Math 122: Chapter 9.1-10.3 Study Guide

1. Separate and solve the differential equation. Look at problems 9.1.15-24.
2. Solve the differential equation using the method of integrating factors. Look at problems 9.1.9-14.
3. Solve the initial value problem using any method. Look at problems 9.1.27-32.
4. Find all values of r that yield solutions to the differential equation. Example, let y=x^r. Find the solutions to x²y"+4xy'+2y=0. Begin by finding y' and y" and substituting into the equation. Then solve for r.
5. Find the solution to the second order differential equation. Look at problems 9.4.3-22. Three parts: find the general solution for two of them and solve the initial value problem for the third.
6. Given a direction field and an initial value, sketch the solution to the problem. Look at problems 9.2.3, 5.
7. Find the first four partial sums for the indicated series.
8. Write the first five terms of the sequence and determine whether or not the sequence converges. If it converges, find its limit. Look at problems 10.1.5-22.
9. Find the general term of the sequence, beginning with n=1. Determine whether or not the sequence converges. If it converges, find its limit. Look at problems 10.1.23-30.
10. Determine if the series converges, and if so, find its sum. Two parts.
11. Determine whether the sequence is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing using the method described. Methods can include the difference of consecutive terms, the ratio of consecutive terms, or differentiation. Three parts. Look at problems 10.2.1-18.
12. Find the limits. Two parts. This is from chapter 7.
13. Find the integrals. Three parts. This is from chapters 7 and 8.
14. Find the derivatives. Three parts. This is from chapter 7.
15. Use Euler's Method with the given step size to approximate the solution of the initial-value problem. Present your answer as a table and a graph. Use Microsoft Excel to create the table and graph. Place each problem on a separate worksheet within the same file and email it to the instructor.
16. Use WinPlot to sketch the slope fields and plot the solution curve to the initial-value problem. Be sure to generate the solution curves with both a positive and negative step size to get the entire curve. Save the graphs and email them to the instructor.
17. Differential equation application problem.
18. Differential equation application problem.
19. Differential equation application problem.
20. Differential equation application problem.
21. Differential equation application problem.

Notes

• Questions 1-14 are done in-class without a computer.
• Questions 15-19 are on a take home exam.
• The take home exam is due the day of the in-class test.
• Many of the problems are very similiar to problems from the text (not necessarily odd).
