atchison (bma862) – Homework 5 – staron – (53940) 1 This print-out should have 40 questions. Multiple-choice questions may continue on the next column or page – find all choices before answering. 001 10.0points Consider the graph 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y Using the above graph of y ( x ), choose the equation whose solution satisfies the initial condition y (0) = 3 . 5. 1. y = y 3 x 3 2. y = y 1 3. y = y x correct 4. y = y 2 x 2 5. y = y x 2 Explanation: Let us begin by approximating the tangent line about y (0). 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y From the above graph, we can see the tan- gent line about y (0) has a slope of about 3 . 5. This tells us that y (0) 3 . 5. Now, only two of our answer choices match this property. Those are y 1 ( x ) = y ( x ) x y 2 ( x ) = y ( x ) x 2 . Now we’ll pick a different value of x and use the same method. Let us choose x = 2. 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y Looking at this tangent, we can see y ( 2) 1 . 3. We can also see that y ( 2) ≈ − 0 . 7. If we use this value in our remaining two answer choices we get y 1 ( 2) = y ( 2) + 2 ≈ − 0 . 7 + 2 = 1 . 3 y 2 ( 2) = y ( 2) 4 ≈ − 0 . 7 4 = 4 . 7 .

To show that it works, let us now look at a direction field of y 1 . 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y From this, we can see that the given graph is indeed a solution to the differential equation y = y x . 002 10.0points Consider the graph 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y Using the above graph of y ( x ), choose the equation whose solution is graphed and satis- fies the initial condition y (0) = 1 . 5 . 1. y = y x 1 2. y = y 1 correct 3. y = y + 2 4. y = y 3 x 2 5. y = y 2 x 6. y = y x 7. y = y 2 x 2 Explanation: Let us begin by approximating the tangent line about y (0). 2 2 4 2 4 6 2 x y From the above graph, we can see the tan- gent line about y (0) has a slope of about 0 . 5. This tells us that y (0) 0 . 5. Now, only three of our answer choices match this property. Those are y 1 ( x ) = y ( x ) 1 y 2 ( x ) = y ( x ) x 1 y 3 ( x ) = y ( x ) + 2 Now we’ll look similarly at x = 4. Notice that y ( 4) 0 and y ( 4) 1. If we use this value in our remaining 3 answer choices, we get y 1 ( 4) = y ( 4) 1 1 1 = 0 y 2 ( 4) = y ( 4) + 4 1 1 + 4 1 = 4 y 3 ( 4) = y ( 4) + 2 ≈ − 1 + 2 = 1 .
