Exact Equations
Recall that in order for the differential equation to be considered exact
Equation is not exact so we can stop here.
We multiply by the integrating factor to obtain
Now we differentiate with respect to
Implicit solution:
Equilibrium solution:
Is it stable/unstable/semi-stable?
- for , the function is decreasing.
- for , the function is increasing.
- unstable.
Phase line:
-----------<-----------|----------->-----------
y < 0 0 y > 0
y' < 0 (dec) y' > 0 (inc)
y'' < 0 (ccdn) y'' > 0 (ccup)
Concavity?

- solution to init. val. problem exists
- solution is unique
- solution exists on

- solution to init. val. problem exists
- solution is unique
- solution exists on interval included in

Exercise 13
nonlinear, so exists on
Solution does not exist on line
Exercise 12
Linear diff eq. in "standard" form:
Function exists on and :
There exists a unique solution to the initial value problem and the domain of the solution is on (0, 3).
