a) In an examination, a candidate has to pass in each of the four subjects. In how many ways can the candidate fail? [2]

b) If y=x+x22+x33+x44+y = x + \dfrac{x^2}{2} + \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \dfrac{x^4}{4} + \cdots, show that x=yy22!+y33!y44!+x = y - \dfrac{y^2}{2!} + \dfrac{y^3}{3!} - \dfrac{y^4}{4!} + \cdots. [3]

a) A candidate fails if they fail in at least one of the four subjects. The number of ways of failing is the number of ways of choosing 1, 2, 3 or 4 subjects to fail in:

C(4,1)+C(4,2)+C(4,3)+C(4,4)=4+6+4+1=15.C(4,1) + C(4,2) + C(4,3) + C(4,4) = 4 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 15.

So the candidate can fail in 15 ways. (Equivalently, total subsets 24=162^4 = 16 minus the one way of passing all = 15.)

b) Given

y=x+x22+x33+x44+y = x + \frac{x^2}{2} + \frac{x^3}{3} + \frac{x^4}{4} + \cdots

Recall the logarithmic series ln(1x)=x+x22+x33+-\ln(1-x) = x + \dfrac{x^2}{2} + \dfrac{x^3}{3} + \cdots. Hence

y=ln(1x)y=ln(1x).y = -\ln(1-x) \quad\Rightarrow\quad -y = \ln(1-x).

Taking exponentials,

1x=ey=1y+y22!y33!+y44!1 - x = e^{-y} = 1 - y + \frac{y^2}{2!} - \frac{y^3}{3!} + \frac{y^4}{4!} - \cdots

Therefore

x=yy22!+y33!y44!+x = y - \frac{y^2}{2!} + \frac{y^3}{3!} - \frac{y^4}{4!} + \cdots

as required.

a) A particle moves along the curve 6y=x3+26y = x^3 + 2. Find the point on the curve at which the yy-coordinate is changing 8 times as fast as the xx-coordinate. [3]

b) Integrate dx1+e2x\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{1 + e^{2x}} by reducing it to a standard integral form. [2]

c) Write an example of a homogeneous differential equation. Solve it. [3]

a) Differentiating 6y=x3+26y = x^3 + 2 with respect to time tt:

6dydt=3x2dxdt.6\frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}.

We require dydt=8dxdt\dfrac{dy}{dt} = 8\dfrac{dx}{dt}. Substituting,

6(8)dxdt=3x2dxdt    48=3x2    x2=16    x=±4.6(8)\frac{dx}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt} \;\Rightarrow\; 48 = 3x^2 \;\Rightarrow\; x^2 = 16 \;\Rightarrow\; x = \pm 4.

For x=4x = 4: 6y=64+2=66y=116y = 64 + 2 = 66 \Rightarrow y = 11, point (4,11)(4, 11). For x=4x = -4: 6y=64+2=62y=3136y = -64 + 2 = -62 \Rightarrow y = -\frac{31}{3}, point (4,313)\left(-4, -\frac{31}{3}\right).

So the required points are (4,11)(4, 11) and (4,313)\left(-4, -\dfrac{31}{3}\right).

b) dx1+e2x\displaystyle\int \frac{dx}{1 + e^{2x}}. Put ex=ye^{x} = y, so exdx=dye^{x}\,dx = dy, i.e. dx=dyydx = \dfrac{dy}{y}. Then

dx1+e2x=11+y2dyy=dyy(1+y2).\int \frac{dx}{1 + e^{2x}} = \int \frac{1}{1 + y^2}\cdot\frac{dy}{y} = \int \frac{dy}{y(1 + y^2)}.

Using partial fractions 1y(1+y2)=1yy1+y2\dfrac{1}{y(1+y^2)} = \dfrac{1}{y} - \dfrac{y}{1+y^2}:

dyy(1+y2)=lny12ln(1+y2)+c=lnex12ln(1+e2x)+c=x12ln(1+e2x)+c.\int \frac{dy}{y(1+y^2)} = \ln|y| - \frac{1}{2}\ln(1 + y^2) + c = \ln e^{x} - \frac{1}{2}\ln(1 + e^{2x}) + c = x - \frac{1}{2}\ln(1 + e^{2x}) + c.

c) Example of a homogeneous differential equation:

dydx=x+yx.\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x + y}{x}.

It is homogeneous (degree 0). Put y=vxy = vx, so dydx=v+xdvdx\dfrac{dy}{dx} = v + x\dfrac{dv}{dx}. Then

v+xdvdx=x+vxx=1+v    xdvdx=1    dv=dxx.v + x\frac{dv}{dx} = \frac{x + vx}{x} = 1 + v \;\Rightarrow\; x\frac{dv}{dx} = 1 \;\Rightarrow\; dv = \frac{dx}{x}.

Integrating, v=lnx+cv = \ln x + c, and since v=yxv = \dfrac{y}{x},

y=x(lnx+c).y = x(\ln x + c).
