Card 1Basic Definitions

What is a differential equation? Give three examples.

Answer

A differential equation is an equation that contains derivatives of a function. Examples: 1. dy/dx = cos x (first order) 2. d²y/dx² + k²y = 0 (second order) 3. d³y/dx³ + x(dy/dx) - 4xy = 0 (third ord

Card 2Order and Degree

How do you find the order and degree of a differential equation?

Answer

ORDER: The highest order of derivative in the equation DEGREE: The power of the highest ordered derivative Steps: 1. Identify the highest order derivative 2. Check if equation is polynomial in deriva

Card 3Order and Degree

Find the order and degree of: √(1 + (dy/dx)²) = d²y/dx²

Answer

Step 1: Eliminate the square root by squaring both sides 1 + (dy/dx)² = (d²y/dx²)² Step 2: Rearrange (dy/dx)² + 1 = (d²y/dx²)² Step 3: Identify order and degree - Highest order derivative: d²y/dx² -

Card 4Formation of Differential Equations

Form the differential equation by eliminating 'a' from: y = ax²

Answer

Step 1: Given equation y = ax² Step 2: Differentiate with respect to x dy/dx = 2ax Step 3: From original equation, a = y/x² Step 4: Substitute in the derivative dy/dx = 2(y/x²)x = 2y/x Step 5: Rea

Card 5Formation of Differential Equations

Form the differential equation from: y = Ae³ˣ + Be⁻³ˣ

Answer

Step 1: Given y = Ae³ˣ + Be⁻³ˣ (two constants A, B) Step 2: First differentiation dy/dx = 3Ae³ˣ - 3Be⁻³ˣ Step 3: Second differentiation d²y/dx² = 9Ae³ˣ + 9Be⁻³ˣ = 9(Ae³ˣ + Be⁻³ˣ) Step 4: From origi

Card 6Solution Methods

What is the method of separation of variables? When can it be used?

Answer

METHOD: Separate variables x and y on different sides of the equation Condition: Equation must be writable as f(x)dx = g(y)dy Steps: 1. Rearrange to separate variables 2. Integrate both sides 3. Add

Card 7Variable Separation

Solve: dy/dx = x√(25 - x²)

Answer

Step 1: Separate variables dy = x√(25 - x²) dx Step 2: Integrate both sides ∫dy = ∫x√(25 - x²) dx Step 3: For RHS, use substitution Let 25 - x² = t -2x dx = dt x dx = -dt/2 Step 4: Substitute ∫dy =

Card 8Homogeneous Equations

What is a homogeneous differential equation? How do you identify one?

Answer

DEFINITION: A differential equation where all terms have the same degree Identification: 1. Replace dy/dx with a constant k 2. Check if all terms have same degree in x and y Examples: ✓ Homogeneous:
