Question: (a) Find an implicit solution of the IVP
(b) Use part (a) to find an explicit solutionof the IVP.
(c) Consider your answer to part (b) as a function only. Use a graphing utility or a CAS to graph this function, and then use the graph to estimate its domain.
(d) With the aid of a root-finding application of a CAS, determine the approximate largest interval I of definition of the solution in part (b). Use a graphing utility or a CAS to graph the solution curve for the IVP on this interval.
Heart Pacemaker A heart pacemaker consists of a switch, a battery of constant voltage ,a capacitor with constant capacitance C,and the heart as a resistor with constant resistance R.When the switch is closed, the capacitor charges; when the switch is open, the capacitor discharges, sending an electrical stimulus to the heart. During the time the heart is being stimulated, the voltage Eacross the heart satisfies the linear differential equation.

Question: Suspension Bridge In (16) of Sectionwe saw that a mathematical model for the shape of a flexible cable strung between two vertical supports is
wheredenotes the portion of the total vertical load between the pointsandshown in Figure 1.3.7. The DE (10) is separable under the following conditions that describe a suspension bridge. Let us assume that the- andaxes are as shown in Figure-that is, the-axis runs along the horizontal roadbed, and the-axis passes through, which is the lowest point on one cable over the span of the bridge, coinciding with the interval . In the case of a suspension bridge, the usual assumption is that the vertical load in (10) is only a uniform roadbed distributed along the horizontal axis. In other words, it is assumed that the weight of all cables is negligible in comparison to the weight of the roadbed and that the weight per unit length of the roadbed (say, pounds per horizontal foot) is a constant. Use this information to set up and solve an appropriate initial-value problem from which the shape (a curve with equation)of each of the two cables in a suspension bridge is determined. Express your solution of the IVP in terms of the sagand span. See Figure 2.2.5.
