(a) If u=f(x,y)u = f(x, y) where x=rcosθx = r\cos\theta and y=rsinθy = r\sin\theta, show that

(ux)2+(uy)2=(ur)2+1r2(uθ)2.\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right)^2 + \frac{1}{r^2}\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial \theta}\right)^2.

(7)

(b) Examine the function f(x,y)=x3+y33axyf(x, y) = x^3 + y^3 - 3axy (where a>0a > 0) for maxima, minima and saddle points. (7)

(a) Polar transformation identity

With x=rcosθx = r\cos\theta, y=rsinθy = r\sin\theta we have r2=x2+y2r^2 = x^2+y^2, tanθ=y/x\tan\theta = y/x.

By the chain rule,

ur=uxxr+uyyr=uxcosθ+uysinθ,\frac{\partial u}{\partial r} = \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\frac{\partial x}{\partial r} + \frac{\partial u}{\partial y}\frac{\partial y}{\partial r} = u_x\cos\theta + u_y\sin\theta, uθ=ux(rsinθ)+uy(rcosθ).\frac{\partial u}{\partial \theta} = u_x(-r\sin\theta) + u_y(r\cos\theta).

Squaring and combining:

(ur)2=ux2cos2θ+2uxuycosθsinθ+uy2sin2θ,\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right)^2 = u_x^2\cos^2\theta + 2u_x u_y\cos\theta\sin\theta + u_y^2\sin^2\theta, 1r2(uθ)2=ux2sin2θ2uxuycosθsinθ+uy2cos2θ.\frac{1}{r^2}\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial \theta}\right)^2 = u_x^2\sin^2\theta - 2u_x u_y\cos\theta\sin\theta + u_y^2\cos^2\theta.

Adding, the cross terms cancel and sin2+cos2=1\sin^2+\cos^2=1:

(ur)2+1r2(uθ)2=ux2+uy2=(ux)2+(uy)2.\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial r}\right)^2 + \frac{1}{r^2}\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial \theta}\right)^2 = u_x^2 + u_y^2 = \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}\right)^2. \qquad \blacksquare

(b) Extrema of f(x,y)=x3+y33axyf(x,y)=x^3+y^3-3axy, a>0a>0

Stationary points:

fx=3x23ay=0y=x2/a,fy=3y23ax=0x=y2/a.f_x = 3x^2 - 3ay = 0 \Rightarrow y = x^2/a, \qquad f_y = 3y^2 - 3ax = 0 \Rightarrow x = y^2/a.

Substituting: x=x4/a3x(x3a3)=0x=0x = x^4/a^3 \Rightarrow x(x^3 - a^3)=0 \Rightarrow x=0 or x=ax=a. This gives the critical points (0,0)(0,0) and (a,a)(a,a).

Second derivatives: fxx=6xf_{xx}=6x, fyy=6yf_{yy}=6y, fxy=3af_{xy}=-3a. Discriminant D=fxxfyyfxy2=36xy9a2D = f_{xx}f_{yy} - f_{xy}^2 = 36xy - 9a^2.

  • At (0,0)(0,0): D=09a2=9a2<0D = 0 - 9a^2 = -9a^2 < 0 \Rightarrow saddle point.
  • At (a,a)(a,a): D=36a29a2=27a2>0D = 36a^2 - 9a^2 = 27a^2 > 0 and fxx=6a>0f_{xx}=6a>0 \Rightarrow relative minimum, with f(a,a)=a3+a33aaa=a3f(a,a)=a^3+a^3-3a\cdot a\cdot a = -a^3.

Conclusion: ff has a local minimum value a3-a^3 at (a,a)(a,a) and a saddle point at (0,0)(0,0); there is no local maximum.

(a) Evaluate the double integral 01x2xxydydx\displaystyle \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{\sqrt{x}} xy \, dy \, dx and sketch the region of integration. (6)

(b) By changing the order of integration, evaluate 0ayaxx2+y2dxdy\displaystyle \int_0^a \int_y^a \frac{x}{x^2 + y^2} \, dx \, dy. (4)

(c) Using triple integration, find the volume of the solid bounded by the cylinder x2+y2=4x^2 + y^2 = 4 and the planes z=0z = 0 and z=3xz = 3 - x. (4)

(a) 01x2xxydydx\displaystyle \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{\sqrt{x}} xy\,dy\,dx

Region: between y=x2y=x^2 (lower) and y=xy=\sqrt{x} (upper) for 0x10\le x\le 1; the two curves meet at (0,0)(0,0) and (1,1)(1,1), enclosing a leaf-shaped region in the first quadrant.

Inner integral:

x2xxydy=x[y22]x2x=x2(xx4)=x2x52.\int_{x^2}^{\sqrt{x}} xy\,dy = x\left[\frac{y^2}{2}\right]_{x^2}^{\sqrt{x}} = \frac{x}{2}\left(x - x^4\right) = \frac{x^2 - x^5}{2}.

Then

01x2x52dx=12[x33x66]01=12(1316)=1216=112.\int_0^1 \frac{x^2 - x^5}{2}\,dx = \frac12\left[\frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^6}{6}\right]_0^1 = \frac12\left(\frac13 - \frac16\right) = \frac12\cdot\frac16 = \boxed{\frac{1}{12}}.

(b) Change of order: 0ayaxx2+y2dxdy\displaystyle \int_0^a \int_y^a \frac{x}{x^2+y^2}\,dx\,dy

Region: 0ya0\le y\le a, yxay\le x\le a, i.e. the triangle 0xa0\le x\le a, 0yx0\le y\le x. Reversing:

0a0xxx2+y2dydx=0ax[1xtan1yx]0xdx=0atan1(1)dx=π40adx=πa4.\int_0^a \int_0^x \frac{x}{x^2+y^2}\,dy\,dx = \int_0^a x\left[\frac1x\tan^{-1}\frac{y}{x}\right]_0^x dx = \int_0^a \tan^{-1}(1)\,dx = \frac{\pi}{4}\int_0^a dx = \boxed{\frac{\pi a}{4}}.

(c) Volume by triple integration

The solid lies over the disk x2+y24x^2+y^2\le 4 between z=0z=0 and z=3xz=3-x. Since on the disk x2<3|x|\le 2 < 3, 3x>03-x>0 throughout, so

V=x2+y2403xdzdA=x2+y24(3x)dA.V = \iint_{x^2+y^2\le 4}\int_0^{3-x} dz\,dA = \iint_{x^2+y^2\le 4}(3-x)\,dA.

The term xdA=0\iint x\,dA = 0 by symmetry, and 3dA=3×(area of disk)=3π(2)2=12π\iint 3\,dA = 3\times(\text{area of disk}) = 3\cdot\pi(2)^2 = 12\pi.

V=12π cubic units.\boxed{V = 12\pi \text{ cubic units}}.

(a) Solve the differential equation d2ydx24dydx+4y=e2x+sin2x\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} - 4\dfrac{dy}{dx} + 4y = e^{2x} + \sin 2x. (7)

(b) Solve the equation (D2+1)y=secx(D^2 + 1)y = \sec x using the method of variation of parameters, where DddxD \equiv \dfrac{d}{dx}. (5)

(a) y4y+4y=e2x+sin2xy'' - 4y' + 4y = e^{2x} + \sin 2x

Complementary function. Auxiliary equation m24m+4=(m2)2=0m=2,2m^2 - 4m + 4 = (m-2)^2 = 0 \Rightarrow m=2,2.

yc=(C1+C2x)e2x.y_c = (C_1 + C_2 x)e^{2x}.

Particular integral. yp=yp1+yp2y_p = y_{p1} + y_{p2} with P.I.=1(D2)2(e2x+sin2x)P.I. = \dfrac{1}{(D-2)^2}(e^{2x}+\sin 2x).

For e2xe^{2x}: root 22 is a double root, so multiply by x2x^2:

yp1=x22!e2x=x2e2x2.y_{p1} = \frac{x^2}{2!}e^{2x} = \frac{x^2 e^{2x}}{2}.

For sin2x\sin 2x: replace D24D^2\to -4 in D24D+4D^2-4D+4: denominator =44D+4=4D= -4 - 4D + 4 = -4D.

yp2=14Dsin2x=14sin2xdx=14(cos2x2)=cos2x8.y_{p2} = \frac{1}{-4D}\sin 2x = -\frac{1}{4}\int \sin 2x\,dx = -\frac14\left(-\frac{\cos 2x}{2}\right) = \frac{\cos 2x}{8}.

General solution:

y=(C1+C2x)e2x+x2e2x2+cos2x8.\boxed{y = (C_1 + C_2 x)e^{2x} + \frac{x^2 e^{2x}}{2} + \frac{\cos 2x}{8}.}

(b) (D2+1)y=secx(D^2+1)y = \sec x by variation of parameters

C.F.: m2+1=0yc=C1cosx+C2sinxm^2+1=0\Rightarrow y_c = C_1\cos x + C_2\sin x, so y1=cosx, y2=sinxy_1=\cos x,\ y_2=\sin x, Wronskian W=cosxcosxsinx(sinx)=1W = \cos x\cos x - \sin x(-\sin x) = 1.

u=y2RWdx=sinxsecxdx=tanxdx=lncosx,u = -\int \frac{y_2\,R}{W}dx = -\int \sin x\sec x\,dx = -\int \tan x\,dx = \ln|\cos x|, v=y1RWdx=cosxsecxdx=dx=x.v = \int \frac{y_1\,R}{W}dx = \int \cos x\sec x\,dx = \int dx = x.

Particular integral: yp=uy1+vy2=cosxlncosx+xsinx.y_p = u y_1 + v y_2 = \cos x\ln|\cos x| + x\sin x.

General solution:

y=C1cosx+C2sinx+cosxlncosx+xsinx.\boxed{y = C_1\cos x + C_2\sin x + \cos x\,\ln|\cos x| + x\sin x.}

(a) State the convolution theorem for Laplace transforms and use it to find L1{1(s2+a2)2}L^{-1}\left\{\dfrac{1}{(s^2 + a^2)^2}\right\}. (6)

(b) Using the Laplace transform method, solve the initial value problem y+4y=sinty'' + 4y = \sin t, given that y(0)=0y(0) = 0 and y(0)=0y'(0) = 0. (6)

(a) Convolution theorem and L1{1/(s2+a2)2}L^{-1}\{1/(s^2+a^2)^2\}

Convolution theorem. If L1{F(s)}=f(t)L^{-1}\{F(s)\}=f(t) and L1{G(s)}=g(t)L^{-1}\{G(s)\}=g(t), then

L1{F(s)G(s)}=(fg)(t)=0tf(τ)g(tτ)dτ.L^{-1}\{F(s)G(s)\} = (f*g)(t) = \int_0^t f(\tau)\,g(t-\tau)\,d\tau.

Write 1(s2+a2)2=1s2+a21s2+a2\dfrac{1}{(s^2+a^2)^2} = \dfrac{1}{s^2+a^2}\cdot\dfrac{1}{s^2+a^2}, with L1{1/(s2+a2)}=sinataL^{-1}\{1/(s^2+a^2)\} = \dfrac{\sin at}{a}. Then

L1{1(s2+a2)2}=1a20tsinaτsina(tτ)dτ.L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s^2+a^2)^2}\right\} = \frac{1}{a^2}\int_0^t \sin a\tau\,\sin a(t-\tau)\,d\tau.

Using sinAsinB=12[cos(AB)cos(A+B)]\sin A\sin B = \tfrac12[\cos(A-B)-\cos(A+B)] with A=aτ, B=a(tτ)A=a\tau,\ B=a(t-\tau):

=12a20t[cosa(2τt)cosat]dτ=12a2[sina(2τt)2aτcosat]0t.=\frac{1}{2a^2}\int_0^t\big[\cos a(2\tau - t) - \cos at\big]d\tau = \frac{1}{2a^2}\left[\frac{\sin a(2\tau-t)}{2a} - \tau\cos at\right]_0^t.

At τ=t\tau=t: sinat2atcosat\frac{\sin at}{2a} - t\cos at; at τ=0\tau=0: sin(at)2a=sinat2a\frac{\sin(-at)}{2a} = -\frac{\sin at}{2a}. Difference =sinatatcosat= \frac{\sin at}{a} - t\cos at. Hence

L1{1(s2+a2)2}=12a3(sinatatcosat).\boxed{L^{-1}\left\{\frac{1}{(s^2+a^2)^2}\right\} = \frac{1}{2a^3}\big(\sin at - at\cos at\big).}

(b) y+4y=sinty''+4y=\sin t, y(0)=0, y(0)=0y(0)=0,\ y'(0)=0

Taking Laplace transforms with L{y}=YL\{y\}=Y:

(s2Y00)+4Y=1s2+1Y=1(s2+1)(s2+4).(s^2 Y - 0 - 0) + 4Y = \frac{1}{s^2+1} \Rightarrow Y = \frac{1}{(s^2+1)(s^2+4)}.

Partial fractions: 1(s2+1)(s2+4)=13(1s2+11s2+4).\dfrac{1}{(s^2+1)(s^2+4)} = \dfrac{1}{3}\left(\dfrac{1}{s^2+1} - \dfrac{1}{s^2+4}\right).

Inverting,

y(t)=13(sintsin2t2)=13sint16sin2t.y(t) = \frac13\left(\sin t - \frac{\sin 2t}{2}\right) = \boxed{\frac{1}{3}\sin t - \frac{1}{6}\sin 2t.}

If u=x+y+zu = x + y + z, uv=y+zuv = y + z and uvw=zuvw = z, find the Jacobian (x,y,z)(u,v,w)\dfrac{\partial(x, y, z)}{\partial(u, v, w)}.

Given x+y+z=ux+y+z=u, y+z=uvy+z=uv, z=uvwz=uvw. Solve explicitly for x,y,zx,y,z:

z=uvw,y=uvz=uvuvw=uv(1w),x=uuv=u(1v).z = uvw, \qquad y = uv - z = uv - uvw = uv(1-w), \qquad x = u - uv = u(1-v).

The Jacobian is

(x,y,z)(u,v,w)=xuxvxwyuyvywzuzvzw=1vu0v(1w)u(1w)uvvwuwuv.\frac{\partial(x,y,z)}{\partial(u,v,w)} = \begin{vmatrix} \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial v} & \dfrac{\partial x}{\partial w} \\[4pt] \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial v} & \dfrac{\partial y}{\partial w} \\[4pt] \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial u} & \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial v} & \dfrac{\partial z}{\partial w} \end{vmatrix} = \begin{vmatrix} 1-v & -u & 0 \\ v(1-w) & u(1-w) & -uv \\ vw & uw & uv \end{vmatrix}.

Expanding along the first row:

=(1v)[u(1w)uv(uv)(uw)](u)[v(1w)uv(uv)(vw)]= (1-v)\big[u(1-w)\cdot uv - (-uv)(uw)\big] - (-u)\big[v(1-w)\cdot uv - (-uv)(vw)\big] =(1v)[u2v(1w)+u2vw]+u[uv2(1w)+uv2w]= (1-v)\big[u^2v(1-w) + u^2vw\big] + u\big[uv^2(1-w) + uv^2 w\big] =(1v)(u2v)+u(uv2)=u2v(1v)+u2v2=u2v.= (1-v)(u^2 v) + u(uv^2) = u^2v(1-v) + u^2v^2 = u^2 v. (x,y,z)(u,v,w)=u2v.\boxed{\dfrac{\partial(x,y,z)}{\partial(u,v,w)} = u^2 v.}

(a) Find the directional derivative of ϕ=x2yz+4xz2\phi = x^2 yz + 4xz^2 at the point (1,2,1)(1, -2, -1) in the direction of the vector 2i^j^2k^2\hat{i} - \hat{j} - 2\hat{k}. (4)

(b) Show that the vector field F=(y2cosx+z3)i^+(2ysinx4)j^+(3xz2+2)k^\vec{F} = (y^2 \cos x + z^3)\hat{i} + (2y \sin x - 4)\hat{j} + (3xz^2 + 2)\hat{k} is irrotational. (3)

(a) Directional derivative

ϕ=(2xyz+4z2)i^+x2zj^+(x2y+8xz)k^\nabla\phi = (2xyz + 4z^2)\hat i + x^2 z\,\hat j + (x^2 y + 8xz)\hat k.

At (1,2,1)(1,-2,-1):

2xyz+4z2=2(1)(2)(1)+4(1)=4+4=8,2xyz+4z^2 = 2(1)(-2)(-1)+4(1) = 4+4 = 8, x2z=(1)(1)=1,x2y+8xz=(1)(2)+8(1)(1)=28=10.x^2 z = (1)(-1) = -1,\qquad x^2 y + 8xz = (1)(-2)+8(1)(-1) = -2-8 = -10.

So ϕ=8i^j^10k^\nabla\phi = 8\hat i - \hat j - 10\hat k.

Unit vector along 2i^j^2k^2\hat i - \hat j - 2\hat k: magnitude 4+1+4=3\sqrt{4+1+4}=3, so a^=13(2i^j^2k^)\hat a = \tfrac13(2\hat i - \hat j - 2\hat k).

Da^ϕ=ϕa^=13(82+(1)(1)+(10)(2))=16+1+203=373.D_{\hat a}\phi = \nabla\phi\cdot\hat a = \frac{1}{3}\big(8\cdot2 + (-1)(-1) + (-10)(-2)\big) = \frac{16+1+20}{3} = \boxed{\frac{37}{3}}.

(b) Irrotational field

F=(y2cosx+z3)i^+(2ysinx4)j^+(3xz2+2)k^\vec F = (y^2\cos x + z^3)\hat i + (2y\sin x - 4)\hat j + (3xz^2 + 2)\hat k. Compute ×F\nabla\times\vec F:

(×F)x=y(3xz2+2)z(2ysinx4)=00=0,(\nabla\times\vec F)_x = \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(3xz^2+2) - \frac{\partial}{\partial z}(2y\sin x-4) = 0 - 0 = 0, (×F)y=z(y2cosx+z3)x(3xz2+2)=3z23z2=0,(\nabla\times\vec F)_y = \frac{\partial}{\partial z}(y^2\cos x+z^3) - \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(3xz^2+2) = 3z^2 - 3z^2 = 0, (×F)z=x(2ysinx4)y(y2cosx+z3)=2ycosx2ycosx=0.(\nabla\times\vec F)_z = \frac{\partial}{\partial x}(2y\sin x-4) - \frac{\partial}{\partial y}(y^2\cos x+z^3) = 2y\cos x - 2y\cos x = 0.

Since ×F=0\nabla\times\vec F = \vec 0, the field is irrotational. \blacksquare

Verify Green's theorem in the plane for C[(3x28y2)dx+(4y6xy)dy]\displaystyle \oint_C \left[(3x^2 - 8y^2)\,dx + (4y - 6xy)\,dy\right], where CC is the boundary of the region bounded by the lines x=0x = 0, y=0y = 0 and x+y=1x + y = 1.

Green's theorem: C(Mdx+Ndy)=R(NxMy)dA\displaystyle\oint_C (M\,dx + N\,dy) = \iint_R\left(\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y}\right)dA, with M=3x28y2M = 3x^2 - 8y^2, N=4y6xyN = 4y - 6xy.

Double integral (RHS)

Nx=6y,My=16yNxMy=6y+16y=10y.\frac{\partial N}{\partial x} = -6y, \qquad \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = -16y \Rightarrow \frac{\partial N}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial M}{\partial y} = -6y + 16y = 10y.

Region RR: triangle bounded by x=0, y=0, x+y=1x=0,\ y=0,\ x+y=1, so 0x10\le x\le 1, 0y1x0\le y\le 1-x.

Line integral (LHS)

Traverse CC counter-clockwise: C1C_1 (y=0y=0, x:01x:0\to1), C2C_2 (x+y=1x+y=1, x:10x:1\to0), C3C_3 (x=0x=0, y:10y:1\to0).

C1C_1 (y=0, dy=0y=0,\ dy=0): 013x2dx=1.\int_0^1 3x^2\,dx = 1.

C3C_3 (x=0, dx=0, y:10x=0,\ dx=0,\ y:1\to0): N=4yN = 4y, 104ydy=2.\int_1^0 4y\,dy = -2.

Sum: 1+832=831=53.1 + \tfrac{8}{3} - 2 = \tfrac{8}{3} - 1 = \tfrac{5}{3}.

Conclusion

Line integral =53== \dfrac{5}{3} = double integral. Green's theorem is verified. \blacksquare

Use Stoke's theorem to evaluate CFdr\displaystyle \oint_C \vec{F} \cdot d\vec{r} where F=(2xy)i^yz2j^y2zk^\vec{F} = (2x - y)\hat{i} - yz^2\,\hat{j} - y^2 z\,\hat{k} and CC is the boundary of the upper half of the sphere x2+y2+z2=1x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 1 traversed in the positive direction.

By Stokes' theorem, CFdr=S(×F)n^dS\displaystyle\oint_C \vec F\cdot d\vec r = \iint_S (\nabla\times\vec F)\cdot\hat n\,dS. The boundary CC of the upper hemisphere is the unit circle x2+y2=1x^2+y^2=1, z=0z=0, so it suffices to use the flat disk S:x2+y21, z=0S: x^2+y^2\le 1,\ z=0 with n^=k^\hat n = \hat k.

Curl: F=(2xy)i^yz2j^y2zk^\vec F = (2x-y)\hat i - yz^2\hat j - y^2 z\,\hat k.

×F=((y2z)y(yz2)z)i^+((2xy)z(y2z)x)j^+((yz2)x(2xy)y)k^.\nabla\times\vec F = \left(\frac{\partial(-y^2 z)}{\partial y} - \frac{\partial(-yz^2)}{\partial z}\right)\hat i + \left(\frac{\partial(2x-y)}{\partial z} - \frac{\partial(-y^2 z)}{\partial x}\right)\hat j + \left(\frac{\partial(-yz^2)}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial(2x-y)}{\partial y}\right)\hat k. =(2yz+2yz)i^+(00)j^+(0(1))k^=k^.= (-2yz + 2yz)\hat i + (0 - 0)\hat j + (0 - (-1))\hat k = \hat k.

(a) Solve the first-order differential equation dydx+ycotx=cosx\dfrac{dy}{dx} + y\cot x = \cos x. (3)

(b) Solve the exact differential equation (2xy+ytany)dx+(x2xtan2y+sec2y)dy=0(2xy + y - \tan y)\,dx + (x^2 - x\tan^2 y + \sec^2 y)\,dy = 0. (4)

(a) dydx+ycotx=cosx\dfrac{dy}{dx} + y\cot x = \cos x

Linear equation, P=cotxP=\cot x, integrating factor μ=ecotxdx=elnsinx=sinx\mu = e^{\int\cot x\,dx} = e^{\ln\sin x} = \sin x.

ddx(ysinx)=cosxsinx=12sin2x.\frac{d}{dx}(y\sin x) = \cos x\sin x = \tfrac12\sin 2x.

Integrating: ysinx=14cos2x+Cy\sin x = -\tfrac14\cos 2x + C, so

y=C14cos2xsinx(equivalently ysinx=sin2x2+C).\boxed{y = \frac{C - \tfrac14\cos 2x}{\sin x}}\quad\left(\text{equivalently } y\sin x = \frac{\sin^2 x}{2} + C'\right).

(b) Exact equation

M=2xy+ytanyM = 2xy + y - \tan y, N=x2xtan2y+sec2yN = x^2 - x\tan^2 y + \sec^2 y. Check exactness: My=2x+1sec2yM_y = 2x + 1 - \sec^2 y and Nx=2xtan2yN_x = 2x - \tan^2 y. Since sec2y=1+tan2y\sec^2 y = 1 + \tan^2 y, My=2x+1(1+tan2y)=2xtan2y=NxM_y = 2x + 1 - (1+\tan^2 y) = 2x - \tan^2 y = N_x. Exact.

Integrate MM w.r.t. xx (treating yy constant):

F=(2xy+ytany)dx=x2y+xyxtany+g(y).F = \int(2xy + y - \tan y)\,dx = x^2 y + xy - x\tan y + g(y).

Differentiate w.r.t. yy: Fy=x2+xxsec2y+g(y)F_y = x^2 + x - x\sec^2 y + g'(y). Set equal to N=x2xtan2y+sec2y=x2x(sec2y1)+sec2y=x2+xxsec2y+sec2yN = x^2 - x\tan^2 y + \sec^2 y = x^2 - x(\sec^2 y - 1) + \sec^2 y = x^2 + x - x\sec^2 y + \sec^2 y. Hence g(y)=sec2yg(y)=tanyg'(y) = \sec^2 y \Rightarrow g(y) = \tan y.

Solution:

x2y+xyxtany+tany=C.\boxed{x^2 y + xy - x\tan y + \tan y = C.}

Obtain the Fourier series expansion of the function f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 in the interval π<x<π-\pi < x < \pi, and hence deduce that π26=n=11n2\dfrac{\pi^2}{6} = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{n^2}.

Since f(x)=x2f(x)=x^2 is even on (π,π)(-\pi,\pi), all bn=0b_n = 0. The Fourier series is f(x)=a02+n=1ancosnxf(x) = \dfrac{a_0}{2} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n\cos nx.

Coefficient a0a_0:

a0=1πππx2dx=2π0πx2dx=2ππ33=2π23.a_0 = \frac{1}{\pi}\int_{-\pi}^{\pi} x^2\,dx = \frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^\pi x^2 dx = \frac{2}{\pi}\cdot\frac{\pi^3}{3} = \frac{2\pi^2}{3}.

Coefficient ana_n:

an=2π0πx2cosnxdx.a_n = \frac{2}{\pi}\int_0^\pi x^2\cos nx\,dx.

Integrating by parts twice, 0πx2cosnxdx=2πcosnπn2=2π(1)nn2\int_0^\pi x^2\cos nx\,dx = \dfrac{2\pi\cos n\pi}{n^2} = \dfrac{2\pi(-1)^n}{n^2} (the other boundary terms vanish). Thus

an=2π2π(1)nn2=4(1)nn2.a_n = \frac{2}{\pi}\cdot\frac{2\pi(-1)^n}{n^2} = \frac{4(-1)^n}{n^2}.

Fourier series:

x2=π23+4n=1(1)nn2cosnx.\boxed{x^2 = \frac{\pi^2}{3} + 4\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{(-1)^n}{n^2}\cos nx.}

Deduction. Put x=πx=\pi (a point where ff is continuous, f(π)=π2f(\pi)=\pi^2); cosnπ=(1)n\cos n\pi = (-1)^n so (1)ncosnπ=1(-1)^n\cos n\pi = 1:

π2=π23+4n=11n24n=11n2=2π23n=11n2=π26.\pi^2 = \frac{\pi^2}{3} + 4\sum_{n=1}^\infty \frac{1}{n^2} \Rightarrow 4\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{2\pi^2}{3} \Rightarrow \sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{1}{n^2} = \frac{\pi^2}{6}. \quad\blacksquare

Find the power series solution of the differential equation d2ydx2+xdydx+y=0\dfrac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + x\dfrac{dy}{dx} + y = 0 about the ordinary point x=0x = 0, obtaining the recurrence relation and the first few terms of the two independent solutions.

x=0x=0 is an ordinary point. Assume y=n=0anxny = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n, so y=n=1nanxn1y' = \sum_{n=1}^\infty n a_n x^{n-1}, y=n=2n(n1)anxn2y'' = \sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n x^{n-2}.

Substitute into y+xy+y=0y'' + xy' + y = 0:

n=2n(n1)anxn2+n=1nanxn+n=0anxn=0.\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)a_n x^{n-2} + \sum_{n=1}^\infty n a_n x^n + \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_n x^n = 0.

Shift the first sum (nn+2n\to n+2); note nanxn+anxn=n=0(n+1)anxn\sum n a_n x^n + \sum a_n x^n = \sum_{n=0}^\infty (n+1)a_n x^n:

n=0[(n+2)(n+1)an+2+(n+1)an]xn=0.\sum_{n=0}^\infty\Big[(n+2)(n+1)a_{n+2} + (n+1)a_n\Big]x^n = 0.

Recurrence relation:

an+2=(n+1)an(n+2)(n+1)=ann+2,n0.a_{n+2} = -\frac{(n+1)a_n}{(n+2)(n+1)} = -\frac{a_n}{n+2}, \qquad n\ge 0.

Even terms (from a0a_0): a2=a02a_2 = -\dfrac{a_0}{2}, a4=a24=a024a_4 = -\dfrac{a_2}{4} = \dfrac{a_0}{2\cdot4}, a6=a46=a0246a_6 = -\dfrac{a_4}{6} = -\dfrac{a_0}{2\cdot4\cdot6}, giving

y1=a0(1x22+x424x6246+)=a0k=0(1)kx2k2kk!=a0ex2/2.y_1 = a_0\left(1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^4}{2\cdot4} - \frac{x^6}{2\cdot4\cdot6} + \cdots\right) = a_0\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{(-1)^k x^{2k}}{2^k k!} = a_0\,e^{-x^2/2}.

Odd terms (from a1a_1): a3=a13a_3 = -\dfrac{a_1}{3}, a5=a35=a135a_5 = -\dfrac{a_3}{5} = \dfrac{a_1}{3\cdot5}, a7=a57=a1357a_7 = -\dfrac{a_5}{7} = -\dfrac{a_1}{3\cdot5\cdot7}, giving

y2=a1(xx33+x535x7357+).y_2 = a_1\left(x - \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^5}{3\cdot5} - \frac{x^7}{3\cdot5\cdot7} + \cdots\right).

General solution:

y=a0(1x22+x48)+a1(xx33+x515),\boxed{y = a_0\left(1 - \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^4}{8} - \cdots\right) + a_1\left(x - \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^5}{15} - \cdots\right),}

where a0,a1a_0, a_1 are arbitrary constants.

(a) Find the Laplace transform of te2tsin3tt\,e^{-2t}\sin 3t. (3)

(b) Express the function f(t)={t,0<t<24t,2<t<40,t>4f(t) = \begin{cases} t, & 0 < t < 2 \\ 4 - t, & 2 < t < 4 \\ 0, & t > 4 \end{cases} in terms of unit step functions and hence find its Laplace transform. (3)

(a) L{te2tsin3t}L\{t\,e^{-2t}\sin 3t\}

Start from L{sin3t}=3s2+9L\{\sin 3t\} = \dfrac{3}{s^2+9}. By the first shifting theorem (ss+2s\to s+2):

L{e2tsin3t}=3(s+2)2+9.L\{e^{-2t}\sin 3t\} = \frac{3}{(s+2)^2 + 9}.

Multiplication by tt gives L{tf(t)}=ddsF(s)L\{t f(t)\} = -\dfrac{d}{ds}F(s):

L{te2tsin3t}=dds[3(s+2)2+9]=32(s+2)[(s+2)2+9]2=6(s+2)[(s+2)2+9]2.L\{t e^{-2t}\sin 3t\} = -\frac{d}{ds}\left[\frac{3}{(s+2)^2+9}\right] = \frac{3\cdot 2(s+2)}{\big[(s+2)^2+9\big]^2} = \boxed{\frac{6(s+2)}{\big[(s+2)^2+9\big]^2}}.

(b) Unit-step representation and transform

Write f(t)f(t) using u(ta)u(t-a). Building up from pieces:

f(t)=t[u(t)u(t2)]+(4t)[u(t2)u(t4)].f(t) = t\,[u(t) - u(t-2)] + (4-t)[u(t-2) - u(t-4)].

Collecting jumps in slope/value:

f(t)=t2(t2)u(t2)+(t4)u(t4).f(t) = t - 2(t-2)\,u(t-2) + (t-4)\,u(t-4).

(Check: for 0<t<20<t<2, f=tf=t; for 2<t<42<t<4, f=t2(t2)=4tf = t - 2(t-2) = 4-t; for t>4t>4, f=t2(t2)+(t4)=0f = t - 2(t-2) + (t-4) = 0.)

Using L{(ta)u(ta)}=eass2L\{(t-a)u(t-a)\} = \dfrac{e^{-as}}{s^2} and L{t}=1s2L\{t\} = \dfrac{1}{s^2}:

L{f(t)}=1s22e2ss2+e4ss2=12e2s+e4ss2=(1e2s)2s2.L\{f(t)\} = \frac{1}{s^2} - \frac{2e^{-2s}}{s^2} + \frac{e^{-4s}}{s^2} = \boxed{\frac{1 - 2e^{-2s} + e^{-4s}}{s^2} = \frac{(1 - e^{-2s})^2}{s^2}.}
