1. Inspect the homogeneity of the differential equation below, hence solve.

d y 6 x+ 9 y+1
=
dx
4 x +6 y
2. Given an ordinary differential equation in the form:
[ e y + cos ( x y ) +2 x ] d x[ x ey +cos ( x y )+1 ] d y=0
Test the exactness of the differential equation. Consequently obtain the general solution of the
equation.
3. A particle is moving in straight line with speed v at time t obeys the differential equation:
4
dv
= K (8 v ) 3
dt
K is a constant. At time t = 0, the initial velocity is V and at time t = T, the velocity is 8V.
Express v in term of t.
4. A spring for which the spring constant k hangs in a vertical position with its upper end fixed to a
support. A mass m (kg) is attached to the lower end and the system is brought to rest. If a force
f(t) in Newton (N) is applied to the support, the equation of the motion is given as
m

d2 x
=kx + f (t)
dt 2
Using the operator-D method, find the position of the mass, x at time t, given f(t)=70sin 2t N,
k=700 and m=28kg.
5. Solve the following differential equations:
y - 3 y ' +2 y = {{e} ^ {2 x}} over {{e} ^ {x} +1}
6. Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find the complete solution of the differential
equation.

2 x + x+ e3 x
d 2 y dy
2 y =sin
