    Find the general solution to each of the following differential equations:

    (a) y ′ + xy = x3
    (b) y ′ + xy = y
    x−y
    (c) y ′ =
    x+y
    (d) y + 6y ′ + 9y = 0
    ′′

    (e) y ′′ + 6y ′ + 9y = e−3t
    (f) y ′′ + y = sin t

    2. Solve (a)-(c) in problem 1 with initial condition y(0) = 1, and solve (d)-(f) in problem 1 with initial condition
    y(0) = 1, y ′ (0) = 0.

    3. Compute the Laplace transform for the following functions:



    −1,
     0≤t<1
    (a) f (t) = 0, 1≤t<2

    1, 2≤t<∞

    (b) u3 (t) e−2t

    4. Use Laplace transform to solve the following differential equations:


    (
    ′′ ′ −1, 0≤t<1
    (a) y + y = g(t), y(0) = y (0) = 0, where g(t) =
    1, 1≤t<∞
    (b) y ′′ + y = δ(t − 2), y(0) = 0, y ′ (0) = 1

    5. Use Laplace transform to solve the following differential equations:


    (
    −1, 0≤t<1
    (a) y ′′ + 2y ′ + 10y = g(t), y(0) = y ′ (0) = 0, where g(t) =
    1, 1≤t<∞
    (b) y ′′ + 2y ′ + 10y = δ(t − 2), y(0) = 0, y ′ (0) = 1

    6. Find the solution to  ′   


    x 0 1 x
    ′ =
    y 8 7 y
    if x(0) = 0 and y(0) = 3.

    7. Suppose a spring with spring constant 10 N/m is horizontal and has one end attached to a wall and the other
    end attached to a 1kg mass. Suppose that the friction of the mass with the floor (i.e., the damping constant)
    is 2 N s / m.
    The spring is then stretched for one meter and released. Assume there is no air resistance. A huge force is
    applied to the object at time t = 5, i.e., assuming the external force is 10δ(t − 5), expressed in Newtons.

    (a) Set up a differential equation with initial conditions that describes this system. Let x denote the dis-
    placement, in meters, of the mass from its equilibrium position, and give your answer in terms of
    x, x′ , x′′ . Assume that positive displacement means the mass is farther from the wall than when the
    system is at equilibrium.
    (b) Find the solution to your differential equation from the previous part.

    (Hooke’s Law: F = −κ x, where κ > 0 is the spring constant, x is the displacement from its rest position,
    and F is the restoring(reaction) force. )

    8. A 10 kilogram object suspended from the end of a vertically hanging spring stretches the spring 9.8 cen-
    timeters. At time t = 0, the spring is then stretched for an additional 7 centimeters and released. Assume
    there is no air resistance. A huge force is applied to the object at time t = 5, i.e., assuming the external
    force is 60δ(t − 5). The force is expressed in Newtons and is positive in the downward direction, and time
    is measured in seconds.

    (a) Formulate the initial value problem for y(t), where y(t) is the displacement of the object from its
    equilibrium rest state, measured positive in the downward direction.
    (b) Solve the initial value problem for y(t). Your answer should measure t in seconds and y in centimeters.

    Note that the acceleration due to gravity, g, is g = 980 cm/s2 . (Hooke’s Law: F = −κ x, where κ > 0 is the
    spring constant, x is the displacement from its rest position, and F is the restoring(reaction) force. )
