Tutorial 2 Problems
1. Solve √ √
xy 0 + y = y.

2. Solve
y
ln(x)y 0 − = ln(x)y 2 .
x
3. Solve the initial value problem 5x4 y 3 + 3x5 y 2 y 0 = 0, y(1) = 1.

4. Solve (y 2 + 1) ln(x) + 2y(x ln(x) − x + 1)y 0 = 0, x > 0.

Additional examples if there is extra time:

5. Solve sin(x)(sin(y) + 1) + cos(y)(1 − cos(x))y 0 = 0.

6. Last week, you solved the differential equation

xy 0 = 2y

in three different ways (as a separable equation, as a homogeneous equation,

and as a linear equation). If we rewrite it in the form −2xy + xy 0 = 0 and then
multiply by x−3 , we get
−2x−3 y + x−2 y 0 = 0
(we will soon see how to realize that we must put it in this form). Now solve it
as an exact equation.

7. Solve
y 0 + y = y 10 .
