = −1 and c2 = 1. The solution is
y = −x2 + x4 + 3.
15. Since (−4)x + (3)x2 + (1)(4x − 3x2 ) = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent.
16. Since (1)0 + (0)x + (0)ex = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent. A similar argument shows that any set
of functions containing f (x) = 0 will be linearly dependent.
17. Since (−1/5)5 + (1) cos2 x + (1) sin2 x = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent.
18. Since (1) cos 2x + (1)1 + (−2) cos2 x = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent.
19. Since (−4)x + (3)(x − 1) + (1)(x + 3) = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent.
20. From the graphs of f1 (x) = 2 + x and f2 (x) = 2 + |x| we
see that the set of functions is linearly independent since
they cannot be multiples of each other.
21. Suppose c1 (1 + x) + c2 x + c3 x2 = 0. Then c1 + (c1 + c2 )x + c3 x2 = 0 and so c1 = 0, c1 + c2 = 0, and c3 = 0.
Since c1 = 0 we also have c2 = 0. Thus, the set of functions is linearly independent.
22. Since (−1/2)ex + (1/2)e−x + (1) sinh x = 0 the set of functions is linearly dependent.

x − 61 x is a particular solution of the nonhomogeneous equation.
35. (a) We have yp′ 1 = 6e2x and yp′′1 = 12e2x , so
yp′′1 − 6yp′ 1 + 5yp1 = 12e2x − 36e2x + 15e2x = −9e2x .
Also, yp′ 2 = 2x + 3 and yp′′2 = 2, so
yp′′2 − 6yp′ 2 + 5yp2 = 2 − 6(2x + 3) + 5(x2 + 3x) = 5x2 + 3x − 16.
(b) By the superposition principle for nonhomogeneous equations a particular solution of y ′′ − 6y ′ + 5y =

37. (a) Since D2 x = 0, x and 1 are solutions of y ′′ = 0. Since they are linearly independent, the general solution
is y = c1 x + c2 .
(b) Since D3 x2 = 0, x2 , x, and 1 are solutions of y ′′′ = 0. Since they are linearly independent, the general
solution is y = c1 x2 + c2 x + c3 .
(c) Since D4 x3 = 0, x3 , x2 , x, and 1 are solutions of y (4) = 0. Since they are linearly independent, the general
solution is y = c1 x3 + c2 x2 + c3 x + c4 .
(d) By part (a), the general solution of y ′′ = 0 is yc = c1 x + c2 . Since D2 x2 = 2! = 2, yp = x2 is a particular
solution of y ′′ = 2. Thus, the general solution is y = c1 x + c2 + x2 .
(e) By part (b), the general solution of y ′′′ = 0 is yc = c1 x2 + c2 x + c3 . Since D3 x3 = 3! = 6, yp = x3 is a
particular solution of y ′′′ = 6. Thus, the general solution is y = c1 x2 + c2 x + c3 + x3 .
(f ) By part (c), the general solution of y (4) = 0 is yc = c1 x3 + c2 x2 + c3 x + c4 . Since D4 x4 = 4! = 24, yp = x4
is a particular solution of y (4) = 24. Thus, the general solution is y = c1 x3 + c2 x2 + c3 x + c4 + x4 .

39. (a) From the graphs of y1 = x3 and y2 = |x|3 we see
that the functions are linearly independent since they
cannot be multiples of each other. It is easily shown
that y1 = x3 is a solution of x2 y ′′ − 4xy ′ + 6y = 0. To
show that y2 = |x|3 is a solution let y2 = x3 for x ≥ 0
and let y2 = −x3 for x < 0.
(b) If x ≥ 0 then y2 = x3 and

This does not violate Theorem 3.3 since a2 (x) = x2 is zero at x = 0.
(c) The functions Y1 = x3 and Y2 = x2 are solutions of x2 y ′′ − 4xy ′ + 6y = 0. They are linearly independent

since W x3 , x2 = x4 ̸= 0 for −∞ < x < ∞.
(d) The function y = x3 satisfies y(0) = 0 and y ′ (0) = 0.
(e) Neither is the general solution on (−∞, ∞) since we form a general solution on an interval for which
a2 (x) ̸= 0 for every x in the interval.
40. Since ex−3 = e−3 ex = (e−5 e2 )ex = e−5 ex+2 , we see that ex−3 is a constant multiple of ex+2 and the set of
functions is linearly dependent.
41. Since 0y1 + 0y2 + · · · + 0yk + 1yk+1 = 0, the set of solutions is linearly dependent.
42. The set of solutions is linearly dependent. Suppose n of the solutions are linearly independent (if not, then the
set of n + 1 solutions is linearly dependent). Without loss of generality, let this set be y1 , y2 , . . . , yn . Then
y = c1 y1 + c2 y2 + · · · + cn yn is the general solution of the nth-order differential equation and for some choice,
c∗1 , c∗2 , . . . , c∗n , of the coefficients yn+1 = c∗1 y1 + c∗2 y2 + · · · + c∗n yn . But then the set y1 , y2 , . . . , yn , yn+1 is
linearly dependent.
EXERCISES 3.2
Reduction of Order
In Problems 1-8 we use reduction of order to find a second solution. In Problems 9-16 we use formula (5) from the
text.
1. Define y = u(x)e2x so
y ′ = 2ue2x + u′ e2x ,
y ′′ = e2x u′′ + 4e2x u′ + 4e2x u,
and y ′′ − 4y ′ + 4y = e2x u′′ = 0.
Therefore u′′ = 0 and u = c1 x + c2 . Taking c1 = 1 and c2 = 0 we see that a second solution is y2 = xe2x .

2. Define y = u(x)xe−x so
y ′ = (1 − x)e−x u + xe−x u′ ,
y ′′ = xe−x u′′ + 2(1 − x)e−x u′ − (2 − x)e−x u,
and
y ′′ + 2y ′ + y = e−x (xu′′ + 2u′ ) = 0 or u′′ +
2 ′
u = 0.

If w = u′ we obtain the linear first-order equation w′ + w = 0 which has the integrating factor
x
&
e2 dx/x = x2 . Now
d 2
[x w] = 0 gives x2 w = c.
dx

Therefore w = u′ = c/x2 and u = c1 /x. A second solution is y2 = xe−x = e−x .
x
3. Define y = u(x) cos 4x so
y ′ = −4u sin 4x + u′ cos 4x,
y ′′ = u′′ cos 4x − 8u′ sin 4x − 16u cos 4x
and
y ′′ + 16y = (cos 4x)u′′ − 8(sin 4x)u′ = 0 or u′′ − 8(tan 4x)u′ = 0.
If w& = u′ we obtain the linear first-order equation w′ − 8(tan 4x)w = 0 which has the integrating factor
e−8 tan 4x dx = cos2 4x. Now
d
[(cos2 4x)w] = 0 gives (cos2 4x)w = c.
dx
Therefore w = u′ = c sec2 4x and u = c1 tan 4x. A second solution is y2 = tan 4x cos 4x = sin 4x.
4. Define y = u(x) sin 3x so
y ′ = 3u cos 3x + u′ sin 3x,
y ′′ = u′′ sin 3x + 6u′ cos 3x − 9u sin 3x,
and
y ′′ + 9y = (sin 3x)u′′ + 6(cos 3x)u′ = 0 or u′′ + 6(cot 3x)u′ = 0.
If &w = u′ we obtain the linear first-order equation w′ + 6(cot 3x)w = 0 which has the integrating factor
e6 cot 3x dx = sin2 3x. Now
d
[(sin2 3x)w] = 0 gives (sin2 3x)w = c.
dx
Therefore w = u′ = c csc2 3x and u = c1 cot 3x. A second solution is y2 = cot 3x sin 3x = cos 3x.
5. Define y = u(x) cosh x so
y ′ = u sinh x + u′ cosh x,
y ′′ = u′′ cosh x + 2u′ sinh x + u cosh x
and
y ′′ − y = (cosh x)u′′ + 2(sinh x)u′ = 0 or u′′ + 2(tanh x)u′ = 0.
If &w = u′ we obtain the linear first-order equation w′ + 2(tanh x)w = 0 which has the integrating factor
e2 tanh x dx = cosh2 x. Now
d
[(cosh2 x)w] = 0 gives (cosh2 x)w = c.
dx
Therefore w = u′ = c sech2 x and u = c tanh x. A second solution is y2 = tanh x cosh x = sinh x.
6. Define y = u(x)e5x so
y ′ = 5e5x u + e5x u′ ,
y ′′ = e5x u′′ + 10e5x u′ + 25e5x u

y ′′ − 25y = e5x (u′′ + 10u′ ) = 0

10 dx
e

d 10x
[e w] = 0 gives e10x w = c.
dx
Therefore w = u′ = ce−10x and u = c1 e−10x . A second solution is y2 = e−10x e5x = e−5x .
7. Define y = u(x)e2x/3 so
y′ =

y ′′ = e2x/3 u′′ + e2x/3 u′ + e2x/3 u

and
9y ′′ − 12y ′ + 4y = 9e2x/3 u′′ = 0.
Therefore u′′ = 0 and u = c1 x + c2 . Taking c1 = 1 and c2 = 0 we see that a second solution is y2 = xe2x/3 .
8. Define y = u(x)ex/3 so
y′ =

y ′′ = ex/3 u′′ + ex/3 u′ + ex/3 u

If w = u we obtain the linear first-order equation w + 6 w = 0 which has the integrating factor

e(5/6) dx = e5x/6 . Now

[e
w] = 0 gives e5x/6 w = c.

Therefore w = u′ = ce−5x/6 and u = c1 e−5x/6 . A second solution is y2 = e−5x/6 ex/3 = e−x/2 .

Thus, y1 = em1 x will be a solution of the differential equation whenever am21 +bm1 +c = 0. Since a quadratic

2π. Thus, the differential equation is (d).
48. The differential equation should have the form y ′′ + k 2 y = 0 where k = 2 so that the period of the solution is
π. Thus, the differential equation is (b).

51. From the solution y1 = e−4x cos x we conclude that m1 = −4 + i and m2 = −4 − i are roots of the auxiliary
equation. Hence another solution must be y2 = e−4x sin x. Now dividing the polynomial m3 + 6m2 + m − 34 by
..
m − (−4 + i) m − (−4 − i) = m2 + 8m + 17 gives m − 2. Therefore m3 = 2 is the third root of the auxiliary
equation, and the general solution of the differential equation is

54. The auxiliary equation is m2 + α = 0 and we consider three cases where λ = 0, λ = α2 > 0, and λ = −α2 < 0:
Case I When α = 0 the general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 + c2 x. The boundary conditions
imply 0 = y(0) = c1 and 0 = y(π/2) = c2 π/2, so that c1 = c2 = 0 and the problem possesses only the trivial
solution.
Case II When λ = −α2 < 0 the general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 eα x + c2 e−α x , or
alternatively, y = c1 cosh α x + c2 sinh α x. Again, y(0) = 0 implies c1 = 0 so y = c2 sinh α x. The second
boundary condition implies 0 = y(π/2) = c2 sinh α π/2 or c2 = 0. In this case also, the problem possesses only
the trivial solution.
When λ = α2 > 0 the general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 cos α x + c2 sin α x.
In this case also, y(0) = 0 yields c1 = 0, so that y = c2 sin α x. The second boundary condition implies
Case III
0 = c2 sin α π/2. When α π/2 is an integer multiple of π, that is, when α = 2k for k a nonzero integer, the
problem will have nontrivial solutions. Thus, for λ = α2 = 4k 2 the boundary-value problem will have nontrivial
solutions y = c2 sin 2kx, where k is a nonzero integer. On the other hand, when α is not an even integer, the
boundary-value problem will have only the trivial solution.

Homogeneous Linear Equations with Constant Coefficients
If k < 1, k ̸= 0, the solution of the differential equation is a pair of exponential functions, in which case
the original integrand is an exponential function and does not require integration by parts for its evaluation.
Similarly, if k = 1, f ′′ (x) = 0 and f (x) has the form f (x) = ax+b. In this case a single application of integration
by parts will suffice. Finally, if k > 1, the solution of the differential equation is

f (x) = c1 cos a k − 1 x + c2 sin a k − 1 x,

c2 = 0, so x(t) = x0 cosh(8t/ L ).

(c) When L = 20 and x0 = 1, x(t) = cosh(4t/ 5 ). The chain will last touch the peg when x(t) = 10.

aAk 2 ekx + bAkekx + cAekx = (ak 2 + bk + c)Aekx = ekx ,
so (ak 2 + bk + c)A = 1. Since k is not a root of am2 + bm + c = 0, A = 1/(ak 2 + bk + c).
(b) From yp = Axekx we find yp′ = Akxekx +Aekx and yp′′ = Ak 2 xekx +2Akekx . Substituting into the differential

where ak 2 +bk +c = 0 because k is a root of the auxiliary equation. Now, the roots of the auxiliary equation
√
are −b/2a ± b2 − 4ac /2a, and since k is a root of multiplicity one, k ̸= −b/2a and 2ak + b ̸= 0. Thus
(2ak + b)A = 1 and A = 1/(2ak + b).
(c) If k is a root of multiplicity two, then, as we saw in part (b), k = −b/2a and 2ak + b = 0. From yp = Ax2 ekx
we find yp′ = Akx2 ekx + 2Axekx and yp′′ = Ak 2 x2 ekx + 4Akxekx = 2Aekx . Substituting into the differential

Since the differential equation is second order, a ̸= 0 and A = 1/(2a).

yp = (Ax3 + Bx2 + Cx)e2x cos 2x + (Dx3 + Ex2 + F )e2x sin 2x. Substituting into the differential equation and

28. The auxiliary equation is m2 − 2m + 1 = (m − 1)2 = 0, which has repeated root 1, so yc = c1 ex + c2 xex .
We consider first the differential equation y ′′ − 2y ′ + y = 4x2 − 3, which can be solved using undetermined
coefficients. Letting yp1 = Ax2 + Bx + C and substituting into the differential equation we get
Ax2 + (−4A + B)x + (2A − 2B + C) = 4x2 − 3.
Then
A = 4,
−4A + B = 0,
and
2A − 2B + C = −3,
so A = 4, B = 16, and C = 21. Thus, yp1 = 4x2 + 16x + 21. Next we consider the differential equation

for −π/2 < ln x < π/2 or e−π/2 < x < eπ/2 . The bounds on ln x are due to the presence of sec(ln x) in the

of order. Let y = x2 u(x). Then the product rule gives
y ′ = x2 u′ + 2xu and y ′′ = x2 u′′ + 4xu′ + 2u,
so
x4 y ′′ + x3 y ′ − 4x2 y = x5 (xu′′ + 5u′ ) = 0.
Letting w = u′ , this becomes xw′ + 5w = 0. Separating variables and integrating we have

and
ln |w| = −5 ln x + c.
Thus, w = x−5 and u = − 41 x−4 . A second solution is then y2 = x2 x−4 = 1/x2 , and the general solution of the
homogeneous differential equation is yc = c1 x2 + c2 /x2 . To find a particular solution, yp , we use variation of

(m − 2)[m − (1 + i)][m − (1 − i)] = m3 − 4m2 + 6m − 4 = 0.
We need m3 − 4m2 + 6m − 4 to have the form m(m − 1)(m − 2) + bm(m − 1) + cm + d. Expanding this last
expression and equating coefficients we get b = −1, c = 3, and d = −4. Thus, the differential equation is
x3 y ′′′ − x2 y ′′ + 3xy ′ − 4y = 0.
41. For x2 y ′′ = 0 the auxiliary equation is m(m − 1) = 0 and the general solution is y = c1 + c2 x. The initial
conditions imply c1 = y0 and c2 = y1 , so y = y0 + y1 x. The initial conditions are satisfied for all real values of
y0 and y1 .
For x2 y ′′ − 2xy ′ + 2y = 0 the auxiliary equation is m2 − 3m + 2 = (m − 1)(m − 2) = 0 and the general solution
is y = c1 x + c2 x2 . The initial condition y(0) = y0 implies 0 = y0 and the condition y ′ (0) = y1 implies c1 = y1 .
Thus, the initial conditions are satisfied for y0 = 0 and for all real values of y1 .
For x2 y ′′ − 4xy ′ + 6y = 0 the auxiliary equation is m2 − 5m + 6 = (m − 2)(m − 3) = 0 and the general solution
is y = c1 x2 + c2 x3 . The initial conditions imply y(0) = 0 = y0 and y ′ (0) = 0. Thus, the initial conditions are
satisfied only for y0 = y1 = 0.

44. The auxiliary equation is m(m − 1)(m − 2) + 4m(m − 1) + 5m − 9 = 0, so that m1 = 1.40819 and the two
complex roots are −1.20409 ± 2.22291i. The general solution of the differential equation is
y = c1 x1.40819 + x−1.20409 [c2 cos(2.22291 ln x) + c3 sin(2.22291 ln x)].

that m1 = m2 = 3 + 2i and m3 = m4 = 3 − 2i. The general solution of the differential equation is
y = x3 [c1 cos(2 ln x) + c2 sin(2 ln x)] + x3 ln x[c3 cos(2 ln x) + c4 sin(2 ln x)].

From (y ′′ )2 − y 2 = 0 we have y ′′ = ±y, which can be treated as two linear equations. Since linear combinations
of solutions of linear homogeneous differential equations are also solutions, we see that y = c1 ex + c2 e−x and
y = c3 cos x + c4 sin x must satisfy the differential equation. However, linear combinations that involve both
exponential and trigonometric functions will not be solutions since the differential equation is not linear and each
type of function satisfies a different linear differential equation that is part of the original differential equation.

Linear Models: Initial-Value Problems
13. From k1 = 40 and k2 = 120 we compute the effective spring constant k = 4(40)(120)/160 = 120. Now,
m = 20/32 so k/m = 120(32)/20 = 192 and x′′ + 192x = 0. Using x(0) = 0 and x′ (0) = 2 we obtain
√
√
x(t) = 123 sin 8 3 t.
14. Let m be the mass and k1 and k2 the spring constants. Then k = 4k1 k2 /(k1 + k2 ) is the effective spring constant
of the system. Since the initial mass stretches one spring 13 foot and another spring 12 foot, using F = ks, we
have 31 k1 = 12 k2 or 2k1 = 3k2 . The given period of the combined system is 2π/ω = π/15, so ω = 30. Since a
mass weighing 8 pounds is 41 slug, we have from w2 = k/m
302 =
k
= 4k
1/4
or k = 225.
We now have the system of equations
4k1 k2
= 225
k1 + k2
2k1 = 3k2 .
Solving the second equation for k1 and substituting in the first equation, we obtain

15. For large values of t the differential equation is approximated by x′′ = 0. The solution of this equation is the
linear function x = c1 t + c2 . Thus, for large time, the restoring force will have decayed to the point where the
spring is incapable of returning the mass, and the spring will simply keep on stretching.
16. As t becomes larger the spring constant increases; that is, the spring is stiffening. It would seem that the
oscillations would become periodic and the spring would oscillate more rapidly. It is likely that the amplitudes
of the oscillations would decrease as t increases.

From Problem 50, then
ip (t) ≈ 4.1603 sin(60t + φ)
where sin φ = −X/Z and cos φ = R/Z. Thus tan φ = −X/R ≈ −0.6667 and φ is a fourth quadrant angle. Now
φ ≈ −0.5880 and
ip (t) = 4.1603 sin(60t − 0.5880).
52. Solving 21 q ′′ + 20q ′ + 1000q = 0 we obtain qc (t) = e−20t (c1 cos 40t + c2 sin 40t). The steady-state charge has the
form qp (t) = A sin 60t + B cos 60t + C sin 40t + D cos 40t. Substituting into the differential equation we find
(−1600A − 2400B) sin 60t + (2400A − 1600B) cos 60t
+ (400C − 1600D) sin 40t + (1600C + 400D) cos 40t
= 200 sin 60t + 400 cos 40t.
Equating coefficients we obtain A = −1/26, B = −3/52, C = 4/17, and D = 1/17. The steady-state charge is

q(0) = 1 and q ′ (0) = 0 imply c1 = c2 = −1/2. Thus

q(t) = − e−10t (cos 10t + sin 10t) + .

As t → ∞, q(t) → 3/2.
54. In Problem 50 it is shown that the amplitude of the steady-state current is E0 /Z, where
√
Z = X 2 + R2 and X = Lγ − 1/Cγ. Since E0 is constant the amplitude will be a maximum when Z is
a minimum. Since R is constant, Z will be a minimum when X = 0. Solving Lγ − 1/Cγ = 0 for γ we obtain
√
γ = 1/ LC . The maximum amplitude will be E0 /R.

55. By Problem 50 the amplitude of the steady-state current is E0 /Z, where Z = X 2 + R2 and X = Lγ − 1/Cγ.
Since E0 is constant the amplitude will be a maximum when Z is a minimum. Since R is constant, Z will be a
minimum when X = 0. Solving Lγ − 1/Cγ = 0 for C we obtain C = 1/Lγ 2 .
56. Solving 0.1q ′′ + 10q = 100 sin γt we obtain
q(t) = c1 cos 10t + c2 sin 10t + qp (t)
where qp (t) = A sin γt + B cos γt. Substituting qp (t) into the differential equation we find
(100 − γ 2 )A sin γt + (100 − γ 2 )B cos γt = 100 sin γt.
Equating coefficients we obtain A = 100/(100 − γ 2 ) and B = 0. Thus, qp (t) =

13. For λ = −α2 < 0 the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0. For λ = 0 we have y = c1 x + c2 .
Now y ′ = c1 and y ′ (0) = 0 implies c1 = 0. Then y = c2 and y ′ (π) = 0. Thus, λ = 0 is an eigenvalue with
corresponding eigenfunction y = 1.
For λ = α2 > 0 we have
y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx.
Now
y ′ (x) = −c1 α sin αx + c2 α cos αx
and y ′ (0) = 0 implies c2 = 0, so
y ′ (π) = −c1 α sin απ = 0
gives

For λ = −α2 < 0 we have
y = e−x (c1 cosh αx + c2 sinh αx) .
The boundary conditions imply
y(0) = c1 = 0
y(5) = c2 e−5 sinh 5α = 0
so c1 = c2 = 0 and the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.
For λ = 0 we have
y = c1 e−x + c2 xe−x
and the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.
For λ = α2 > 0 we have
y = e−x (c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx) .
Now y(0) = 0 implies c1 = 0, so

16. For λ < −1 the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0. For λ = −1 we have y = c1 x + c2 .
Now y ′ = c1 and y ′ (0) = 0 implies c1 = 0. Then y = c2 and y ′ (1) = 0. Thus, λ = −1 is an eigenvalue with
5α = nπ
or λ = α2 =
corresponding eigenfunction y = 1.
For λ > −1 or λ + 1 = α2 > 0 we have
y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx.
Now
y ′ = −c1 α sin αx + c2 α cos αx
and y ′ (0) = 0 implies c2 = 0, so
y ′ (1) = −c1 α sin α = 0
gives
α = nπ,
λ + 1 = α 2 = n2 π 2 ,

17. For λ = α2 > 0 a general solution of the given differential equation is
y = c1 cos(α ln x) + c2 sin(α ln x).
Since ln 1 = 0, the boundary condition y(1) = 0 implies c1 = 0. Therefore
y = c2 sin(α ln x).
Using ln eπ = π we find that y (eπ ) = 0 implies
c2 sin απ = 0
or απ = nπ, n = 1, 2, 3, . . . . The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are, in turn,
λ = α 2 = n2 ,
n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
and y = sin(n ln x).
For λ ≤ 0 the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.
18. For λ = 0 the general solution is y = c1 + c2 ln x. Now y ′ = c2 /x, so y ′ (e−1 ) = c2 e = 0 implies c2 = 0. Then
y = c1 and y(1) = 0 gives c1 = 0. Thus y(x) = 0.
For λ = −α2 < 0, y = c1 x−α + c2 xα . The boundary conditions give c2 = c1 e2α and c1 = 0, so that c2 = 0 and
y(x) = 0.
For λ = α2 > 0, y = c1 cos(α ln x) + c2 sin(α ln x). From y(1) = 0 we obtain c1 = 0 and y = c2 sin(α ln x).
Now y ′ = c2 (α/x) cos(α ln x), so y ′ (e−1 ) = c2 eα cos α = 0 implies cos α = 0 or α = (2n − 1)π/2 and λ = α2 =

is
y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx + c3 cosh αx + c4 sinh αx.
The boundary conditions y(0) = 0, y ′′ (0) = 0 give c1 + c3 = 0 and −c1 α2 + c3 α2 = 0, from which we conclude
c1 = c3 = 0. Thus, y = c2 sin αx + c4 sinh αx. The boundary conditions y(1) = 0, y ′′ (1) = 0 then give
c2 sin α + c4 sinh α = 0
−c2 α2 sin α + c4 α2 sinh α = 0.
In order to have nonzero solutions of this system, we must have the determinant of the coefficients equal zero,
that is,
%

% sin α

or
2α2 sinh α sin α = 0.
% −α2 sin α α2 sinh α % = 0
But since α > 0, the only way that this is satisfied is to have sin α = 0 or α = nπ. The system is then satisfied
by choosing c2 ̸= 0, c4 = 0, and α = nπ. The eigenvalues and corresponding eigenfunctions are then
λn = α4 = (nπ)4 , n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
and
y = sin nπx.

The boundary conditions y ′ (0) = 0, y ′′′ (0) = 0 give c2 α + c4 α = 0 and −c2 α3 + c4 α3 = 0 from which we conclude

23. If λ = α2 = P/EI, then the solution of the differential equation is
y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx + c3 x + c4 .
The conditions y(0) = 0, y ′′ (0) = 0 yield, in turn, c1 + c4 = 0 and c1 = 0. With c1 = 0 and c4 = 0 the solution
is y = c2 sin αx + c3 x. The conditions y(L) = 0, y ′′ (L) = 0, then yield
c2 sin αL + c3 L = 0
and
c2 sin αL = 0.
Hence, nontrivial solutions of the problem exist only if sin αL = 0. From this point on, the analysis is the same
as in Example 3 in the text.

y(0) = 0, y ′′ (0) = 0, y(L) = 0, y ′ (L) = 0,

the conditions y(0) = 0, y ′′ (0) = 0 yield c1 = 0 and c4 = 0. Next, by applying y(L) = 0, y ′ (L) = 0 to
y = c2 sin αx + c3 x we get the system of equations
c2 sin αL + c3 L = 0

βn = αn L =

x′′ + ω 2 x = 0,

is x(t) = (v0 /ω) sin ωt. To satisfy the additional boundary condition x(1) = 0 we require that ω = nπ,
n = 1, 2, 3, . . . . The eigenvalues λ = ω 2 = n2 π 2 and eigenfunctions of the problem are then x(t) =
(v0 /nπ) sin nπt. Using ω 2 = 10/m we find that the only masses that can pass through the equilibrium position at t = 1 are mn = 10/n2 π 2 . Note for n = 1, the heaviest mass m1 = 10/π 2 will not pass through the

graph passes through x = 0 only at t = 0 and t = 1). Whereas for n > 1, masses of lighter weight will pass
through the equilibrium position n − 1 times prior to passing through at t = 1. For example, if n = 2, the period
of x(t) = (v0 /2π) sin 2πt is 2π/2π = 1, the mass will pass through x = 0 only once (t = 12 ) prior to t = 1; if

31. (a) The general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 cos 4x + c2 sin 4x. From y0 = y(0) = c1 we see
that y = y0 cos 4x + c2 sin 4x. From y1 = y(π/2) = y0 we see that any solution must satisfy y0 = y1 . We
also see that when y0 = y1 , y = y0 cos 4x + c2 sin 4x is a solution of the boundary-value problem for any
choice of c2 . Thus, the boundary-value problem does not have a unique solution for any choice of y0 and
y1 .
(b) Whenever y0 = y1 there are infinitely many solutions.
(c) When y0 ̸= y1 there will be no solutions.
(d) The boundary-value problem will have the trivial solution when y0 = y1 = 0. This solution will not be
unique.
32. (a) The general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 cos 4x + c2 sin 4x. From 1 = y(0) = c1 we see that
y = cos 4x + c2 sin 4x. From 1 = y(L) = cos 4L + c2 sin 4L we see that c2 = (1 − cos 4L)/ sin 4L. Thus,

(b) There will be infinitely many solutions when sin 4L = 0 and 1 − cos 4L = 0; that is, when L = kπ/2 where
k = 1, 2, 3, . . . .
(c) There will be no solution when sin 4L ̸= 0 and 1 − cos 4L ̸= 0; that is, when L = kπ/4 where
k = 1, 3, 5, . . . .
(d) There can be no trivial solution since it would fail to satisfy the boundary conditions.
33. (a) A solution curve has the same y-coordinate at both ends of the interval [−π, π] and the tangent lines at the
endpoints of the interval are parallel.
(b) For λ = 0 the solution of y ′′ = 0 is y = c1 x + c2 . From the first boundary condition we have
y(−π) = −c1 π + c2 = y(π) = c1 π + c2
or 2c1 π = 0. Thus, c1 = 0 and y = c2 . This constant solution is seen to satisfy the boundary-value problem.
For λ = −α2 < 0 we have y = c1 cosh αx + c2 sinh αx. In this case the first boundary condition gives
y(−π) = c1 cosh(−απ) + c2 sinh(−απ)
= c1 cosh απ − c2 sinh απ
= y(π) = c1 cosh απ + c2 sinh απ
or 2c2 sinh απ = 0. Thus c2 = 0 and y = c1 cosh αx. The second boundary condition implies in a similar
fashion that c1 = 0. Thus, for λ < 0, the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.
168
3.9
Linear Models: Boundary-Value Problems
For λ = α2 > 0 we have y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx. The first boundary condition implies
y(−π) = c1 cos(−απ) + c2 sin(−απ)
= c1 cos απ − c2 sin απ
= y(π) = c1 cos απ + c2 sin απ
or 2c2 sin απ = 0. Similarly, the second boundary condition implies 2c1 α sin απ = 0. If c1 = c2 = 0 the
solution is y = 0. However, if c1 ̸= 0 or c2 ̸= 0, then sin απ = 0, which implies that α must be an integer, n.
Therefore, for c1 and c2 not both 0, y = c1 cos nx + c2 sin nx is a nontrivial solution of the boundary-value
problem. Since cos(−nx) = cos nx and sin(−nx) = − sin nx, we may assume without loss of generality
that the eigenvalues are λn = α2 = n2 , for n a positive integer. The corresponding eigenfunctions are
yn = cos nx and yn = sin nx.

differential equation y ′′ = 0 has general solution y = c1 x + c2 . The boundary
conditions imply c1 = c2 = 0, so y = 0.

37. In the case when λ = −α2 < 0, the solution of the differential equation
is y = c1 cosh αx + c2 sinh αx. The condition y(0) = 0 gives c1 = 0.
The condition y(1) − 21 y ′ (1) = 0 applied to y = c2 sinh αx gives
c2 (sinh α − 21 α cosh α) = 0 or tanh α = 12 α. As can be seen from
y
1
the figure, the graphs of y = tanh x and y = 12 x intersect at a single
point with approximate x-coordinate α1 = 1.915. Thus, there is a
single negative eigenvalue λ1 = −α12 ≈ −3.667 and the corresponding
eigenfuntion is y1 = sinh 1.915x.

For λ = 0 the only solution of the boundary-value problem is y = 0.
For λ = α2 > 0 the solution of the differential equation is y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx. The condition y(0) = 0
gives c1 = 0, so y = c2 sin αx. The condition y(1) − 12 y ′ (1) = 0 gives c2 (sin α − 21 α cos α) = 0, so the eigenvalues
are λn = αn2 when αn , n = 2, 3, 4, . . . , are the positive roots of tan α =
1
2 α.
Using a CAS we find that
the first three values of α are α2 = 4.27487, α3 = 7.59655, and α4 = 10.8127. The first three eigenvalues
are then λ2 = α22 = 18.2738, λ3 = α32 = 57.7075, and λ4 = α42 = 116.9139 with corresponding eigenfunctions
y2 = sin 4.27487x, y3 = sin 7.59655x, and y4 = sin 10.8127x.

The first two equations enable us to write
c1 (cos α − cosh α) + c2 (sin α − sinh α) = 0
c1 (− sin α − sinh α) + c2 (cos α − cosh α) = 0.
The determinant

simplifies to cos α cosh α = 1. From the figure showing the graphs of 1/ cosh x and cos x, we see that this
equation has an infinite number of positive roots. With the aid of a CAS the first four roots are found to
be α1 = 4.73004, α2 = 7.8532, α3 = 10.9956, and α4 = 14.1372, and the corresponding eigenvalues are
λ1 = 500.5636, λ2 = 3803.5281, λ3 = 14,617.5885, and λ4 = 39,944.1890. Using the third equation in the
system to eliminate c2 , we find that the eigenfunctions are
yn = (− sin αn + sinh αn )(cos αn x − cosh αn x) + (cos αn − cosh αn )(sin αn x − sinh αn x).

14. (a) Setting dy/dt = v, the differential equation in (13) becomes dv/dt = −gR2 /y 2 . But, by the chain rule,
dv/dt = (dv/dy)(dy/dt) = v dv/dt, so v dv/dy = −gR2 /y 2 . Separating variables and integrating we obtain

15. (a) Intuitively, one might expect that only half of a 10-pound chain could be lifted by a 5-pound vertical force.
3
√
(b) Since x = 0 when t = 0, and v = dx/dt = 160 − 64x/3 , we have v(0) = 160 ≈ 12.65 ft/s.
3
(c) Since x should always be positive, we solve x(t) = 0, getting t = 0 and t = 23 5/2 ≈ 2.3717. Since the
3
graph of x(t) is a parabola, the maximum value occurs at tm = 43 5/2 . (This can also be obtained by
solving x′ (t) = 0.) At this time the height of the chain is x(tm ) ≈ 7.5 ft. This is higher than predicted
because of the momentum generated by the force. When the chain is 5 feet high it still has a positive
velocity of about 7.3 ft/s, which keeps it going higher for a while.
16. (a) Setting dx/dt = v, the differential equation becomes (L − x)dv/dt − v 2 = Lg. But, by the Chain Rule,
dv/dt = (dv/dx)(dx/dt) = v dv/dx, so (L − x)v dv/dx − v 2 = Lg. Separating variables and integrating we

(c) The predicted velocity of the upper end of the chain when it hits the ground is infinity.
17. (a) The weight of x feet of the chain is 2x, so the corresponding mass is m = 2x/32 = x/16. The only force
acting on the chain is the weight of the portion of the chain hanging over the edge of the platform. Thus,

Now, by the Chain Rule, dv/dt = (dv/dx)(dx/dt) = v dv/dx, so
xv dv/dx + v 2 = 32x.
(b) We separate variables and write the differential equation as (v 2 − 32x) dx + xv dv = 0. This is not an exact
form, but µ(x) = x is an integrating factor. Multiplying by x we get (xv 2 − 32x2 ) dx + x2 v dv = 0. This

18. (a) There are two forces acting on the chain as it falls from the platform. One is the force due to gravity on
the portion of the chain hanging over the edge of the platform. This is F1 = 2x. The second is due to the
motion of the portion of the chain stretched out on the platform. By Newton’s second law this is

Solving for x we get x(t) = 3 cosh(2t + c1 ). Since x = 3 when t = 0, we have cosh c1 = 1 and c1 = 0. Thus,
x(t) = 3 cosh 2t. Differentiating, we find v(t) = dx/dt = 6 sinh 2t.

To see if the paths ever intersect we first note that if r > 1, then v1 > v2 and y → ∞ as x → 0+ . In other
words, S2 always lags behind S1 . Next, if r < 1, then v1 < v2 and y = ar/(1 − r2 ) when x = 0. In other words,
when the submarine’s speed is greater than the ship’s, their paths will intersect at the point (0, ar/(1 − r2 )).

20. (a) Let (r, θ) denote the polar coordinates of the destroyer S1 . When S1 travels the 6 miles from (9, 0) to (3, 0)
it stands to reason, since S2 travels half as fast as S1 , that the polar coordinates of S2 are (3, θ2 ), where θ2
is unknown. In other words, the distances of the ships from (0, 0) are the same and r(t) = 15t then gives
the radial distance of both ships. This is necessary if S1 is to intercept S2 .

21. Since (dx/dt)2 is always positive, it is necessary to use |dx/dt|(dx/dt) in order to account for the fact that the
motion is oscillatory and the velocity (or its square) should be negative when the spring is contracting.
22. (a) From the graph we see that the approximations appears to

be quite good for 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.4. Using an equation solver to
solve sin x − x = 0.05 and sin x − x = 0.005, we find that the

θ(t) = (π/12) cos t − (1/3) sin t.
Setting θ(t) = 0 we have tan t = π/4 which implies t1 = tan−1 (π/4) ≈ 0.66577.
(b) We set θ(t) = θ(0) + θ′ (0)t + 12 θ′′ (0)t2 + 16 θ′′′ (0)t3 + · · · and use θ′′ (t) = − sin θ(t) together with

To refine our estimate of t1 we estimate the solution of the differential equation on [1.7, 1.8] using a step size of
h = 0.01. From the resulting table we see that t1 is between 1.76 and 1.77 seconds. Repeating the process with
h = 0.001 we conclude that t1 ≈ 1.767. Then the period of the pendulum is approximately 4t1 = 7.068. The
error when using t1 = 2π is 7.068 − 6.283 = 0.785 and the percentage relative error is (0.785/7.068)100 = 11.1.

x − Dy + z = 0
x + y − Dz = 0.
Multiplying the second equation by D and adding to the third equation we obtain (D + 1)x − (D2 − 1)y = 0.
Eliminating y between this equation and Dx − 6y = 0 we find
(D3 − D − 6D − 6)x = (D + 1)(D + 2)(D − 3)x = 0.
Thus
x = c1 e−t + c2 e−2t + c3 e3t ,

Thus
x = c1 + c2 e−t + c3 te−t ,

21. From (D + 5)x + y = 0 and 4x − (D + 1)y = 0 we obtain y = −(D + 5)x so that Dy = −(D2 + 5D)x. Then
4x + (D2 + 5D)x + (D + 5)x = 0 and (D + 3)2 x = 0. Thus
x = c1 e−3t + c2 te−3t
y = −(2c1 + c2 )e−3t − 2c2 te−3t .
Using x(1) = 0 and y(1) = 1 we obtain
c1 e−3 + c2 e−3 = 0
−(2c1 + c2 )e−3 − 2c2 e−3 = 1
or
c1 + c2 = 0
2c1 + 3c2 = −e3 .
Thus c1 = e3 and c2 = −e3 . The solution of the initial value problem is
x = e−3t+3 − te−3t+3
y = −e−3t+3 + 2te−3t+3 .
22. From Dx − y = −1 and 3x + (D − 2)y = 0 we obtain x = − 31 (D − 2)y so that Dx = − 13 (D2 − 2D)y. Then

So tank B contains more salt than tank A for t > 13.73 minutes.

x2 = 0
−2x1 + (D2 + 2)x2 = 0.
Then

and
x1 (t) = c1 cos t + c2 sin t + c3 cos 2t + c4 sin 2t.
Since x2 = (D2 + 3)x1 , we have
x2 (t) = 2c1 cos t + 2c2 sin t − c3 cos 2t − c4 sin 2t.
The initial conditions imply
x1 (0) = c1 + c3 = 2
x′1 (0) = c1 + 2c4 = 1

11. (a) The auxiliary equation is (m − 3)(m + 5)(m − 1) = m3 + m2 − 17m + 15 = 0, so the differential equation is
y ′′′ + y ′′ − 17y ′ + 15y = 0.

m(m − 1)(m − 2) + bm(m − 1) + cm + d = m3 + (b − 3)m2 + (c − b + 2)m + d = 0.
Since (m − 3)(m + 5)(m − 1) = m3 + m2 − 17m + 15 = 0, we have b − 3 = 1, c − b + 2 = −17, and d = 15.

equation is x2 y ′′ − xy ′ − 3y = 0.
(b) In this case we want the auxiliary equation to be m2 + 1 = 0, so let a = 1, b = 1, and c = 1. Then the

When ω = α, yp = At cos ωt + Bt sin ωt and
y = c1 cos ωt + c2 sin ωt + At cos ωt + Bt sin ωt.

When ω = α, yp = Ateωt and
y = c1 eωt + c2 e−ωt + Ateωt .
30. (a) If y = sin x is a solution then so is y = cos x and m2 + 1 is a factor of the auxiliary equation
m4 + 2m3 + 11m2 + 2m + 10 = 0. Dividing by m2 + 1 we get m2 + 2m + 10, which has roots −1 ± 3i. The

y = c1 cos x + c2 sin x + e−x (c3 cos 3x + c4 sin 3x).
(b) The auxiliary equation is m(m + 1) = m2 + m = 0, so the associated homogeneous differential equation
is y ′′ + y ′ = 0. Letting y = c1 + c2 e−x + 21 x2 − x and computing y ′′ + y ′ we get x. Thus, the differential
equation is y ′′ + y ′ = x.

(b) Since both sinh x and x sinh x are solutions of the associated homogeneous differential equation, a particular
solution of y (4) − 2y ′′ + y = sinh x has the form yp = Ax2 sinh x + Bx2 cosh x.
32. Since y1′ = 1 and y1′′ = 0, x2 y1′′ − (x2 + 2x)y1′ + (x + 2)y1 = −x2 − 2x + x2 + 2x = 0, and y1 = x is a solution of the
associated homogeneous equation. Using the method of reduction of order, we let y = ux. Then y ′ = xu′ + u
and y ′′ = xu′′ + 2u′ , so
x2 y ′′ − (x2 + 2x)y ′ + (x + 2)y = x3 u′′ + 2x2 u′ − x3 u′ − 2x2 u′ − x2 u − 2xu + x2 u + 2xu
= x3 u′′ − x3 u′ = x3 (u′′ − u′ ).
To find a second solution of the homogeneous equation we note that u = ex is a solution of u′′ − u′ = 0. Thus,
yc = c1 x + c2 xex . To find a particular solution we set x3 (u′′ − u′ ) = x3 so that u′′ − u′ = 1. This differential
equation has a particular solution of the form Ax. Substituting, we find A = −1, so a particular solution of the
original differential equation is yp = −x2 and the general solution is y = c1 x + c2 xex − x2 .
33. The auxiliary equation is m2 − 2m + 2 = 0 so that m = 1 ± i and y = ex (c1 cos x + c2 sin x). Setting y(π/2) = 0
and y(π) = −1 we obtain c1 = e−π and c2 = 0. Thus, y = ex−π cos x.
34. The auxiliary equation is m2 + 2m + 1 = (m + 1)2 = 0, so that y = c1 e−x + c2 xe−x . Setting y(−1) = 0 and
y ′ (0) = 0 we get c1 e − c2 e = 0 and −c1 + c2 = 0. Thus c1 = c2 and y = c1 (e−x + xe−x ) is a solution of the
boundary-value problem for any real number c1 .
35. The auxiliary equation is m2 − 1 = (m − 1)(m + 1) = 0 so that m = ±1 and y = c1 ex + c2 e−x . Assuming
yp = Ax + B + C sin x and substituting into the differential equation we find A = −1, B = 0, and C = − 21 .
Thus yp = −x −

u du = 4x dx =⇒ u2 = 2x2 + c1 =⇒ u2 = 4x2 + c2 .

When x = 1, y = 5, so 5 = 1 + c3 and 5 = −1 + c4 . Thus c3 = 4 and c4 = 6. We have y = x2 + 4 and
y = −x2 + 6. Note however that when y = −x2 + 6, y ′ = −2x and y ′ (1) = −2 ̸= 2. Thus, the solution of the
initial-value problem is y = x2 + 4.
38. Let u = y ′ so that y ′′ = u du/dy. The equation becomes 2u du/dy = 3y 2 . Separating variables we obtain
2u du = 3y 2 dy =⇒ u2 = y 3 + c1 .
When x = 0, y = 1 and y ′ = u = 1 so 1 = 1 + c1 and c1 = 0. Then

When x = 0, y = 1, so 1 = 4/c22 and c2 = ±2. Thus, y = 4/(x + 2)2 and y = 4/(x − 2)2 . Note, however, that
when y = 4/(x + 2)2 , y ′ = −8/(x + 2)3 and y ′ (0) = −1 ̸= 1. Thus, the solution of the initial-value problem is
y = 4/(x − 2)2 .

the period of oscillation is T = (2π/ kg ) W . If the weight of the original mass is W , then (2π/ kg ) W = 3

and (2π/ kg ) W − 8 = 2. Dividing, we get W / W − 8 = 3/2 or W = 49 (W − 8). Solving for W we find

(c) If x = 1 then t = nπ/2 and t = −π/8 + nπ/2 for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . .
(d) If x = 0 then t = π/16 + nπ/4 for n = 0, 1, 2, . . .. The motion is upward for n even and downward for n

51. For λ = α2 > 0 the general solution is y = c1 cos αx + c2 sin αx. Now
y(0) = c1
and
y(2π) = c1 cos 2πα + c2 sin 2πα,
195

sin 50t,
CHAPTER 3 REVIEW EXERCISES
so the condition y(0) = y(2π) implies
c1 = c1 cos 2πα + c2 sin 2πα
which is true when α =
√
λ = n or λ = n2 for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . . Since
y ′ = −αc1 sin αx + αc2 cos αx = −nc1 sin nx + nc2 cos nx,
we see that y ′ (0) = nc2 = y ′ (2π) for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . . Thus, the eigenvalues are n2 for n = 1, 2, 3, . . . ,
with corresponding eigenfunctions cos nx and sin nx. When λ = 0, the general solution is y = c1 x + c2 and the
corresponding eigenfunction is y = 1.
For λ = −α2 < 0 the general solution is y = c1 cosh αx + c2 sinh αx. In this case y(0) = c1 and y(2π) =
c1 cosh 2πα + c2 sinh 2πα, so y(0) = y(2π) can only be valid for α = 0. Thus, there are no eigenvalues corresponding to λ < 0.
52. (a) The differential equation is d2 r/dt2 − ω 2 r = −g sin ωt.
The auxiliary equation is m2 − ω 2 = 0, so
rc = c1 eωt + c2 e−ωt . A particular solution has the form rp = A sin ωt + B cos ωt. Substituting into
the differential equation we find −2Aω 2 sin ωt − 2Bω 2 cos ωt = −g sin ωt. Thus, B = 0, A = g/2ω 2 , and
rp = (g/2ω 2 ) sin ωt. The general solution of the differential equation is r(t) = c1 eωt +c2 e−ωt +(g/2ω 2 ) sin ωt.
The initial conditions imply c1 + c2 = r0 and g/2ω − ωc1 + ωc2 = v0 . Solving for c1 and c2 we get
c1 = (2ω 2 r0 + 2ωv0 − g)/4ω 2
and c2 = (2ω 2 r0 − 2ωv0 + g)/4ω 2 ,
so that
r(t) =

(b) The bead will exhibit simple harmonic motion when the exponential terms are missing. Solving c1 = 0,
c2 = 0 for r0 and v0 we find r0 = 0 and v0 = g/2ω.
To find the minimum length of rod that will accommodate simple harmonic motion we determine the
amplitude of r(t) and double it. Thus L = g/ω 2 .
(c) As t increases, eωt approaches infinity and e−ωt approaches 0. Since sin ωt is bounded, the distance, r(t), of
the bead from the pivot point increases without bound and the distance of the bead from P will eventually
exceed L/2.

53. Unlike the derivation given in Section 3.8 in the text, the weight mg of the mass m does not appear in the net
force since the spring is not stretched by the weight of the mass when it is in the equilibrium position (i.e. there
is no mg − ks term in the net force). The only force acting on the mass when it is in motion is the restoring
force of the spring. By Newton’s second law,

54. The force of kinetic friction opposing the motion of the mass in µN , where µ is the coefficient of sliding friction
and N is the normal component of the weight. Since friction is a force opposite to the direction of motion
and since N is pointed directly downward (it is simply the weight of the mass), Newton’s second law gives, for
motion to the right (x′ > 0) ,
m
d2 x
= −kx − µmg,

and for motion to the left (x′ < 0),
d2 x
= −kx + µmg.

This function is not of exponential order, but we can show that its Laplace transform exists. Using integration

Since sin et is continuous and of exponential order,
2
{sin et } exists, and therefore
2
2
{2tet cos et } exists.
44. The relation will be valid when s is greater than the maximum of c1 and c2 .
2
45. Since et is an increasing function and t2 > ln M + ct for M > 0 we have et > eln M +ct = M ect for t sufficiently
2
large and for any c. Thus, et is not of exponential order.
46. Assuming that (c) of Theorem 4.1 is applicable with a complex exponent, we have
{e(a+ib)t } =

(s − a) + ib

.
=
=
s − (a + ib)
(s − a) − ib (s − a) + ib

By Euler’s formula, eiθ = cos θ + i sin θ, so

(s − a)2 + b2
(s − a)2 + b2
Equating real and imaginary parts we get
{eat cos bt} =
s−a
(s − a)2 + b2
and
{eat sin bt} =
b
.
(s − a)2 + b2
47. We want f (αx + βy) = αf (x) + βf (y) or
m(αx + βy) + b = α(mx + b) + β(my + b) = m(αx + βy) + (α + β)b
for all real numbers α and β. Taking α = β = 1 we see that b = 2b, so b = 0. Thus, f (x) = mx + b will be a
linear transformation when b = 0.

y(t) = (e − 1)e−t + (e + 1)te−t .

To find c we let y ′ (π) = 0. Then 0 = y ′ (π) = ce−4π and c = 0. Thus, y(t) = 0. (Since the differential equation
is homogeneous and both boundary conditions are 0, we can see immediately that y(t) = 0 is a solution. We
have shown that it is the only solution.)
33. Recall from Section 3.8 that mx′′ = −kx − βx′ . Now m = W/g = 4/32 = 81 slug, and 4 = 2k so that k = 2 lb/ft.
Thus, the differential equation is x′′ + 7x′ + 16x = 0. The initial conditions are x(0) = −3/2 and x′ (0) = 0.

the net forces acting on m1 and m2 are
−k1 x1 + k2 (x2 − x1 )
and
− k2 (x2 − x1 ) − k3 x2 ,
respectively, Newton’s second law of motion gives
m1 x′′1 = −k1 x1 + k2 (x2 − x1 )
m2 x′′2 = −k2 (x2 − x1 ) − k3 x2 .
Using k1 = k2 = k3 = 1, m1 = m2 = 1, x1 (0) = 0, x1 (0) = −1, x2 (0) = 0, and x′2 (0) = 1, and taking the

negative y-axis. Then mass m1 is at (x, (t), y1 (t)) and mass m2 is at (x2 (t), y2 (t)), where
x1 (t) = 16 sin θ1 (t)
and
y1 (t) = −16 cos θ1 (t)
x2 (t) = x1 (t) + 16 sin θ2 (t)
and
y2 (t) = y1 (t) − 16 cos θ2 (t).

A reasonable movie can be constructed by letting t range from 0 to 10 in increments of 0.1 seconds.

0
θ1′′ + ω 2 θ1 = −K(θ1 − θ2 )
θ2′′ + ω 2 θ2 = K(θ1 − θ2 ).
Denoting the Laplace transform of θ(t) by Θ(s) we have that the Laplace transform of the system is
(s2 + ω 2 )Θ1 (s) = −KΘ1 (s) + KΘ2 (s) + sθ0
(s2 + ω 2 )Θ2 (s) = KΘ1 (s) − KΘ2 (s) + sψ0 .
250
CHAPTER 4 REVIEW EXERCISES
If we add the two equations, we get
Θ1 (s) + Θ2 (s) = (θ0 + ψ0 )
s
s2 + ω 2
which implies
θ1 (t) + θ2 (t) = (θ0 + ψ0 ) cos ωt.
This enables us to solve for first, say, θ1 (t) and then find θ2 (t) from
θ2 (t) = −θ1 (t) + (θ0 + ψ0 ) cos ωt.
Now solving
(s2 + ω 2 + K)Θ1 (s) − KΘ2 (s) = sθ0
−kΘ1 (s) + (s2 + ω 2 + K)Θ2 (s) = sψ0
gives
[(s2 + ω 2 + K)2 − K 2 ]Θ1 (s) = s(s2 + ω 2 + K)θ0 + Ksψ0 .
Factoring the difference of two squares and using partial fractions we get
Θ1 (s) =
θ0 + ψ0
θ0 − ψ0

(b) With the initial conditions θ1 (0) = θ0 , θ1′ (0) = 0, θ2 (0) = θ0 , θ2′ (0) = 0 we have
θ1 (t) = θ0 cos ωt,
θ2 (t) = θ0 cos ωt.
Physically this means that both pendulums swing in the same direction as if they were free since the spring
exerts no influence on the motion (θ1 (t) and θ2 (t) are free of K).
With the initial conditions θ1 (0) = θ0 , θ1′ (0) = 0, θ2 (0) = −θ0 , θ2′ (0) = 0 we have
=
=
θ1 (t) = θ0 cos ω 2 + 2K t,
θ2 (t) = −θ0 cos ω 2 + 2K t.
Physically this means that both pendulums swing in the opposite directions, stretching and compressing
the spring. The amplitude of both displacements is |θ0 |. Moreover, θ1 (t) = θ0 and θ2 (t) = −θ0 at precisely
the same times. At these times the spring is stretched to its maximum.

37. We identify P (x) = 0 and Q(x) = sin x/x. The Taylor series representation for sin x/x is 1 − x2 /3! + x4 /5! − · · · ,
for |x| < ∞. Thus, Q(x) is analytic at x = 0 and x = 0 is an ordinary point of the differential equation.
38. If x > 0 and y > 0, then y ′′ = −xy < 0 and the graph of a solution curve is concave down. Thus, whatever
portion of a solution curve lies in the first quadrant is concave down. When x > 0 and y < 0, y ′′ = −xy > 0,
so whatever portion of a solution curve lies in the fourth quadrant is concave up.

we see that x0 = 1 and x0 = −1 are regular singular points. For x0 = 1 the differential equation can be put in
the form
(x − 1)2 y ′′ + 5(x − 1)y ′ +
x(x − 1)2
y = 0.
x+1
In this case p(x) = 5 and q(x) = x(x − 1)2 /(x + 1). For x0 = −1 the differential equation can be put in the form
(x + 1)2 y ′′ + 5(x + 1)
x+1 ′
y + x(x + 1)y = 0.
x−1
In this case p(x) = (x + 1)/(x − 1) and q(x) = x(x + 1).
12. Writing the differential equation in the form
y ′′ +
x+3 ′
y + 7xy = 0
x
we see that x0 = 0 is a regular singular point. Multiplying by x2 , the differential equation can be put in the
form
x2 y ′′ + x(x + 3)y ′ + 7x3 y = 0.
We identify p(x) = x + 3 and q(x) = 7x3 .
13. We identify P (x) = 5/3x + 1 and Q(x) = −1/3x2 , so that p(x) = xP (x) =
Then a0 = 35 , b0 = − 13 , and the indicial equation is

The indicial roots are

using the method of Frobenius.
14. We identify P (x) = 1/x and Q(x) = 10/x, so that p(x) = xP (x) = 1 and q(x) = x2 Q(x) = 10x. Then a0 = 1,
b0 = 0, and the indicial equation is
r(r − 1) + r = r2 = 0.
The indicial roots are 0 and 0. Since these are equal, we expect the method of Frobenius to yield a single series
solution.

35. Express the differential equation in standard form:
y ′′′ + P (x)y ′′ + Q(x)y ′ + R(x)y = 0.
Suppose x0 is a singular point of the differential equation. Then we say that x0 is a regular singular point if
(x − x0 )P (x), (x − x0 )2 Q(x), and (x − x0 )3 R(x) are analytic at x = x0 .

k=1
[ck + (k + r − 1)(k + r − 2)ck−1 ]xk+r = 0.
It follows that c0 = 0 and
ck = −(k + r − 1)(k + r − 2)ck−1 .
The only solution we obtain is y(x) = 0.
Substituting y =

which implies
2
−rc0 = 0
(k + r + 1) ck − (k + r + 1)ck+1 = 0.
If c0 = 0, then the solution of the differential equation is y = 0. Thus, we take r = 0, from which we obtain
ck+1 = (k + 1)ck , k = 0, 1, 2, . . . .
Letting c0 = 1 we get c1 = 2, c2 = 3!, c3 = 4!, and so on. The solution of the differential equation is then

36. The general solution of the differential equation is
y(x) = c1 J0 (αx) + c2 Y0 (αx).
In order to satisfy the conditions that limx→0+ y(x) and limx→0+ y ′ (x) are finite we are forced to define c2 = 0.
Thus, y(x) = c1 J0 (αx). The second boundary condition, y(2) = 0, implies c1 = 0 or J0 (2α) = 0. In order to
have a nontrivial solution we require that J0 (2α) = 0. From Table 5.1, the first three positive zeros of J0 are
found to be
2α1 = 2.4048, 2α2 = 5.5201, 2α3 = 8.6537
and so α1 = 1.2024, α2 = 2.7601, α3 = 4.3269. The eigenfunctions corresponding to the eigenvalues λ1 = α12 ,
λ2 = α22 , λ3 = α32 are J0 (1.2024x), J0 (2.7601x), and J0 (4.3269x).

(b) We first note that y = J1 (t) is a solution of Bessel’s equation, t2 y ′′ + ty ′ + (t2 − 1)y = 0, with ν = 1. That
is,

13. (a) Using Euler’s method we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y1 = 1.2.
(b) Using y ′′ = 4e2x we see that the local truncation error is
y ′′ (c)
h2
(0.1)2
= 4e2c
= 0.02e2c .
2
2
Since e2x is an increasing function, e2c ≤ e2(0.1) = e0.2 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local
truncation error is 0.02e0.2 = 0.0244.
(c) Since y(0.1) = e0.2 = 1.2214, the actual error is y(0.1) − y1 = 0.0214, which is less than 0.0244.
(d) Using Euler’s method with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 1.21.
(e) The error in (d) is 1.2214 − 1.21 = 0.0114. With global truncation error O(h), when the step size is halved
we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-half the error when h = 0.1. Comparing 0.0114 with 0.214 we
see that this is the case.
14. (a) Using the improved Euler’s method we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y1 = 1.22.
(b) Using y ′′′ = 8e2x we see that the local truncation error is
y ′′′ (c)
h3
(0.1)3

= 0.001333e2c .
6

Since e2x is an increasing function, e2c ≤ e2(0.1) = e0.2 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local
truncation error is 0.001333e0.2 = 0.001628.
(c) Since y(0.1) = e0.2 = 1.221403, the actual error is y(0.1) − y1 = 0.001403 which is less than 0.001628.
(d) Using the improved Euler’s method with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 1.221025.

Euler Methods and Error Analysis
(e) The error in (d) is 1.221403 − 1.221025 = 0.000378. With global truncation error O(h2 ), when the step size
is halved we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-fourth the error for h = 0.1. Comparing 0.000378 with
0.001403 we see that this is the case.
15. (a) Using Euler’s method we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y1 = 0.8.
(b) Using y ′′ = 5e−2x we see that the local truncation error is
5e−2c
(0.1)2
= 0.025e−2c .
2
Since e−2x is a decreasing function, e−2c ≤ e0 = 1 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local
truncation error is 0.025(1) = 0.025.
(c) Since y(0.1) = 0.8234, the actual error is y(0.1) − y1 = 0.0234, which is less than 0.025.
(d) Using Euler’s method with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 0.8125.
(e) The error in (d) is 0.8234 − 0.8125 = 0.0109. With global truncation error O(h), when the step size is
halved we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-half the error when h = 0.1. Comparing 0.0109 with
0.0234 we see that this is the case.
16. (a) Using the improved Euler’s method we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y1 = 0.825.
(b) Using y ′′′ = −10e−2x we see that the local truncation error is
10e−2c
(0.1)3
= 0.001667e−2c .
6
Since e−2x is a decreasing function, e−2c ≤ e0 = 1 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local
truncation error is 0.001667(1) = 0.001667.
(c) Since y(0.1) = 0.823413, the actual error is y(0.1) − y1 = 0.001587, which is less than 0.001667.
(d) Using the improved Euler’s method with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 0.823781.
(e) The error in (d) is |0.823413 − 0.8237181| = 0.000305. With global truncation error O(h2 ), when the step
size is halved we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-fourth the error when h = 0.1. Comparing 0.000305
with 0.001587 we see that this is the case.

(b) Since e−3(x−1) is a decreasing function for 1 ≤ x ≤ 1.5, e−3(c−1) ≤ e−3(1−1) = 1 for 1 ≤ c ≤ 1.5 and
y ′′ (c)

(c) Using Euler’s method with h = 0.1 we obtain y(1.5) ≈ 1.8207. With h = 0.05 we obtain y(1.5) ≈ 1.9424.
(d) Since y(1.5) = 2.0532, the error for h = 0.1 is E0.1 = 0.2325, while the error for h = 0.05 is E0.05 = 0.1109.
With global truncation error O(h) we expect E0.1 /E0.05 ≈ 2. We actually have E0.1 /E0.05 = 2.10.

(d) Since y(1.5) = 2.053216, the error for h = 0.1 is E0.1 = 0.026892, while the error for h = 0.05 is
E0.05 = 0.005950. With global truncation error O(h2 ) we expect E0.1 /E0.05 ≈ 4. We actually have

(c) Using Euler’s method with h = 0.1 we obtain y(0.5) ≈ 0.4198. With h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.5) ≈ 0.4124.
(d) Since y(0.5) = 0.4055, the error for h = 0.1 is E0.1 = 0.0143, while the error for h = 0.05 is E0.05 = 0.0069.
With global truncation error O(h) we expect E0.1 /E0.05 ≈ 2. We actually have E0.1 /E0.05 = 2.06.

E0.05 = 0.000046. With global truncation error O(h2 ) we expect E0.1 /E0.05 ≈ 4. We actually have

Since e2x is an increasing function, e2c ≤ e2(0.1) = e0.2 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local
truncation error is 0.000002667e0.2 = 0.000003257.
(c) Since y(0.1) = e0.2 = 1.221402758, the actual error is y(0.1) − y1 = 0.000002758 which is less than
0.000003257.
(d) Using the RK4 formula with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 1.221402571.
(e) The error in (d) is 1.221402758 − 1.221402571 = 0.000000187. With global truncation error O(h4 ), when
the step size is halved we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-sixteenth the error for h = 0.1. Comparing
0.000000187 with 0.000002758 we see that this is the case.

Since e−2x is a decreasing function, e−2c ≤ e0 = 1 for 0 ≤ c ≤ 0.1. Thus an upper bound for the local

(c) Since y(0.1) = 0.823413441, the actual error is |y(0.1) − y1 | = 0.000003225, which is less than 0.000003333.
(d) Using the RK4 method with h = 0.05 we obtain y(0.1) ≈ y2 = 0.823413627.
(e) The error in (d) is |0.823413441 − 0.823413627| = 0.000000185. With global truncation error O(h4 ), when
the step size is halved we expect the error for h = 0.05 to be one-sixteenth the error when h = 0.1.
Comparing 0.000000185 with 0.000003225 we see that this is the case.

20. Each step of Euler’s method requires only 1 function evaluation, while each step of the improved Euler’s method
∗
requires 2 function evaluations – once at (xn , yn ) and again at (xn+1 , yn+1
). The second-order Runge-Kutta
methods require 2 function evaluations per step, while the RK4 method requires 4 function evaluations per step.
To compare the methods we approximate the solution of y ′ = (x + y − 1)2 , y(0) = 2, at x = 0.2 using h = 0.1

for the Runge-Kutta method, h = 0.05 for the improved Euler’s method, and h = 0.025 for Euler’s method. For
each method a total of 8 function evaluations is required. By comparing with the exact solution we see that the
RK4 method appears to still give the most accurate result.

1. The substitution y ′ = u leads to the iteration formulas
yn+1 = yn + hun ,
un+1 = un + h(4un − 4yn ).
The initial conditions are y0 = −2 and u0 = 1. Then
y1 = y0 + 0.1u0 = −2 + 0.1(1) = −1.9
u1 = u0 + 0.1(4u0 − 4y0 ) = 1 + 0.1(4 + 8) = 2.2
y2 = y1 + 0.1u1 = −1.9 + 0.1(2.2) = −1.68.
The general solution of the differential equation is y = c1 e2x + c2 xe2x . From the initial conditions we find
c1 = −2 and c2 = 5. Thus y = −2e2x + 5xe2x and y(0.2) ≈ 1.4918.

The general solution of the Cauchy-Euler differential equation is y = c1 x + c2 x2 . From the initial conditions we
find c1 = −1 and c2 = 5. Thus y = −x + 5x2 and y(1.2) = 6.

on the differential equation, not the boundary conditions. If we allow i to range from 0 to n − 1 we obtain
n equations in the n + 1 unknowns y−1 , y0 , y1 , . . . , yn−1 . Since yn is one of the given boundary conditions,
it is not an unknown.

5. Using
yn+1 = yn + hun ,
y0 = 3
un+1 = un + h(2xn + 1)yn ,
u0 = 1
we obtain (when h = 0.2) y1 = y(0.2) = y0 + hu0 = 3 + (0.2)1 = 3.2. When h = 0.1 we have
y1 = y0 + 0.1u0 = 3 + (0.1)1 = 3.1
u1 = u0 + 0.1(2x0 + 1)y0 = 1 + 0.1(1)3 = 1.3

7. Using x0 = 1, y0 = 2, and h = 0.1 we have
x1 = x0 + h(x0 + y0 ) = 1 + 0.1(1 + 2) = 1.3
and
y1 = y0 + h(x0 − y0 ) = 2 + 0.1(1 − 2) = 1.9
337
CHAPTER 6 REVIEW EXERCISES
x2 = x1 + h(x1 + y1 ) = 1.3 + 0.1(1.3 + 1.9) = 1.62
y2 = y1 + h(x1 − y1 ) = 1.9 + 0.1(1.3 − 1.9) = 1.84.
Thus, x(0.2) ≈ 1.62 and y(0.2) ≈ 1.84.
8. We identify P (x) = 0, Q(x) = 6.55(1 + x), f (x) = 1, and h = (1 − 0)/10 = 0.1. Then the finite difference
equation is
yi+1 + [−2 + 0.0655(1 + xi )]yi + yi−1 = 0.001
or
yi+1 + (0.0655xi − 1.9345)yi + yi−1 = 0.001.

b = (−c) − a; (b + c) + a = 0; a + b + c = 0
From Problem 39, e + c + d = 0. But b = e − a

41. From 2i + 3j = k1 b + k2 c = k1 (i + j) + k2 (i − j) = (k1 + k2 )i + (k1 − k2 )j we obtain the system of equations
k1 + k2 = 2, k1 − k2 = 3. Solving, we find k1 = 25 and k2 = − 12 . Then a = 52 b − 21 c.
42. From 2i + 3j = k1 b + k2 c = k1 (−2i + 4j) + k2 (5i + 7j) = (−2k1 + 5k2 )i + (4k1 + 7k2 )j we obtain the system of

43. From y ′ = 12 x we see that the slope of the tangent line at (2, 2) is 1. A vector with slope 1 is i + j. A unit vector

is (i + j)/∥i + j∥ = (i + j)/ 2 = √12 i + √12 j. Another unit vector tangent to the curve is − √12 i − √12 j.
44. From y ′ = −2x + 3 we see that the slope of the tangent line at (0, 0) is 3. A vector with slope 3 is i + 3j. A

unit vector is (i + 3j)/∥i + 3j∥ = (i + 3j)/ 10 = √110 i + √110 j. Another unit vector is − √110 i − √110 j.

(b) θ = tan−1 0.6 ≈ 31◦
46. Since w + F1 + F2 = 0,
−200j + ∥F1 ∥ cos 20◦ i + ∥F1 ∥ sin 20◦ j − ∥F2 ∥ cos 15◦ i + ∥F2 ∥ sin 15◦ j = 0
or
(∥F1 ∥ cos 20◦ − ∥F2 ∥ cos 15◦ )i + (∥F1 ∥ sin 20◦ + ∥F2 ∥ sin 15◦ − 200)j = 0.
Thus, ∥F1 ∥ cos 20◦ − ∥F2 ∥ cos 15◦ = 0; ∥F1 ∥ sin 20◦ + ∥F2 ∥ sin 15◦ − 200 = 0. Solving this system for ∥F1 ∥ and

and c · (a × b) = a2 b3 c1 + a3 b1 c2 + a1 b2 c3 − a2 b1 c3 − a3 b2 c1 − a1 b3 c2 . These are equal so a · (b × c) = (a × b) · c.

64. No. For example i × (i + j) = i × j by the distributive law (iii) in the text, and the fact that i × i = 0. But i + j
does not equal j.

(a + b) × (a − b) = (a + b) × a − (a + b) × b = a × a + b × a − a × b − b × b = 2b × a
since a × a = 0, b × b = 0, and −a × b = b × a.

or r = r2 + t(ka) where a = r2 − r1 and k is any non-zero scalar. Thus, the form of the equation of a line is not
unique. (See the alternate solution to Problem 1.)

23. Writing the given line in the form x/2 = (y − 1)/(−3) = (z − 5)/6, we see that a direction vector is ⟨2, −3, 6⟩.
Parametric equations for the line are x = 6 + 2t, y = 4 − 3t, z = −2 + 6t.
24. A direction vector is ⟨5, 1/3, −2⟩. Symmetric equations for the line are (x−4)/5 = (y +11)/(1/3) = (z +7)/(−2).
25. A direction vector parallel to both the xz- and xy-planes is i = ⟨1, 0, 0⟩. Parametric equations for the line are
x = 2 + t, y = −2, z = 15.
26. (a) Since the unit vector j = ⟨0, 1, 0⟩ lies along the y-axis, we have x = 1, y = 2 + t, z = 8.
(b) since the unit vector k = ⟨0, 0, 1⟩ is perpendicular to the xy-plane, we have x = 1, y = 2, z = 8 + t.
27. Both lines go through the points (0, 0, 0) and (6, 6, 6). Since two points determine a line, the lines are the same.
28. a and f are parallel since ⟨9, −12, 6⟩ = −3⟨−3, 4, −2⟩. c and d are orthogonal since ⟨2, −3, 4⟩ · ⟨1, 4, 5/2⟩ = 0.
29. In the xy-plane, z = 9 + 3t = 0 and t = −3. Then x = 4 − 2(−3) = 10 and y = 1 + 2(−3) = −5. The point is
(10, −5, 0). In the xz-plane, y = 1+2t = 0 and t = −1/2. Then x = 4−2(−1/2) = 5 and z = 9+3(−1/2) = 15/2.
The point is (5, 0, 15/2). In the yz-plane, x = 4−2t = 0 and t = 2. Then y = 1+2(2) = 5 and z = 9+3(2) = 15.
The point is (0, 5, 15).
30. The parametric equations for the line are x = 1 + 2t, y = −2 + 3t, z = 4 + 2t. In the xy-plane, z = 4 + 2t = 0
and t = −2. Then x = 1 + 2(−2) = −3 and y = −2 + 3(−2) = −8. The point is (−3, −8, 0). In the xz-plane,
y = −2 + 3t = 0 and t = 2/3. Then x = 1 + 2(2/3) = 7/3 and z = 4 + 2(2/3) = 16/3. The point is (7/3, 0, 16/3).
In the yz-plane, x = 1 + 2t = 0 and t = −1/2. Then y = −2 + 3(−1/2) = −7/2 and z = 4 + 2(−1/2) = 3. The
point is (0, −7/2, 3).

31. Solving the system 4 + t = 6 + 2s, 5 + t = 11 + 4s, −1 + 2t = −3 + s, or t − 2s = 2, t − 4s = 6, 2t − s = −2
yields s = −2 and t = −2 in all three equations. Thus, the lines intersect at the point x = 4 + (−2) = 2,
y = 5 + (−2) = 3, z = −1 + 2(−2) = −5, or (2, 3, −5).
32. Solving the system 1 + t = 2 − s, 2 − t = 1 + s, 3t = 6s, or t + s = 1, t + s = 1, t − 2s = 0 yields s = 1/3 and
t = 2/3 in all three equations. Thus, the lines intersect at the point x = 1 + 2/3 = 5/3, y = 2 − 2/3 = 4/3,
z = 3(2/3) = 2, or (5/3, 4/3, 2).
33. The system of equations 2 − t = 4 + s, 3 + t = 1 + s, 1 + t = 1 − s, or t + s = −2, t − s = −2, t + s = 0 has no
solution since −2 ̸= 0. Thus, the lines do not intersect.
34. Solving the system 3 − t = 2 + 2s, 2 + t = −2 + 3s, 8 + 2t = −2 + 8s, or t + 2s = 1, t − 3s = −4, 2t − 8s = −10
yields s = 1 and t = −1 in all three equations. Thus, the lines intersect at the point x = 3 − (−1) = 4,
y = 2 + (−1) = 1, z = 8 + 2(−1) = 6, or (4, 1, 6).

37. A direction vector perpendicular to the given lines will be ⟨1, 1, 1⟩ × ⟨−2, 1, −5⟩ = ⟨−6, 3, 3⟩. Equations of the
line are x = 4 − 6t, y = 1 + 3t, z = 6 + 3t.
38. The direction vectors of the given lines are ⟨3, 2, 4⟩ and ⟨6, 4, 8⟩ = 2⟨3, 2, 4⟩. These are parallel, so we need a
third vector parallel to the plane containing the lines which is not parallel to them. The point (1, −1, 0) is on
the first line and (−4, 6, 10) is on the second line. A third vector is then ⟨1, −1, 0⟩ − ⟨−4, 6, 10⟩ = ⟨5, −7, −10⟩.
Now a direction vector perpendicular to the plane is ⟨3, 2, 4⟩ × ⟨5, −7, −10⟩ = ⟨8, 50, −31⟩. Equations of the line
through (1, −1, 0) and perpendicular to the plane are x = 1 + 8t, y = −1 + 50t, z = −31t.

49. From the points (1, 2, −1) and (4, 3, 1) we obtain the vector u = 3i + j + 2k. From the points (4, 3, 1) and
(7, 4, 3) we obtain the vector v = 3i + j + 2k. From the points (7, 4, 3) and (x, y, z) we obtain the vector
w = (x − 7)i + (y − 4)j + (z − 3)k. Since u × v = 0, the points are colinear.
50. From the points (2, 1, 2) and (4, 1, 0) we obtain the vector u = 2i − 2k.
From the points (4, 1, 0) and

51. A normal vector to x + y − 4z = 1 is ⟨1, 1, −4⟩. The equation of the parallel plane is
(x − 2) + (y − 3) − 4(z + 5) = 0 or x + y − 4z = 25.
52. A normal vector to 5x−y +z = 6 is ⟨5, −1, 1, ⟩. The equation of the parallel plane is 5(x−0)−(y −0)+(z −0) = 0
or 5x − y + z = 0.
53. A normal vector to the xy-plane is ⟨0, 0, 1⟩. The equation of the parallel plane is z − 12 = 0 or z = 12.
54. A normal vector is ⟨0, 1, 0⟩. The equation of the plane is y + 5 = 0 or y = −5.
55. Direction vectors of the lines are ⟨3, −1, 1⟩. and ⟨4, 2, 1⟩. A normal vector to the plane is ⟨3, −1, 1⟩ × ⟨4, 2, 1⟩ =
⟨−3, 1, 10⟩. A point on the first line, and thus in the plane, is ⟨1, 1, 2⟩. The equation of the plane is
−3(x − 1) + (y − 1) + 10(z − 2) = 0 or −3x + y + 10z = 18.
56. Direction vectors of the lines are ⟨2, −1, 6⟩ and ⟨1, 1, −3⟩. A normal vector to the plane is ⟨2, −1, 6⟩×⟨1, 1, −3⟩ =
⟨−3, 12, 3⟩. A point on the first line, and thus in the plane, is (1, −1, 5). The equation of the plane is
−3(x − 1) + 12(y + 1) + 3(z − 5) = 0 or −x + 4y + z = 0.
57. A direction vector for the two lines is ⟨1, 2, 1⟩. Points on the lines are (1, 1, 3) and (3, 0, −2). Thus, another
vector parallel to the plane is ⟨1−3, 1−0, 3+2⟩ = ⟨−2, 1, 5⟩. A normal vector to the plane is ⟨1, 2, 1⟩×⟨−2, 1, 5⟩ =
⟨9, −7, 5⟩. Using the point (3, 0, −2) in the plane, the equation of the plane is 9(x − 3) − 7(y − 0) + 5(z + 2) = 0
or 9x − 7y + 5z = 17.

58. A direction vector for the line is ⟨3, 2, −2⟩. Letting t = 0, we see that the origin is on the line and hence in the
plane. Thus, another vector parallel to the plane is ⟨4 − 0, 0 − 0, −6 − 0⟩ = ⟨4, 0, −6⟩. A normal vector to the
plane is ⟨3, 2, −2⟩ × ⟨4, 0, −6⟩ = ⟨−12, 10, −8⟩. The equation of the plane is −12(x − 0) + 10(y − 0) − 8(z − 0) = 0

plane is −3(x − 2) + (y − 4) − 12 (z − 8) = 0 or −3x + y − 12 z = −6.
60. A normal vector to the plane is ⟨2 − 1, 6 − 0, −3 + 2⟩ = ⟨1, 6, −1⟩. The equation of the plane is
(x − 1) + 6(y − 1) − (z − 1) = 0 or x + 6y − z = 6.
61. Normal vectors to the planes are (a) ⟨2, −1, 3⟩,
(b) ⟨1, 2, 2⟩,
(c) ⟨1, 1, −3/2⟩,
(d) ⟨−5, 2, 4⟩,
(e) ⟨−8, −8, 12⟩, (f ) ⟨−2, 1, −3⟩. Parallel planes are (c) and (e), and (a) and (f ). Perpendicular planes
are (a) and (d), (b) and (c), (b) and (e), and (d) and (f ).
62. A normal vector to the plane is ⟨−7, 2, 3⟩. This is a direction vector for the line and the equations of the line
are x = −4 − 7t, y = 1 + 2t, z = 7 + 3t.
63. A direction vector of the line is ⟨−6, 9, 3⟩, and the normal vectors of the planes are (a) ⟨4, 1, 2⟩, (b) ⟨2, −3, 1⟩,
(c) ⟨10, −15, −5⟩, (d) ⟨−4, 6, 2⟩. Vectors (c) and (d) are multiples of the direction vector and hence the
corresponding planes are perpendicular to the line.
64. A direction vector of the line is ⟨−2, 4, 1⟩, and normal vectors to the planes are (a) ⟨1, −1, 3⟩,
(b) ⟨6, −3, 0⟩, (c) ⟨1, −2, 5⟩, (d) ⟨−2, 1, −2⟩. Since the dot product of each normal vector with the direction vector is non-zero, none of the planes are parallel to the line.
65. Letting z = t in both equations and solving 5x − 4y = 8 + 9t, x + 4y = 4 − 3t, we obtain x = 2 + t, y =

69. Substituting the parametric equations into the equation of the plane, we obtain 2(1+2t)−3(2−t)+2(−3t) = −7
or t = −3. Letting t = −3 in the equation of the line, we obtain the point of intersection (−5, 5, 9).
70. Substituting the parametric equations into the equation of the plane, we obtain (3−2t)+(1+6t)+4(2− 12 t) = 12
or 2t = 0. Letting t = 0 in the equation of the line, we obtain the point of intersection (3, 1, 2).
71. Substituting the parametric equations into the equation of the plane, we obtain 1 + 2 − (1 + t) = 8 or t = −6.
Letting t = −6 in the equation of the line, we obtain the point of intersection (1, 2, −5).
72. Substituting the parametric equations into the equation of the plane, we obtain 4 + t − 3(2 + t) + 2(1 + 5t) = 0
or t = 0. Letting t = 0 in the equation of the line, we obtain the point of intersection (4, 2, 1).

Lines and Planes in 3-Space
In Problems 73 and 74, the cross product of the normal vectors to the two planes will be a vector parallel to both
planes, and hence a direction vector for a line parallel to the two planes.
73. Normal vectors are ⟨1, 1, −4⟩ and ⟨2, −1, 1⟩. A direction vector is
⟨1, 1, −4⟩ × ⟨2, −1, 1⟩ = ⟨−3, −9, −3⟩ = −3⟨1, 3, 1⟩.
Equations of the line are x = 5 + t, y = 6 + 3t, z = −12 + t.
74. Normal vectors are ⟨2, 0, 1⟩ and ⟨−1, 3, 1⟩. A direction vector is
⟨2, 0, 1⟩ × ⟨−1, 3, 1⟩ = ⟨−3, −3, 6⟩ = −3⟨1, 1, −2⟩.
Equations of the line are x = −3 + t, y = 5 + t, z = −1 − 2t.
In Problems 75 and 76, the cross product of the direction vector of the line with the normal vector of the given plane
will be a normal vector to the desired plane.
75. A direction vector of the line is ⟨3, −1, 5⟩ and a normal vector to the given plane is ⟨1, 1, 1⟩. A normal vector
to the desired plane is ⟨3, −1, 5⟩ × ⟨1, 1, 1⟩ = ⟨−6, 2, 4⟩. A point on the line, and hence in the plane, is (4, 0, 1).
The equation of the plane is −6(x − 4) + 2(y − 0) + 4(z − 1) = 0 or 3x − y − 2z = 10.
76. A direction vector of the line is ⟨3, 5, 2⟩ and a normal vector to the given plane is ⟨2, −4, −1⟩. A normal vector to
the desired plane is ⟨−3, 5, 2⟩ × ⟨2, −4, −1⟩ = ⟨3, 1, 2⟩. A point on the line, and hence in the plane, is (2, −2, 8).
The equation of the plane is 3(x − 2) + (y + 2) + 2(z − 8) = 0 or 3x + y + 2z = 20.

(x1 , y1 , z1 ) + (x2 , y2 , z2 ) = (at1 , bt1 , ct1 ) + (at2 , bt2 , ct2 ) = (a(t1 + t2 ), b(t1 + t2 ), c(t1 + t2 ))
is in S. Also, for (x, y, z) in S then k(x, y, z) = (kx, ky, kz) = (a(kt), b(kt), c(kt)) is also in S.
22. Let (x1 , y1 , z1 ) and (x2 , y2 , z2 ) be in S. Then ax1 + by1 + cz1 = 0 and ax2 + by2 + cz2 = 0. Adding gives
a(x1 + x2 ) + b(y1 + y2 ) + c(z1 + z2 ) = 0 and so (x1 , y1 , z1 ) + (x2 , y2 , z2 ) = (x1 + x2 , y1 + y2 , z1 + z2 ) is in S. Also,
for (x, y, z) then ax + by + cz = 0 implies k(ax + by + cz) = k · 0 = 0 and a(kx) + b(ky) + c(kz) = 0. this means
k(x, y, z) = (kx, ky, kz) is in S.
23. (a) c1 u1 + c2 u2 + c3 u3 = 0 if and only if c1 + c2 + c3 = 0, c2 + c3 = 0, c3 = 0. The only solution of this system
is c1 = 0, c2 = 0, c3 = 0.
(b) Solving the system c1 + c2 + c3 = 3, c2 + c3 = −4, c3 = 8 gives c1 = 7, c2 = −12, c3 = 8. Thus
a = 7u1 − 12u2 + 8u3 .
24. (a) The assumption c1 p1 + c2 p2 = 0 is equivalent to (c1 + c2 )x + (c1 − c2 ) = 0. Thus c1 + c2 = 0, c1 − c2 = 0.
The only solution of this system is c1 = 0, c2 = 0.

33. We need to show that Span{x1 , x2 , . . . , xn } is closed under vector addition and scalar multiplication. Suppose
u and v are in Span{x1 , x2 , . . . , xn }. Then u = a1 x1 + a2 x2 + · · · + an xn and v = b1 x1 + b2 x2 + · · · + bn xn , so
that
u + v = (a1 + b1 )x1 + (a2 + b2 )x2 + · · · + (an + bn )xn ,
which is in Span{x1 , x2 , . . . , xn }. Also, for any real number k,
ku = k(a1 x1 + a2 x2 + · · · + an xn ) = ka1 x1 + ka2 x2 + · · · + kan xn ,
which is in Span{x1 , x2 , . . . , xn }. Thus, Span{x1 , x2 , . . . , xn } is a subspace of V.
34. R2 is not a subspace of either R3 or R4 and R3 is not a subspace of R4 . The vectors in R2 are ordered pairs,

the dimension of M22 is 4.
36. To show that the set of nonzero orthogonal vectors is linearly independent we set c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cn vn = 0.
For 0 ≤ i ≤ n,
(c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + ci vi · · · + cn vn ) · vi = c1 v1 · vi + c2 v2 · vi + · · · + ci vi · vi · · · + cn vn · vi = ci ||vi ||2 ,
so ci ||vi ||2 = 0 because
(c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + ci vi · · · + cn vn ) · vi = 0 · vi = 0.
Since vi is a nonzero vector, ci = 0. Thus, the assumption that c1 v1 + c2 v2 + · · · + cn vn = 0 leads to
c1 = c2 = · · · = cn = 0, and the set is linearly independent.
37. We verify the four properties:
(i) (u, v) = u1 v1 + 4u2 v2 = v1 u1 + 4v2 u2 = (v, u)
(ii) (ku, v) = (ku1 )v1 + 4(ku2 )v2 = k(u1 v1 + 4u2 v2 ) = k(u, v)
(iii) (u, u) = u21 + 4ku22 > 0 for u ̸= 0. Furthermore, u21 + 4ku22 = 0 if and only if u1 = 0 and u2 = 0, or
equivalently, u = 0.
(iv) (u, v + w) = u1 (v1 + w1 ) + 4u2 (v2 + w2 ) = (u1 v1 + 4u2 v2 ) + (u1 w1 + 4u2 w2 ) = (u, v) + (u, w)

Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization Process
38. (a) Let u = ⟨2, 1⟩ and v = ⟨2, −1⟩ be nonzero vectors in R2 . With respect to the standard inner or dot product
on R2 ,
u · v = ⟨2, 1⟩ · ⟨2, −1⟩ = 2 · 2 + 1 · (−1) = 3.
We see that u and v are not orthogonal with respect to that inner product. But using the inner product
in Problem 37, we have
(u, v) = 2 · 2 + 4(1) · (−1) = 0,
and so u and v are orthogonal with respect to that inner product.

The proof is very similar to that given in the text for Theorem 7.5.
3. Letting w1 = ⟨1, 0, 1⟩, w2 = ⟨0, 1, 0⟩, and w3 = ⟨−1, 0, 1⟩ we have
w1 · w2 = (1)(0) + (0)(1) + (1)(0) = 0
w1 · w3 = (1)(−1) + (0)(0) + (1)(1) = 0
w2 · w3 = (0)(−1) + (1)(0) + (0)(1) = 0
so the vectors are orthogonal. We also compute
||w1 ||2 = 12 + 02 + 12 = 2
||w2 ||2 = 02 + 12 + 02 = 1
||w3 ||2 = (−1)2 + 02 + 12 = 2
and, with u = ⟨10, 7, −13⟩,
u · w1 = (10)(1) + (7)(0) + (−13)(1) = −3
u · w2 = (10)(0) + (7)(1) + (−13)(0) = 7
u · w3 = (10)(−1) + (7)(0) + (−13)(1) = −23.
Then, using the result given before the solution to this problem, we have

w1 · w2 = (2)(1) + (1)(2) + (−2)(2) + (0)(1) = 0
w1 · w3 = (2)(3) + (1)(−4) + (−2)(1) + (0)(3) = 0
w1 · w4 = (2)(5) + (1)(−2) + (−2)(4) + (0)(−9) = 0
w2 · w3 = (1)(3) + (2)(−4) + (2)(1) + (1)(3) = 0
w2 · w4 = (1)(5) + (2)(−2) + (2)(4) + (1)(−9) = 0
w3 · w4 = (3)(5) + (−4)(−2) + (1)(4) + (3)(−9) = 0
so the vectors are orthogonal. We also compute
||w1 ||2 = 22 + 12 + (−2)2 + 02 = 9
||w2 ||2 = 12 + 22 + 22 + 12 = 10
||w3 ||2 = 32 + (−4)2 + 12 + 32 = 35
||w4 ||2 = 52 + (−2)2 + 42 + (−9)2 = 126
and, with u = ⟨1, 2, 4, 3⟩,
u · w1 = (1)(2) + (2)(1) + (4)(−2) + (3)(0) = −4
u · w2 = (1)(1) + (2)(2) + (4)(2) + (3)(1) = 16
u · w3 = (1)(3) + (2)(−4) + (4)(1) + (3)(3) = 8
u · w4 = (1)(5) + (2)(−2) + (4)(4) + (3)(−9) = −10.

23. Since u3 depends on u1 and u2 we would expect the Gram-Schmidt process to yield a pair of orthogonal vectors
v1 and v2 , with a third vector v3 that is 0. This is because u3 lies in the subspace W2 of R3 spanned by u1
and u2 , and hence the projection of u3 onto W2 is u3 itself. In other words,
u3 · v2
u3 · v1
u3 · v2
u3 · v1

v2 so v3 = u3 −
v1 +
v2 = 0.
u3 = projW3 u3 =
v1 · v1
v2 · v2
v1 · v1
v2 · v2
To carry out the orthogonalization process we take v1 = u1 = ⟨1, 1, 3⟩. Then, using u2 · v1 = 8 and v1 · v1 = 11
we obtain
v2 = u2 −

The points are the vertices of a right triangle.
39. A direction vector of the given line is ⟨4, −2, 6⟩. A parallel line containing (7, 3, −5) is (x−7)/4 = (y −3)/(−2) =
(z + 5)/6.
40. A normal to the plane is ⟨8, 3, −4⟩. The line with this direction vector and through (5, −9, 3) is x = 5 + 8t,
y = −9 + 3t, z = 3 − 4t.
41. The direction vectors are ⟨−2, 3, 1⟩ and ⟨2, 1, 1⟩. Since ⟨−2, 3, 1⟩ · ⟨2, 1, 1⟩ = 0, the lines are orthogonal. Solving
1 − 2t = x = 1 + 2s, 3t = y = −4 + s, we obtain t = −1 and s = 1. The point (3, −3, 0) obtained by letting
t = −1 and s = 1 is common to the two lines, so they do intersect.
42. Vectors in the plane are ⟨2, 3, 1⟩ and ⟨1, 0, 2⟩. A normal vector is ⟨2, 3, 1⟩ × ⟨1, 0, 2⟩ = ⟨6, −3, −3⟩ = 3⟨2, −1, −1⟩.
An equation of the plane is 2x − y − z = 0
43. The lines are parallel with direction vector ⟨1, 4, −2⟩. Since (0, 0, 0) is on the first line and (1, 1, 3) is on the second
line, the vector ⟨1, 1, 3⟩ is in the plane. A normal vector to the plane is thus ⟨1, 4, −2⟩ × ⟨1, 1, 3⟩ = ⟨14, −5, −3⟩.
An equation of the plane is 14x − 5y − 3z = 0.

52. The intersection W1 ∩ W2 is a subspace of V . If x and y are in W1 ∩ W2 then x and y are in each subspace
and so x + y is in each subspace. That is, x + y is in W1 ∩ W2 . Similarly, if x is in W1 ∩ W2 then x is in each
subspace and so kx is in each subspace. That is, kx is in W1 ∩ W2 for any scalar k.
#
#
The union W1 ∪ W2 is generally not a subspace. For example, W1 = {⟨x, y⟩ # y = x} and W2 = {⟨x, y⟩ # y = 2x}
are subspaces of R2 . Now ⟨1, 1⟩ is in W1 and ⟨1, 2⟩ is in W2 but ⟨1, 1⟩ + ⟨1, 2⟩ = ⟨2, 3⟩ is not in W1 ∪ W2 .

23. From x1 Na + x2 H2 O → x3 NaOH + x4 H2 we obtain the system x1 = x3 , 2x2 = x3 + 2x4 , x2 = x3 . We see
that x1 = x2 = x3 , so the second equation becomes 2x1 = x1 + 2x4 or x1 = 2x4 . A solution of the system is
x1 = x2 = x3 = 2t, x4 = t. Letting t = 1 we obtain the balanced equation 2Na + 2H2 O → 2NaOH + H2 .

24. From x1 KClO3 → x2 KCl + x3 O2 we obtain the system x1 = x2 , x1 = x2 , 3x1 = 2x3 . Letting x3 = t we see that
a solution of the system is x1 = x2 = 32 t, x3 = t. Taking t = 3 we obtain the balanced equation
2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 .
25. From x1 Fe3 O4 + x2 C → x3 Fe + x4 CO we obtain the system 3x1 = x3 , 4x1 = x4 , x2 = x4 . Letting x1 = t we
see that x3 = 3t and x2 = x4 = 4t. Taking t = 1 we obtain the balanced equation
Fe3 O4 + 4C → 3Fe + 4CO.
26. From x1 C5 H8 + x2 O2 → x3 CO2 + x4 H2 O we obtain the system 5x1 = x3 , 8x1 = 2x4 , 2x2 = 2x3 + x4 . Letting
x1 = t we see that x3 = 5t, x4 = 4t, and x2 = 7t. Taking t = 1 we obtain the balanced equation
C5 H8 + 7O2 → 5CO2 + 4H2 O.
27. From x1 Cu + x2 HNO3 → x3 Cu(NO3 )2 + x4 H2 O + x5 NO we obtain the system
x1 = 3,
x2 = 2x4 ,
x2 = 2x3 + x5 ,
3x2 = 6x3 + x4 + x5 .
Letting x4 = t we see that x2 = 2t and
2t = 2x3 + x5
6t = 6x3 + t + x5
Then x3 =
3
4t
and x5 =
1
2 t.
Finally, x1 = x3 =
3
4 t.
2x3 + x5 = 2t
or
6x3 + x5 = 5t.
Taking t = 4 we obtain the balanced equation
3Cu + 8HNO3 → 3Cu(NO3 )2 + 4H2 O + 2NO.
28. From x1 Ca3 (PO4 )2 + x2 H3 PO4 → x3 Ca(H2 PO4 )2 we obtain the system
3x1 = x3 ,
2x1 + x2 = 2x3 ,
8x1 + 4x2 = 8x3 ,
3x2 = 4x3 .
Letting x1 = t we see from the first equation that x3 = 3t and from the fourth equation that x2 = 4t. These
choices also satisfy the second and third equations. Taking t = 1 we obtain the balanced equation
Ca3 (PO4 )2 + 4H3 PO4 → 3Ca(H2 PO4 )2 .

Since the rank of the matrix is 4 and there are 4 vectors, the vectors are linearly independent.
15. Since the number of unknowns is n = 8 and the rank of the coefficient matrix is r = 3, the solution of the
system has n − r = 5 parameters.
16. (a) The maximum possible rank of A is the number of rows in A, which is 4.
(b) The system is inconsistent if rank(A) < rank(A/B) = 2 and consistent if rank(A) = rank(A/B) = 2.
(c) The system has n = 6 unknowns and the rank of A is r = 3, so the solution of the system has n − r = 3
parameters.
17. Since 2v1 + 3v2 − v3 = 0 we conclude that v1 , v2 , and v3 are linearly dependent. Thus, the rank of A is at
most 2.
18. Since the rank of A is r = 3 and the number of equations is n = 6, the solution of the system has n − r = 3
parameters. Thus, the solution of the system is not unique.
19. The system consists of 4 equations, so the rank of the coefficient matrix is at most 4, and the maximum number
of linearly independent rows is 4. However, the maximum number of linearly independent columns is the same
384
8.4 Determinants
as the maximum number of linearly independent rows. Thus, the coefficient matrix has at most 4 linearly
independent columns. Since there are 5 column vectors, they must be linearly dependent.

35. Since C11 = 4, C12 = 5, and C13 = −6, we have a21 C11 + a22 C12 + a23 C13 = (−1)(4) + 2(5) + 1(−6) = 0. Since
C12 = 5, C22 = −7, and C23 = −3, we have a13 C12 + a23 C22 + a33 C32 = 2(5) + 1(−7) + 1(−3) = 0.
36. Since C11 + −7, C12 = −8, and C13 = −10 we have a21 C11 + a22 C12 + a23 C13 = −2(−7) + 3(−8) − 1(−10) = 0.
Since C12 = −8, C22 = −19, and C32 = −7 we have a13 C12 + a23 C22 + a33 C32 = 5(−8) − 1(−19) − 3(−7) = 0.

34. Since det A · det A−1 = det AA−1 = det I = 1, we see that det A−1 = 1/ det A. If A is orthogonal, det A =
det AT = det A−1 = 1/ det A and (det A)2 = 1, so det A = ±1.
35. Since A and B are nonsingular, det AB = det A · det B ̸= 0, and AB is nonsingular.
36. Suppose A is singular. Then det A = 0, det AB = det A · det B = 0, and AB is singular.
37. Since det A · det A−1 = det AA−1 = det I = 1, det A−1 = 1/ det A.
38. Suppose A2 = A and A is nonsingular. Then A2 A−1 = AA−1 , and A = I. Thus, if A2 = A, either A is
singular or A = I.
39. If A is nonsingular, then A−1 exists, and AB = 0 implies A−1 AB = A−1 0, so B = 0.
40. If A is nonsingular, A−1 exists, and AB = AC implies A−1 AB = A−1 AC, so B = C.

Further examples indicate that 1 is always an eigenvalue with corresponding eigenvector (1, 1, 1). To prove
this, let A be a stochastic matrix and K = (1, 1, 1). Then

These powers of A are also stochastic matrices. To prove that this is true in general for 2 × 2 matrices, we
prove the more general theorem that any product of 2 × 2 stochastic matrices is stochastic. Let
!
"
"
!
a11 a12
b11 b12
A=
and B =
b21 b22
a21 a22
be stochastic matrices. Then
AB =
!
a11 b11 + a12 b21
a11 b12 + a12 b22
a21 b11 + a22 b21
a21 b12 + a22 b22
"
.
The sums of the rows are
a11 b11 + a12 b21 + a11 b12 + a12 b22 = a11 (b11 + b12 ) + a12 (b21 + b22 )
= a11 (1) + a12 (1) = a11 + a12 = 1
a21 b11 + a22 b21 + a21 b12 + a22 b22 = a21 (b11 + b12 ) + a22 (b21 + b22 )
= a21 (1) + a22 (1) = a21 + a22 = 1.
Thus, the product matrix AB is stochastic. It follows that any power of a 2 × 2 matrix is stochastic. The
proof in the case of an n × n matrix is very similar.

28. Expanding along the first row we see that the result is an expression of the form ay + bx2 + cx + d = 0, which
is a parabola since, in this case a ̸= 0 and b ̸= 0. Letting x = 1 and y = 2 we note that the first and second
rows are the same. Similarly, when x = 2 and y = 3, the first and third rows are the same; and when x = 3

3x2 = 3x3 +2x4 +x5 . Letting x4 = x2 in the fourth equation we obtain x2 = 3x3 +x5 . Taking x1 = t we see that
x3 = 2t, x2 = 2t + 2x5 , and x2 = 6t + x5 . From the latter two equations we get x5 = 4t. Taking t = 1 we have
x1 = 1, x2 = 10, x3 = 2, x4 = 10, and x5 = 4. The balanced equation is I2 +10HNO3 → 2HIO3 +10NO2 +4H2 O.

vp (t) = s cos θi + (s sin θ − 32t)j

Now, the horizontal component of rp (t) will be x0 when t = x0 /s cos θ at which time the vertical component of

Thus, rp (x0 /s cos θ) = rt (x0 /s cos θ) and the projectile will strike the target as it falls.
18. The initial angle is θ = 0, the initial height is 1024 ft, and the initial speed is s = 180(5280)/3600 = 264 ft/s.
Then x(t) = 264t and y(t) = −16t2 +1024. Solving y(t) = 0 we see that the pack hits the ground at t = 8 seconds
The horizontal distance travelled is x(8) = 2112 feet. From the figure in the text, tan α = 1024/2112 = 16/33
and α ≈ 0.45 radian or 25.87◦ .

21. By Problem 19, a = v 2 /r0 = 15302 /(4000 · 5280) ≈ 0.1108. We are given mg = 192, so m = 192/32 and
we = 192 − (192/32)(0.1108) ≈ 191.33 lb.
22. By Problem 19, the centripetal acceleration is v 2 /r0 . Then the horizontal force is
mv 2 /r0 . The vertical force is 32m. The resultant force is U = (mv 2 /r0 )i + 32mj.
From the figure, we see that tan φ = (mv 2 /r0 )/32m = v 2 /32r0 . Using r0 = 60 and
v = 44 we obtain tan φ = 442 /32(60) ≈ 1.0083 and φ ≈ 45.24◦ .

24. Since the projectile is launched from ground level, s0 = 0. To find the maximum height we maximize
y(t) = − 12 gt2 + (v0 sin θ)t. Solving y ′ (t) = −gt + v0 sin θ = 0, we see that t = (v0 /g) sin θ is a critical point.

25. Letting r(t) = x(t)i + y(t)j + z(t)k, the equation dr/dt = v is equivalent to dx/dt = 6t2 x, dy/dt = −4ty 2 ,
dz/dt = 2t(z + 1). Separating variables and integrating, we obtain dx/x = 6t2 dt, dy/y 2 = −4t dt, dz/(z + 1) =
2t dt, and ln x = 2t3 + c1 , −1/y = −2t2 + c2 , ln(z + 1) = t2 + c3 . Thus,

where c = ∥c∥

(kM u + d) · r = (kM u + d) · ru = kM ru · u + rd · u

(h) First note that c > 0 (otherwise there is no orbit) and d > 0 (since the orbit is not a circle). We recognize
the equation in (g) to be that of a conic section with eccentricity e = d/kM . Since the orbit of the planet
is closed it must be an ellipse.
(i) At perihelion c = ∥c∥ = ∥r × v∥ = r0 v0 sin(π/r) = r0 v0 . Since r is minimum at this point, we want the
denominator in the equation r0 = [c2 /kM ]/[1 + (d/kM ) cos θ] to be maximum. This occurs when θ = 0. In

The maximum and minimum values of Du U (x, y) are obtained when u is in the directions ∇U and −∇U ,
respectively. Thus, at a point (x, y), not (0, 0), the directions of maximum and minimum increase in U are
xi + yj and −xi − yj, respectively. A vector at (x, y) in the direction ±(xi + yj) lies on a line through the origin.
37. ∇f = (3x2 − 12)i + (2y − 10)j. Setting |∇f | = [(3x2 − 12)2 + (2y − 10)2 ]1/2 = 0, we obtain 3x2 − 12 = 0 and
2y − 10 = 0. The points where |∇f | = 0 are (2, 5) and (−2, 5).

Solving for α and β, we obtain α = 13 and β = −13/6. Thus, ∇f (a, b) = 13i − (13/6)j.
39. ∇T = 4xi + 2yj; ∇T (4, 2) = 16i + 4j. The minimum change in temperature (that is, the maximum decrease
in temperature) is in the direction −∇T (4, 3) = −16i − 4j.
40. Let x(t)i + y(t)j be the vector equation of the path. At (x, y) on this curve, the direction of a tangent vector is
x′ (t)i + y ′ (t)j. Since we want the direction of motion to be −∇T (x, y), we have x′ (t)i + y ′ (t)j = −∇T (x, y) =
4xi + 2yj. Separating variables in dx/dt = 4x, we obtain dx/x = 4 dt, ln x = 4t + c1 , and x = C1 e4t . Separating
variables in dy/dt = 2y, we obtain dy/y = 2 dt, ln y = 2t + c2 , and y = C2 e2t . Since x(0) = 4 and y(0) = 2, we

Directional Derivative
have x = 4e4t and y = 2e2t . The equation of the path is 4e4t i + 2e2t j for t ≥ 0, or eliminating the parameter,
x = y 2 , y ≥ 0.
41. Let x(t)i + y(t)j be the vector equation of the path. At (x, y) on this curve, the direction of a tangent vector
is x′ (t)i + y ′ (t)j. Since we want the direction of motion to be ∇T (x, y), we have x′ (t)i + y ′ (t)j = ∇T (x, y) =
−4xi − 2yj. Separating variables in dx/dt = −4x we obtain dx/x = −4 dt, ln x = −4t + c1 and x = C1 e−4t .
Separating variables in dy/dt = −2y we obtain dy/y = −2 dt, ln y = −2t + c2 and y = C2 e−2t . Since x(0) = 3
and y(0) = 4, we have x = 3e−4t and y = 4e−2t . The equation of the path is 3e−4t i + 4e−2t j, or eliminating the
parameter, 16x = 3y 2 , y ≥ 0.
42. Substituting x = 0, y = 0, z = 1, and T = 500 into T = k/(x2 + y 2 + z 2 ) we see that k = 500 and
T (x, y, z) = 500/(x2 + y 2 + z 2 ) . To find the rate of change of T at ⟨2, 3, 3⟩ in the direction of ⟨3, 1, 1⟩ we first
compute ⟨3, 1, 1⟩ − ⟨2, 3, 3⟩ = ⟨1, −2, −2⟩. Then u = 13 ⟨1, −2, −2⟩ = 13 i − 32 j − 23 k. Now

exy + g(y). Then fy = 3xy 2 + xexy + g ′ (y) = −2y 2 + 3xy 2 + xexy . Thus, g ′ (y) = −2y 2 , g(y) = − 23 y 3 + c, and
f (x, y) = x3 + xy 3 + exy − 32 y 3 + C.

∇F = 2xi − 2yj + k; ∇F (0, −1, 1) = 2j + k
13. F (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 − z; ∇F = 2xi + 2yj − k. We want ∇F = c(4i + j + 21 k) or 2x = 4c, 2y = c, −1 = c/2.
From the third equation c = −2. Thus, x = −4 and y = −1. Since z = x2 + y 2 = 16 + 1 = 17, the point on the
surface is (−4, −1, −17).
14. F (x, y, z) = x3 + y 2 + z; ∇F = 3x2 i + 2yj + k. We want ∇F = c(27i + 8j + k) or 3x2 = 27c, 2y = 8c, 1 = c.
From c = 1 we obtain x = ±3 and y = 4. Since z = 15 − x3 − y 2 = 15 − (±3)3 − 16 = −1 ∓ 27, the points on
the surface are (3, 4, −28) and (−3, 4, 26).

25. The gradient of F (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 + z 2 is ∇F = 2xi + 2yj + 2zk, so the normal vector to the surface at
(x0 , y0 , z0 ) is 2x0 i + 2y0 j + 2z0 k. A normal vector to the plane 2x + 4y + 6z = 1 is 2i + 4j + 6k. Since we want
the tangent plane to be parallel to the given plane, we find c so that 2x0 = 2c, 2y0 = 4c, 2z0 = 6c or x0 = c,
√
y0 = 2c, z0 = 3c. Now, (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the surface, so c2 + (2c)2 + (3c)2 = 14c2 = 7 and c = ±1/ 2 . Thus,

the points on the surface are ( 2/2, 2 , 3 2/2) and − 2/2, − 2 , −3 2/2).
26. The gradient of F (x, y, z) = x2 − 2y 2 − 3z 2 is ∇F (x, y, z) = 2xi − 4yj − 6zk, so a normal vector to the surface at
(x0 , y0 , z0 ) is ∇F (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = 2x0 i−4y0 j−6z0 k. A normal vector to the plane 8x+4y+6z = 5 is 8i+4j+6k. Since
we want the tangent plane to be parallel to the given plane, we find c so that 2x0 = 8c, −4y0 = 4c, −6z0 = 6c
or x0 = 4c, y0 = −c, z0 = −c. Now, (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the surface, so (4c)2 − 2(−c)2 − 3(−c)2 = 11c2 = 33 and

c = ± 3 . Thus, the points on the surface are (4 3 , − 3 , − 3) and (−4 3 , 3 , 3 ).
27. The gradient of F (x, y, z) = x2 + 4x + y 2 + z 2 − 2z is ∇F = (2x + 4)i + 2yj + (2z − 2)k, so a normal to the
surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is (2x0 + 4)i + 2y0 j + (2z0 − 2)k. A horizontal plane has normal ck for c ̸= 0. Thus, we
want 2x0 + 4 = 0, 2y0 = 0, 2z0 − 2 = c or x0 = −2, y0 = 0, z0 = c + 1. since (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the surface,
(−2)2 + 4(−2) + (c + 1)2 − 2(c + 1) = c2 − 5 = 11 and c = ±4. The points on the surface are (−2, 0, 5) and
(−2, 0, −3).
28. The gradient of F (x, y, z) = x2 + 3y 2 + 4z 2 − 2xy is ∇F = (2x − 2y)i + (6y − 2x)j + 8zk, so a normal to the
surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is 2(x0 − y0 )i + 2(3y0 − x0 )j + 8z0 k.
(a) A normal to the xz plane is cj for c ̸= 0. Thus, we want 2(x0 − y0 ) = 0, 2(3y0 − x0 ) = c, 8z0 = 0 or x0 = y0 ,
3y0 − x0 = c/2, z0 = 0. Solving the first two equations, we obtain x0 = y0 = c/4. Since (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on
√
the surface, (c/4)2 + 3(c/4)2 + 4(0)2 − 2(c/4)(c/4) = 2c2 /16 = 16 and c = ±16/ 2 . Thus, the points on

the surface are (4/ 2 , 4/ 2 , 0) and (−4/ 2 , −4/ 2 , 0).
(b) A normal to the yz-plane is ci for c ̸= 0. Thus, we want 2(x0 − y0 ) = c, 2(3y0 − x0 ) = 0, 8z0 = 0 or x0 − y0 =
c/2, x0 = 3y0 , z0 = 0. Solving the first two equations, we obtain x0 = 3c/4 and y0 = c/4. Since (x0 , y0 , z0 )
√
is on the surface, (3c/4)2 + 3(c/4)2 + 4(0)2 − 2(3c/4)(c/4) = 6c2 /16 = 16 and c = ±16 6 . Thus, the points

on the surface are (12/ 6 , 4/ 6 , 0) on the surface are (12/ 6 , 4/ 6 , 0) and (−12/ 6 , −4/ 6 , 0).
(c) A normal to the xy-plane is ck for c ̸= 0. Thus, we want 2(x0 − y0 ) = 0, 2(3y0 − x0 ) = 0, 8z0 = c or
x0 = y0 , 3y0 − x0 = 0, z0 = c/8. Solving the first two equations, we obtain x0 = y0 = 0. Since (x0 , y0 , z0 )
is on the surface, 02 + 3(0)2 + 4(c/8)2 − 2(0)(0) = c2 /16 = 16 and c = ±16. Thus, the points on the surface
are (0, 0, 2) and (0, 0, −2).
29. If (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on x2 /a2 + y 2 /b2 + z 2 /c2 = 1, then x20 /a2 + y02 /b2 + z02 /c2 = 1 and (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the plane
xx0 /a2 + yy0 /b2 + zz0 /c2 = 1. A normal to the surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is
∇F (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = (2x0 /a2 )i + (2y0 /b2 )j + (2z0 /c2 )k.

Tangent Planes and Normal Lines
A normal to the plane is (x0 /a2 )i + (y0 /b2 )j + (z0 /c2 )k. Since the normal to the surface is a multiple of the
normal to the plane, the normal vectors are parallel and the plane is tangent to the surface.
30. If (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on x2 /a2 − y 2 /b2 + z 2 /c2 = 1, then x20 /a2 − y02 /b2 + z02 /c2 = 1 and (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the plane
xx0 /a2 − yy0 /b2 + zz0 /c2 = 1. A normal to the surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is
∇F (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = (2x0 /a2 )i − (2y0 /b2 )j + (2z0 /c2 )k.
A normal to the plane is (x0 /a2 )i − (y0 /b2 )j + (z0 /c2 )k. Since the normal to the surface is a multiple of the
normal to the plane, the normal vectors are parallel, and the plane is tangent to the surface.
31. Let F (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 − z 2 . Then ∇F = 2xi + 2yj − 2zk and a normal to the surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is
x0 i + y0 j − z0 k. An equation of the tangent plane at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is x0 (x − x0 ) + y0 (y − y0 ) − z0 (z − z0 ) = 0 or
x0 x + y0 y − z0 z = x20 + y02 − z02 . Since (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is on the surface, z02 = x20 + y02 and x20 + y02 − z02 = 0. Thus,
the equation of the tangent plane is x0 x + y0 y − z0 z = 0, which passes through the origin.

37. A normal to the surface at (x0 , y0 , z0 ) is ∇F (x0 , y0 , z0 ) = 2x0 i+2y0 j+2z0 k. Parametric equations of the normal
line are x = x0 + 2x0 t, y = y0 + 2y0 t, z = z0 + 2z0 t. Letting t = −1/2, we see that the normal line passes
through the origin.
38. The normal lines to F (x, y, z) = 0 and G(x, y, z) = 0 are Fx i + Fy j + Fz k and Gx i + Gy j + Gz k, respectively.
These vectors are orthogonal if and only if their dot product is 0. Thus, the surfaces are orthogonal at P if and
only if Fx Gx + Fy Gy + Fz Gz = 0.
39. Let F (x, y, z) = x2 + y 2 + z 2 − 25 and G(x, y, z) = −x2 + y 2 + z 2 . Then
Fx Gx + Fy Gy + Fz gz = (2x)(−2x) + (2y)(2y) + (2z)(2z) = 4(−x2 + y 2 + z 2 ).
For (x, y, z) on both surfaces, F (x, y, z) = G(x, y, z) = 0. Thus, Fx Gx + Fy Gy + Fz Gz = 4(0) = 0 and the
surfaces are orthogonal at points of intersection.

Fx Gx + Fy Gy + Fz Gz = (2x)(−1/x2 y 2 ) + (−2y)(−2/xy 3 ) + (2z)(−1)
= −2/xy 2 + 4/xy 2 − 2z = 2(1/xy 2 − z).
For (x, y, z) on both surfaces, F (x, y, z) = G(x, y, z) = 0. Thus, Fx Gx + Fy Gy + Fz Gz = 2(0) and the surfaces
are orthogonal at points of intersection.

∇ · F = div (∇f × ∇g) = ∇g · (curl ∇f ) − ∇f · (curl ∇g) = ∇g · 0 − ∇f · 0 = 0.
42. Recall that a · (a × b) = 0. Then, using Problems 31, 29, and 28,
∇ · F = div (∇f × f ∇g) = f ∇g · (curl ∇f ) − ∇f · (curl f ∇g) = f ∇g · 0 − ∇f · (∇ × f ∇g)
= −∇f · [f (∇ × ∇g) + (∇f × ∇g)] = −∇f · [f curl ∇g + (∇f × ∇g]
= −∇f · [f 0 + (∇f × ∇g)] = −∇f · (∇f × ∇g) = 0.

Problem 30, for any vector field G, div(curl G) = 0. Thus, F cannot be the curl of G.

25. Py = 1−z sin x = Qx , Qz = cos x = Ry , Rx = −y sin x = Pz and the integral is independent of path. Integrating
φx = y − yz sin x we find φ = xy + yz cos x + g(y, z). Then φy = x + z cos x + gy (y, z) = Q = x + z cos x, so
gy = 0, g(y, z) = h(z), and φ = xy + yz cos x + h(z). Now φz = y cos x + h(z) = R = y cos x, so h(z) = 0 and

Now φz = −xez + h′ (z) = R = 2 − xez , so h′ (z) = 2, h(z) = 2z, and φ = 2x − xez + y 2 − y + 2z. Thus
