Find the general solution of $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + 2xy = 4x$. $y = 2 + Ce^{-x^2}$
Solve $(1 + x^2)\dfrac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x} + 2xy = 4x^2$, given that $y = 1$ when $x = 0$. $y = \dfrac{4x^3}{3(1+x^2)} + \dfrac{1}{1+x^2}$
A heated object cools in a room of temperature $20°$C. Its temperature $T$ (in $°$C) at time $t$ minutes satisfies $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}T}{\mathrm{d}t} + 0.05T = 1$, with $T = 80$ when $t = 0$. - Solve the differential equation.
- Find the temperature of the object after 10 minutes.
- Find the time at which the object reaches $30°$C.
- $T = 20 + 60e^{-0.05t}$
- $T(10) = 20 + 60e^{-0.5} \approx 56.4°$C
- $t = -20\ln\left(\dfrac{1}{6}\right) = 20\ln 6 \approx 35.8$ minutes
A tank initially contains 100 litres of pure water. Brine containing 2 g/litre of salt flows in at 3 litres/min and the well-mixed solution flows out at 3 litres/min. The mass of salt in the tank at time $t$ minutes is $m$ grams. - Show that $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}m}{\mathrm{d}t} + \dfrac{3m}{100} = 6$.
- Find the integrating factor and hence solve the differential equation, given that $m = 0$ when $t = 0$.
- Find the mass of salt in the tank after 20 minutes.
- Find the limiting mass of salt as $t \to \infty$ and explain this result in context.
- Suggest one limitation of the model.
- In $= 3 \times 2$ g/min; out $= 3 \times \dfrac{m}{100}$ g/min
- $m = 200\left(1 - e^{-\frac{3t}{100}}\right)$
- $m(20) = 200\left(1 - e^{-0.6}\right) \approx 90.2$ g
- As $t \to \infty$, $m \to 200$ g or 2 g/litre - the same concentration as the inflow
- Will not be well-mixed instantly
