Preface
This Student Solutions Manual contains solutions to the odd-numbered exercises in the text Introduction to Differential Equations with Dynamical Systems by Stephen L. Campbell and Richard Haberman.
To master the concepts in a mathematics text the students must solve problems which sometimes may be challenging. This manual has been written focusing students needs and expectations. Instead of providing only the answer with very few steps, I include a reasonably detailed solution with a fair amount of detail when explaining the solution of the problem. The solutions are self-explanatory and consistent with the notations and terminologies used in the text book. I hope this manual will help students build problem-solving skills.
I would like to thank many people who have provided invaluable help, in many ways, in the preparation of this manual. First, I take this opportunity to thank Professor Richard Haberman for his generous expert help, constructive comments and accuracy checking. I would also like to thank Professor Stephen L. Campbell for assembling the final manuscript, Professor Peter K. Moore for facilitating support process and Ms. Vickie Kearn of the publishing company for her patience and support. Finally, I must appreciate the patience of my wife, Rukshana, and my daughters, Zareen and Ehram for their understanding and compromise of summer time that was slighted because of my busy schedule.

1-7. Substitute expression for x into the differential equation 1. x = 2e3t + 1. l.h.s. = dx = 6e3t .dt
r.h.s. = 3x 3 = 3(2e3t + 1) 3 = 6e3t . Hence l.h.s. = r.h.s. 3. x = t 1. l.h.s. = dx = 1. r.h.s = x = t1 = 1. Hence l.h.s. = r.h.s. dt t1 t1 5. x = et

2 < 1. dx 111. dt = t1/3 = f (t, x) is not continuous at t = 0 although fx = 0 is continuous everywhere. So unique solution exists for all (t0, x0) such that t0 = 0.
13. (a) Differentiating t2 + x2 = c wrt(with respect to) t we get,

2t + 2x dx = 0 dx t . Hence t2 + x2 = c definesdt dt = x
a solution.
(b) graph (c) At x0 = 0, as f (t, x) = t and fx = t are discontinuous at x x2
this point. 2 dx 15. (a) Differentiating t + x = c wrt t we get, 1 + 2x dt = 0.
Hence t + x2 = c defines a solution.
(b) graph (c) Here dx 1 = f (t, x) and fx = 1 are discontinuous at 2dt = 2x 2x
x0 = 0. Hence the theorem fails to hold at this point. 17. (a) Differentiating x = c sin t wrt t we get,
dx x cos t = c cos t = c cos t = cx = x cot t. dt x c sin t Hence x = c sin t defines a solution.
(b) graph (c) Here dx = x cos t = f (t, x) and fx = cos t are discontinuous dt sin t sin t
when sin t = 0 t = n for n = 0, 1, 2, ...Hence the theorem fails to hold at the point t0 = n for n = 0, 1, 2, ...
19. (a) Differentiating x = 1 wrt t we get, dx 1 2 . t+c dt = (t+c)2 = xHence x = 1 defines a solution. t+c
(b) graph (c) Here dx = x2 = f (t, x) and fx = 2x are continuous dt
everywhere. Hence there is NO point where the theorem fails to holds.
21. (a) For x = 1, l.h.s. is dx = 0 and r.h.s. = (x 1)1/5 = 0.dt For x =
( 4 t + c
)5/4 + 1, l.h.s. is dx =
( 4 t + c

4 t + c)1/4
.5 5
(b) By separating the variables we get, dx = dt which, on (x1)1/5
integration, becomes x = (
45 t + c
)5/4 + 1. Then using the
initial condition x0 = 1 for any t0 we get c = 4 t0 and thus 5 one solution is x =
( 45 t 54 t0
)5/4 + 1. Another solution is
clearly x = 1 because it satisfies the initial condition as well as the differential equation. So there are at least two solutions through the point (t0, x0) with x0 = 1.
(c) Graph (d) Although f (t, x) = (x 1)1/5 is continuous everywhere,
fx = 1 is not continuous at x0 = 1. As a result, (x1)4/5 uniqueness does not hold and two solutions in part (b) is not a surprise.

xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn + 0.5 (xn tn), where tn+1 = tn + h to approximate x1 = x0 + h (x0 t0) = 1 + 0.5(1 0) = 1.5 at t1 = 0.5 x2 = x1 + h (x1 t1) = 1.5 + 0.5(1.5 0.5) = 2 at t2 = 1 x3 = x2 + h (x2 t2) = 2 + 0.5(2 1) = 2.5 at t3 = 1.5 x4 = x3 + h (x3 t3) = 2.5 + 0.5(2.5 1.5) = 3 at t4 = 2 So estimate for x(2) is x4 = 3.
3. dx = tx2 = f (t, x) , t0 = 0, x0 = 1, h = 1. We use recursive formula, dt xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn tnx2 , where tn+1 = tn + hnto approximate

So estimate for x(2) is x2 = 0.
5. dx = 2x 4t = f (t, x) , t0 = 0, x0 = 1, h = 0.5. We use recursive dt formula, xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn + 0.5 (2xn 4tn) = 2 (xn tn) , where tn+1 = tn + h to approximate x1 = 2 (x0 t0) = 2(1 0) = 2 at t1 = 0.5 x2 = 2 (x1 t1) = 2(2 0.5) = 3 at t2 = 1 x3 = 2 (x2 t2) = 2(3 1) = 4 at t3 = 1.5 x4 = 2 (x3 t3) = 2(4 1.5) = 5 at t4 = 2 So estimate for x(2) is x4 = 5.
7. dx = sin x = f (t, x) , t0 = 0, x0 = 0, h = 0.5. We use recursive dt formula, xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn + 0.5 (sin xn) , where tn+1 = tn + h to approximate x1 = x0 + 0.5 sin x0 = 0 at t1 = 0.5 x2 = x1 + 0.5 sin x1 = 0 at t2 = 1 Similarly, xi = 0 at ti for all i = 0, 1, ..., 8. So estimate for x(4) is x8 = 0.
9. (a) dx = 20x = f (t, x) , t0 = 0, x0 = 1, h = 0.2.dt We use recursive formula, xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn + 0.2 (20xn) = 3xn. Here xn = (3)n at tn = 0.2n, n = 0, 1, 2, ...
10 So estimate for x(2) is x10 = (3) = 59049.
(b) xn oscillates wildly as n . x(2) = e40 = 4.248 1018 . So x10 = 59049 is not a very good approximation.
11. (a) dx = 20x = f (t, x) , t0 = 0, x0 = 1, h = 0.01.dt We use recursive formula, xn+1 = xn + hf (tn, xn) = xn + 0.01 (20xn) = 0.8xn. Here xn = (0.8)
n at tn = 0.01n, n = 0, 1, 2, ...
200 So estimate for x(2) is x200 = (0.8) = 4.1495 1020 .
(b) In this case, xn 0 as n , so the numerical solution behaves like the actual solution x = e20t and the statement x200 x(2) = e40 = 4.248 1018 is not too bad.

2 = 2.6764 + 1.4326 = 4.109 at t5 = 1 So estimate for x(1) is x5 = 4.109. For h = 0.1 use the same formula and procedure as above. There are 11 points this time, that is 10 steps after initial step and the estimates for x(1) is x10 = 6.1289.

So let xp = Ate7t . Substituting this in the equation we get, Ae7t + 7Ate7t 7Ate7t = 8e7t A = 8. Thus the general solution is x = 8te7t + ce7t .

So
x(t) = 2e2t for 0 t < 1. For 1 t 2, p(t) = 1 and so dx + x = 0 x(t) = c2et . In order for x to be continuous dt at t = 1 we must have lim x(t) = x(1) 2e2 = c2e1

doubling time, denoted by td as = ln 2 , and we will use this td k formula throughout this section. 1. In this problem, the growth rate is k = 1.5% = 0.015 and so
doubling time, td = ln 2 = ln 2 46.2 years.k 0.015 3. Using td = 8 hours = 3

Doubling time, td = ln 2 = ln 2 23.10 years.k 0.03 With the 3% yield:
Yield = ek 1 = 0.03 ek = 1.03 k = ln (1.03) . So, in this case
ln 2 ln 2 Doubling time, td = = ln(1.03) 23.45 years. k 13. Here, the growth after one year is
ek 1 = 0.064 ek = 1.064 k = ln (1.064) .
ln 2
Then td = ln(1.064) 11.17 years. 15. This is the case of exponential growth. So x(t) = x(0)ekt, k > 0.
The cost of living rose from x(0) = 10, 000 to x(1) = 11, 000 in one year, that is, t = 1. So 11000 = 10000ek ek = 1.1 k = ln (1.1) 0.0953 = 9.53% per year.
17. Using the half-life formula T = ln 2 = 16 days, we get k = ln 2 .k 16 At the end of t = 30 days, x(t) = 30 g. Then x(t) = x(0)ekt

So 0.801 x(0) = x(0)e10k e10k = 0.8 10k = ln (0.8)
k = 10 ln (0.8) . ln 2 ln 2 (a) Half-life: T = = 10 ln(0.8) 31.063 years. k

Thus it will take 85.018 10 = 75.018 additional years. 21. Newtons law of cooling dT = k (T Q0) has particular solution Q0dt
so the general solution is T (t) = Q0 + cekt . Here Q0 = 30. Using the initial temperature T (0) = 200, we get 200 = 30 + c
c = 170. Thus T (t) = 30 + 170ekt . Again, using T (10) = 180,15 we get, 180 = 30 + 170e10k 170e10k = 150 e10k = 17

(b) T (t) = 30 + cekt , where we previously had k = ln 17ln 15 .10 At t = 0, T = 200, so c = 170 and T (t) = 30 + 170ekt .

c = 60. Thus T (t) = 40 + 60ekt . Again, using T (10) = 60,e10k 1we get, 60 = 40 + 60e10k 60e10k = 20 = 3

dT rt dt + T = 20 + 10t. Let T1 = rt e be the solution of the
homogeneous equation. Then re + ert = 0 r = 1. Thus T1 = cet . Substituting Tp = A + Bt we get,
B+ A + Bt = 20 + 10t. Equating the coefficients of t and 1 we have B = 10 and A + B = 20 A = 10. Thus the general solution is T (t) = 10 + 10t + ce
t . Using the initial temperature
T (0) = 40 we get, 40 = 10 + c c = 30. Hence the solution is T (t) = 10 + 10t + 30et .
27. (a) Let the amount invested be $A. The 6% interest rate will effect the amount in excess of $500. So the amount of interest per year will be $0.06 (A 500) . Thus the rate of change of money can be written as the differential equation dA = 0.06 (A 500) with dt initial condition A(0) = 2000.
(b) dA 0.06A = 30. Let Ap = 30 B = 500 dt = B 0.06B Ap = 500 and Ah = ce0.06t . So the general solution is
0.06tA(t) = 500 + ce . Using initial condition A(0) = 2000 we get,
c = 1500. Thus A(t) = 500 + 1500e0.06t .
After 10 years the amount will be A(10) = $3233.18.

1. (a) Let Q be the amount of salt in the tank of volume V = 300. This volume is constant as water is flowing in and out at the same rate (2 gal/min). So the concentration of salt is C = Q . The 300 inflow and outflow rate of salt are 2(0.4) and 2 Q 300 , respectively. Thus the rate of change in salt can be written as dQ dQ Q= 2(0.4) 2 Q + = 0.8. Substituting Qp = Adt 300 dt 150

r = 150 150 .
Thus Q(t) = 120 + ke 150 . Using initial condition

3. (a) Let Q be the amount of salt in the tank of volume V = 100. This
volume is constant as water is flowing in and out at the same

inflow and outflow rate of salt are 5(0.2) and 4 Q (evaporated100 water contains no salt so that Q = 0), respectively.
Thus the rate of change in salt can be written as
dQ dQ Q= 5(0.2) 4 Q + = 1. Substituting Qp = Adt 100 dt 25

Thus Q(t) = 25 + ke 25 . Using initial condition

Q(t) = 25 15e t and C(t) = Q(t) = 0.25 0.15e t25 25 .100
(b) No. lim C(t) = 0.25 > 0.2. t
5. (a) Let Q be the amount of iodine in the tank. Water is flowing in
and out at a different rate and so the volume is changing as
dV = 6 1 = 5 V (t) = 5t + 500 since the initial half-volume is dt
Q500 gal. Concentration of iodine is C = 5t+500 . The inflow and
24 CHAPTER 1
outflow rate of iodine are 0 (Pure water has no concentration) and Q1 5t+500 , respectively. Thus the rate of change in iodine can be
written as dQ Q dQ dt dt = 5t+500 Q = 5t+500 1ln Q = ln (5t + 500) + k1 Q(t) = k2 (5t + 500)1/5 5

100 )1/5
Hence Q(t) = 10 t+100 . Since volume increases as t increases,
tank will overflow when V = 1000. That is, tank overflows when 5t + 500 = 1000 means at t = 100. So for 0 t 100, (
100 )1/5
Q(t)Q(t) = 10 t+100 and C(t) = 5t+500 .
(b) Tank overflows when t = 100. After overflow, V = 1000 and C = Q . During overflow, mixture is leaving at the rate of 6 gal/min 1000
dQ 6Q(as pure water is entering at this rate) and so for t 100, dt = 1000 . 3 3
500 500 Since it has constant coefficients, Q(t) = c2e t = c2e (t100). In order for Q(t) to be continuous at t = 100 we must have

7. Let Q be the amount of pollutant in the lake. Water is flowing in and out at a different rate and so the volume is changing as dV = 5 2 = 3 V (t) = 3t + 1000 since the initial volume is 1000 dt
QkL. Concentration of pollutant is C = 3t+1000 . The inflow and
outflow rate of pollutant are 5 7 and 2 Q , respectively. Thus 3t+1000 the rate of change in pollutant can be written as dQ = 35 2Q
2 dt 3t+1000
dQ + 2Q = 35. The integrating factor is e
3t+1000 dt = eln(3t+1000)2/3
Q 3t+1000
= (3t + 1000)2/3 . Multiplying by integrating factor and rearranging d 2/3we have dt
(Q (3t + 1000)2/3
) = 35 (3t + 1000)
2/3 2/3Q (3t + 1000) = 35
(3t + 1000) dt + k
Q(t) = (3t + 1000)2/3 [7 (3t + 1000)5/3 + k

Q(0) = 2000 we have, 2000 = (10)2 [7 (10)5 + k

57 (10) + k = 200000 k = 500000. Thus
5/3Q(t) = (3t + 1000)2/3
[7 (3t + 1000) 500000

= 7 (3t + 1000) 500000 (3t + 1000)2/3 and
C(t) = Q(t) = 7 500000 (3t + 1000)5/3 .3t+1000

Equating the coefficients of cos t and sin t we get:
cos t : A + B = 0
sin t : A B = 1
Solving these equations for A and B by adding we get,
A = 1 , B = 1 . Thus ip = 1 sin t 1 cos t. Taking2 2 2 2 i1 = ert in the differential equation we have, r = 1 i1 = cet . Thus i (t) = 1 sin t 1 cos t + cet . At t = 0, i(0) =

Using the initial condition i(0) = 0 we get 0 = 9 + c1 c1 = 9.

For 10 t 20, Ri = v = i, L = 1, e = 0.

Substituting all these we get, di + i = 0. This is a homogeneous dt equation and, in fact, the homogeneous part of the above equation. So i(t) = c2et . In order for i(t) to be continuous at t = 10 we must have lim i(t) = i(10) 9 9e10 = c2e10

C dt dt 0.5 dt + q = 3 sin t. Substituting qp = A sin t + B cos t in this dt
equation we get A cos t B sin t + A sin t + B cos t = 3 sin t. Equating the coefficients of cos t and sin t we get: cos t : A + B = 0 sin t : A B = 3 Solving these equations for A and B by adding we get, A = 32 , B = 23 . Thus qp = 32 sin t 32 cos t. Taking q1 = ert in the differential equation we have r = 1 q1 = cet . Thus q (t) = 3 (sin t cos t) + cet . At t = 0

2.1 GENERAL SOLUTION OF SECOND-ORDER LINEAR
DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
1. x = sin t x = cos t x = sin t. So x + x = sin t + sin t = 0. x = cos t x = sin t x = cos t. So x + x = 0. Thus {sin t, cos t} is a set of solutions for the associated homogeneous equation. Now xp = 1 xp
= xp = 0
and so x p + xp = 1 =r.h.s. Thus the general solution is x(t) = 1 + c1 sin t + c2 cos t. Using the initial condition x(0) = 0 we have, 0 = 1 + c2 c2 = 1. Differentiating the general solution we get, x(t) = c1 cos t c2 sin t. The initial condition x(0) = 0 gives c1 = 0. Thus the solution of the initial value problem is x(t) = 1 cos t.
3. x = et x = et x = et . So x 3x + 2x = et t + 2et 2t
2t 2t 3e
= 0. For x = e , x = 2e and x = 4e . So x 3x + 2x 2t t= 4e 6e2t + 2e2t = 0. Thus
{e , e2t
} is a set of solutions for
the associated homogeneous equation. Now xp = t + 23
x p = 1, x = 0 and so x p 3x p + 2xp = 3 + 2t + 3 = 2
t =r.h.s. p
Thus the general solution is x(t) = t + 32 + c1et + c2e2t .
Differentiating this we get, x(t) = 1 + c1et + 2c2e2t . Using the
initial conditions x(0) = 1 and x(0) = 0 we have, 1 = 32 + c1 + c2
and 0 = 1 + c1 + 2c2. Solving these equations for c1 and c2 by
subtracting them we have c2 = 21 and then c1 = 0.
Thus the solution of the initial value problem is x(t) = t + 32 1 e2t .2
5. x = et cos t x = et cos t et sin t x = et cos t + et sin t + et sin t et cos t. So x + 2x + 2x
= et cos t + et sin t + et sin t et cos t 2et cos t 2et sin t + 2et cos t
= 0. Similarly it can be shown that for x = et sin t, x + 2x + 2x = 0. Thus {et cos t, et sin t} is a set of solutions for the associated homogeneous equation. Now xp = 3 xp
= x p = 0 and so x p + 2xp
+ 2xp = 6 =r.h.s. Thus the general solution is x(t) = 3+c1et cos t+c2et sin t. Using the initial condition x(0) = 1
30 CHAPTER 2
we have, 1 = 3 + c1 c1 = 2. Differentiating the general solution we get, x(t) = c1et cos tc1et sin tc2et sin t+c2et cos t. Using x(0) = 1 and c1 = 2 we have, 1 = 2 + c2 c2 = 1.Thus the solution of the initial value problem is
x(t) = 3 2et cos t et sin t.
7. x = sin t x = cos t x = sin t. So x + x = sin t + sin t = 0. x = cos t
x = sin
t x = cos t. So x + x = 0.
Thus {sin t, cos t} is a set of solutions for the associated homogeneous equation. Now xp = t sin t, x p = sin t + t cos t, x p = cos t + cos t t sin t and so x p + xp = 2 cos t t sin t + t sin t
= 2 cos t =r.h.s. Thus the general solution is x(t) = t sin t + c1 cos t + c2 sin t. Using the initial condition x(0) = 1 we have, 1 = c1. Differentiating the general solution we get, x(t) = sin t + t cos t c1 sin t + c2 cos t. Using x(0) = 1 we have, 1 = c2. Thus the solution of the initial value problem is
x(t) = t sin t sin t + cos t. 9. (a) x = et x = et x = et . So x 3x + 2x = et 3et + 2et
2t
2t 2t= 0. For x = e , x = 2e and x = 4e . So x 3x + 2x 2t t= 4e 6e2t + 2e2t = 0. Thus
{e , e2t
} is a set of solutions for
the associated homogeneous equation. xp = 2 cosh t x = 2 sinh t, p x p = 2 cosh t. So x
p 3x + 2xp = 2 cosh t 6 sinh t + 4 cosh t = p
6 (cosh t sinh t) = 6et =r.h.s. The general solution is thus x = c1et + c2e2t + 2 cosh t. For xp = et , x p = et , x = et . So x p 3x + 2xp = p p et + 3et + 2et = 6et =r.h.s. The general solution is thus x = c1et + c2e2t + et .
(b) Using the initial conditions x(0) = 4, x(0) = 3 for the first solution we get, 4 = c1 + c2 + 2 and 3 = c1 + 2c2. Solving these equations for for c1 and c2 we have c1 = c2 = 1. Thus the solution of the initial value problem is x = et + e2t + 2 cosh t = et + e2t + et + et
= 2et + e2t + et . Using the same initial conditions for the second solution we get, 4 = c1 + c2 + 1 and 3 = c1 + 2c2 1. Solving these equations for for c1 and c2 we have c1 = 2, c2 = 1.Thus the solution of the initial value problem is x = 2et + e2t + et , which is the same as before.

(t0) = c1x 1(t0) + c2x2 (t0) = c1 0 + c2 1 = c2
Thus x3 = x1 + x2.
9. Let x1 and x2 be two solutions of Airys equation x + tx = 0,

But w = v , so that v = c csc2 (2t) . Now using integration table we get, v = c cot (2t) + c1 = c2 cos(2t) + c1. Thus the general solution 2 sin(2t) is x = v sin (2t) =

r2 + 2r + 1 = 0 (since ert = 0). Thus (r + 1)2 = 0 r = 1. 6 So x1 = et is a solution. Let x = vx1 = vet and substitute this in the original equation to get (vet) + 2 (vet) + vet = 0 vet 2vet + vet + 2vet 2vet + vet = 0, since the v (and v ) terms cancel, v et = 0 v = 0(since et = 0). 6Integrating twice we have, v = c1 + c2t.
