4. Which of the following ODE's is separable? A) B) C) D)

E) ANSWER: C) is correct as e^(x+y)=(e^x)(e^y) and thus the ODE is separable.

TEST 01

C) D)

(y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable)

E) F) ANSWER: A), C), D), and F) Recall that the existence of any nonlinear term in the ODE makes the ODE itself nonlinear.

Remember in linear ODEs w/ y the dependent variable and x the independent variable, we will never see any roots or powers of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, for any y, y, y, etc or any products of derivatives of y w/ other derivatives of y or any products of y with any of its derivatives. Sometimes we must rewrite the ODE in a more suggestive form to determine whether there are any of these nonlinear terms.

7. Which answer choice is an "integrating factor" for the 1st order linear ODE?

A) B) C) D) E) ANSWER: E) is an integrating factor to this ODE. See solving Linear ODEs. 8. Which answer choice determines an implicit solution to the given exact ODE?

17. Solve the ODE. You may leave your answer as an implicit solution.

ANSWER: As this is a homogeneous ODE, we make substitutions x=vy and dx=vdy+ydv which reduce the ODE to type separable. Verify that

ln y
