Math 286 Spring 2016 Practice Final Exam (1) Solve the initial value problem, where primes denote derivatives with respect to x , ( y 0 = y sin x, y (0) = 1 . (2) Find the general solution of the equation y 0 + 3 x 2 y = e - x 3 sin x. (3) Suppose that the characteristic equation of a differential equation is ( r 2 + 1)( r - 2) 2 = 0 . (a) Find the differential equation associated to this characteristic equation. (b) Find the general solution of the differential equation obtained from (a). (4) Consider an undamped system consisting of a mass of 4 kg on a spring with constant k = 4 N/m, and external force F ( t ) = 2 sin ωt . (a) Let ω = 2.
