ATTENTION: There are 7 questions on 4 pages. Solve all of them. Duration is one hour.
Simply giving a final result is not sufficient to answer any question, so show all the steps you
pursued to get any final result. Otherwise your answer will not be evaluated as a correct
answer.

3- (20 P) Given y" = 30x 4 + 20x 3 + 2, yeO) = 1 and y '(0) = 1. Find y(x).
y'(x) = f (30x 4 + 20x 3 + 2)dx = 6x s + 5x 4 + 2x + C,
C = 1 since y '(0) = 1. Then y'(x) = 6x s + 5x 4 + 2x + 1
y(x) = f (6x S + 5x 4 + 2x + 1)dx = x 6 + X S + x 2 + X + D
D = 1 since yeO) = 1. Hence,

y(x) = x 6 + X S + x 2 + X + 1.

y'(x) = f (30x 4 + 20x 3 + 2)dx = 6x s + 5x 4 + 2x + C,
C = 1 since y '(0) = 1. Then y'(x) = 6x s + 5x 4 + 2x + 1
y(x) = f (6x S + 5x 4 + 2x + 1)dx = x 6 + X S + x 2 + X + D
D = 1 since yeO) = 1. Hence,
