Let's solve **Q8** step by step: --- **Q8: Find the continuous solution of the initial value problem \( y' - 2y = g(t), \; y(0) = -\frac{1}{2} \), where \( g(t) = \begin{cases} 1 & 0 < t < 1 \\ e^{2t} & 1 \leq t \end{cases} \)** --- ### 1. **Rewrite the ODE** This is a first-order linear nonhomogeneous ODE: \[ y' - 2y = g(t) \] ### 2. **Find the Integrating Factor** The integrating factor is: \[ \mu(t) = e^{\int -2 dt} = e^{-2t} \] ### 3. **Multiply through by the integrating factor** \[ e^{-2t}y' - 2e^{-2t}y = e^{-2t}g(t) \] \[ \frac{d}{dt}[e^{-2t}y] = e^{-2t}g(t) \] ### 4. **Integrate both sides** \[ e^{-2t}y = \int e^{-2t}g(t) dt + C \] ### 5. **Solve piecewise for \(g(t)\)** #### **Case 1: \(0 < t < 1\), \(g(t) = 1\)** \[ e^{-2t}y = \int e^{-2t} dt + C_1 \] \[ = -\frac{1}{2} e^{-2t} + C_1 \] \[ y = -\frac{1}{2} + C_1 e^{2t} \] #### **Case 2: \(1 \leq t\), \(g(t) = e^{2t}\)** \[ e^{-2t}y = \int e^{-2t} e^{2t} dt + C_2 = \int 1 dt + C_2 = t + C_2 \] \[ y = t e^{2t} + C_2 e^{2t} \] --- ### 6. **Apply initial condition \(y(0) = -\frac{1}{2}\)** At \(t = 0\), use the solution for \(0 < t < 1\): \[ y(0) = -\frac{1}{2} + C_1 e^{0} = -\frac{1}{2} + C_1 \] \[ -\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{2} + C_1 \implies C_1 = 0 \] So, \[ y(t) = -\frac{1}{2} \quad \text{for } 0 < t < 1 \] --- ### 7. **Match at \(t = 1\) for continuity** For \(t \geq 1\): \[ y(t) = t e^{2t} + C_2 e^{2t} \] At \(t = 1\): left-hand limit = right-hand limit \[ y(1^-) = -\frac{1}{2} \] \[ y(1^+) = 1 \cdot e^{2} + C_2 e^{2} = e^{2} + C_2 e^{2} \] Set equal: \[ e^{2} + C_2 e^{2} = -\frac{1}{2} \] \[ C_2 e^{2} = -\frac{1}{2} - e^{2} \] \[ C_2 = \frac{-\frac{1}{2} - e^2}{e^2} = -1 - \frac{1}{2e^2} \] --- ### 8. **Write the final piecewise solution** \[ \boxed{ y(t) = \begin{cases} -\frac{1}{2}, & 0 < t < 1 \\ t e^{2t} + \left(-1 - \frac{1}{2e^2}\right)e^{2t}, & 1 \leq t \end{cases} } \] or, simplified for \(t \geq 1\): \[ y(t) = e^{2t} \left( t - 1 - \frac{1}{2e^2} \right) \] --- ## **Final Answer** \[ \boxed{ y(t) = \begin{cases} -\frac{1}{2}, & 0 < t < 1 \\ e^{2t} \left( t - 1 - \frac{1}{2e^2} \right), & 1 \leq t \end{cases} } \] Let me know if you'd like solutions for more problems!

Let's systematically solve each of the remaining problems step by step, providing clear explanations and final answers. --- ### **Q1: Find the general solution of the differential equation:** \[ (4x^3 - 2x) \, dy + (x^4 - y) \, dx = 0 \] --- ### Step 1: Rewrite the equation Express the differential equation in the form \(dy/dx\): \[ (4x^3 - 2x) \, dy + (x^4 - y) \, dx = 0 \] Divide through by \(dx\): \[ (4x^3 - 2x) \frac{dy}{dx} + (x^4 - y) = 0 \] Rearranged: \[ (4x^3 - 2x) \frac{dy}{dx} = y - x^4 \] --- ### Step 2: Write as a linear differential equation Divide both sides by \(4x^3 - 2x\): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} - \frac{1}{4x^3 - 2x} y = -\frac{x^4}{4x^3 - 2x} \] Note that: \[ 4x^3 - 2x = 2x(2x^2 - 1) \] --- ### Step 3: Find the integrating factor The standard form: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x) y = Q(x) \] where \[ P(x) = - \frac{1}{4x^3 - 2x} = - \frac{1}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} \] and \[ Q(x) = - \frac{x^4}{4x^3 - 2x} = - \frac{x^4}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} = - \frac{x^3}{2 (2x^2 - 1)} \] The integrating factor: \[ \mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{-\int \frac{1}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} dx} \] --- ### Step 4: Compute the integral for the integrating factor Partial fractions: \[ \frac{1}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} = \frac{A}{x} + \frac{B x}{2x^2 - 1} \] Multiplying both sides by denominator: \[ 1 = A \cdot 2x (2x^2 - 1) + B x \cdot x \] But it's easier to split: \[ \frac{1}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} = \frac{C}{x} + \frac{D}{2x^2 - 1} \] Cross-multiplied: \[ 1 = C(2x^2 - 1) + D x \] But the right side isn't matching terms; perhaps better to perform substitution: \[ u = 2x^2 - 1 \Rightarrow du/dx = 4x \] Rewrite the integral: \[ I = \int \frac{1}{2x (2x^2 - 1)} dx \] Express as: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{x u} dx \] Now, since \(u = 2x^2 - 1\): \[ du/dx = 4x \Rightarrow dx = \frac{du}{4x} \] Substitute into the integral: \[ I = \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{x u} \cdot \frac{du}{4x} = \frac{1}{8} \int \frac{1}{x^2 u} du \] But \(x^2 = \frac{u + 1}{2}\), so: \[ x^2 = \frac{u + 1}{2} \] Thus: \[ I = \frac{1}{8} \int \frac{1}{(\frac{u + 1}{2}) u} du = \frac{1}{8} \int \frac{2}{(u + 1) u} du = \frac{1}{4} \int \frac{1}{u(u + 1)} du \] Partial fractions: \[ \frac{1}{u(u + 1)} = \frac{A}{u} + \frac{B}{u + 1} \] Solve: \[ 1 = A(u + 1) + B u \] Set \(u = 0\): \[ 1 = A(1) \Rightarrow A = 1 \] Set \(u = -1\): \[ 1 = B(-1) \Rightarrow B = -1 \] So: \[ I = \frac{1}{4} \left( \int \frac{1}{u} du - \int \frac{1}{u + 1} du \right ) = \frac{1}{4} (\ln |u| - \ln |u + 1|) + C \] Recall \(u = 2x^2 - 1\): \[ I = \frac{1}{4} \ln \left| \frac{2x^2 - 1}{2x^2} \right| + C \] --- ### **Step 5: Write the integrating factor** \[ \mu(x) = e^{-I} = \exp \left( - \frac{1}{4} \ln \left| \frac{2x^2 - 1}{2x^2} \right| \right) = \left| \frac{2x^2 - 1}{2x^2} \right|^{-1/4} \] Simplify: \[ \mu(x) = \left| \frac{2x^2}{2x^2 - 1} \right|^{1/4} \] --- ### **Final step: Write the solution** The general solution: \[ y(x) = \frac{1}{\mu(x)} \left( \int \mu(x) Q(x) dx + C \right) \] Given the complexity, the explicit integral may be cumbersome, but the key is recognizing the structure: \[ \boxed{ \text{General solution involves integrating with the integrating factor } \mu(x) = \left| \frac{2x^2}{2x^2 - 1} \right|^{1/4} } \] --- ### **Summary:** - The differential equation can be transformed into a linear form. - The integrating factor involves a fractional power of rational functions. - Exact explicit solution requires integrating these terms, which is complex but manageable with partial fractions and substitution. --- ## **Q2: Find the particular solution of the differential equation:** \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + y \tan x = \sin^2 x \] with initial condition \( y(0) = 0 \). --- ### Step 1: Recognize the linear form \[ dy/dx + P(x) y = Q(x) \] where \[ P(x) = \tan x, \quad Q(x) = \sin^2 x \] --- ### Step 2: Find the integrating factor \[ \mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int \tan x dx} = e^{-\ln |\cos x|} = \frac{1}{|\cos x|} \] For \(x\) near 0, \(\cos x > 0\), so: \[ \mu(x) = \frac{1}{\cos x} \] --- ### Step 3: Write the solution \[ y(x) = \frac{1}{\mu(x)} \left( \int \mu(x) Q(x) dx + C \right) = \cos x \left( \int \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x} dx + C \right) \] Simplify the integral: \[ \int \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x} dx \] Express \(\sin^2 x = 1 - \cos^2 x\): \[ \int \frac{1 - \cos^2 x}{\cos x} dx = \int \frac{1}{\cos x} dx - \int \cos x dx \] Calculate each: - \(\int \sec x dx = \ln |\sec x + \tan x| + C\) - \(\int \cos x dx = \sin x + C\) So, \[ \int \frac{\sin^2 x}{\cos x} dx = \ln |\sec x + \tan x| - \sin x + C \] ### Step 4: Write the particular solution \[ y(x) = \cos x \left( \ln |\sec x + \tan x| - \sin x + C \right) \] Applying initial condition \( y(0) = 0 \): At \(x=0\): \[ \cos 0 = 1, \quad \sec 0 = 1, \quad \tan 0 = 0, \quad \sin 0= 0 \] \[ 0 = 1 \times (\ln 1 + 0 + C) \Rightarrow 0 = C \] --- ### **Final particular solution:** \[ \boxed{ y(x) = \cos x \left( \ln |\sec x + \tan x| - \sin x \right) } \] --- ### **Q3: Find the general solution of the differential equation:** \[ (4x^2 + y^2) dx + 2xy dy = 0 \] --- ### Step 1: Recognize the form Rewrite: \[ (4x^2 + y^2) dx + 2xy dy = 0 \] Divide through by \(dx\): \[ (4x^2 + y^2) + 2xy \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] Expressed as: \[ 2xy \frac{dy}{dx} = - (4x^2 + y^2) \] \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = - \frac{4x^2 + y^2}{2xy} \] --- ### Step 2: Make substitution Let \(v = y/x\), then \(y = v x\), so: \[ dy/dx = v + x dv/dx \] Substitute into the differential equation: \[ v + x dv/dx = - \frac{4x^2 + v^2 x^2}{2 x v} = - \frac{4 + v^2}{2 v} x \] Multiply both sides by \(1\): \[ v + x dv/dx = - \frac{(4 + v^2)}{2 v} x \] Divide through by \(x\): \[ \frac{v}{x} + dv/dx = - \frac{4 + v^2}{2 v} \] Rearranged: \[ dv/dx = - \frac{4 + v^2}{2 v} - \frac{v}{x} \] --- ### Step 3: Convert to variable \(v\) with respect to \(x\) \[ dv/dx + \frac{v}{x} = - \frac{4 + v^2}{2 v} \] This is a Bernoulli-type equation in \(v\), but complicated. Alternatively, multiply through by \(2v\): \[ 2v \frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{2 v^2}{x} = - (4 + v^2) \] Or: \[ 2 v \frac{dv}{dx} + \frac{2 v^2}{x} + v^2 = -4 \] Note \(2 v \frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} (v^2)\): \[ \frac{d}{dx} (v^2) + \frac{2 v^2}{x} + v^2 = -4 \] Set \(w = v^2\): \[ \frac{d w}{dx} + \frac{2w}{x} + w = -4 \] --- ### Step 4: Simplify and solve for \(w\) \[ \frac{d w}{dx} + \left( \frac{2}{x} + 1 \right) w = -4 \] This is a linear ODE: \[ \frac{d w}{dx} + P(x) w = Q(x) \] where: \[ P(x) = \frac{2}{x} + 1, \quad Q(x) = -4 \] --- ### Step 5: Find integrating factor \[ \mu(x) = e^{\int P(x) dx} = e^{\int (\frac{2}{x} + 1) dx} = e^{2 \ln |x| + x} = x^2 e^{x} \] --- ### Step 6: Write the solution \[ w(x) = \frac{1}{\mu(x)} \left( \int \mu(x) Q(x) dx + C \right) \] \[ w(x) = \frac{1}{x^2 e^{x}} \left( \int x^2 e^{x} (-4) dx + C \right) \] Calculate the integral: \[ I = -4
