1. For each of the following, state whether the dierential equation is linear or nonlinear. If it is linear, state whether it is homogeneous or nonhomogeneous, and give its order and degree. (a) u + xu = x (b) uu 2xu = 0 (c) (u )2 uu = 1 (d) u + 2u + u = 0 (e) u + 2u + u = sin x (f) u + 2u + log u = 0 (g) (u )2 + (u )2 + sin u = ex 2. If f (x) and g(x) have period p, show that h(x) = af (x) + bg(x) (a, b, constant) has the period p. 3. If f (x) has period p, show that f (ax), a = 0 and f (x/b), b = 0 are periodic functions of x of periods p/a and bp, respectively. 4. Showing the details of your work, nd the Fourier series of the given f (x): (a) f (x) = x2 , (0 < x < 2)
{

(b) f (x) =

4x if 4x if

<x<0 0<x<

5. Find the Fourier series of the function f (x) = sin x (0 < x < 1), then by using the result, nd the series of function cos x (1/2 < x < 1/2). 6. Find the Fourier series of the function f (x) by (a) even expanding and (b) odd expanding of the function. { x if 0 < x < /2 f (x) = /2 if /2 < x < 7. By considering the Fourier series of the function f (x) = x2 , (1 < x < 1), 2 1 show that: 1 1 + 1 16 + = 4 9 12
