Get started for freeDetermine the order of the given differential equation; also state whether the equation is linear or nonlinear. $$ \left(1+y^{2}\right) \frac{d^{2} y}{d t^{2}}+t \frac{d y}{d t}+y=e^{\prime} $$
draw a direction field for the given differential equation. Based on the direction field, determine the behavior of \(y\) as \(t \rightarrow \infty\). If this behavior depends on the initial value of \(y\) at \(t=0,\) describe this dependency. Note the right sides of these equations depend on \(t\) as well as \(y\), therefore their solutions can exhibit more complicated behavior than those in the text. $$ y^{\prime}=y^{3} / 6-y-t^{2} / 3 $$
In each of Problems 15 through 18 determine the values of \(r\) for which the given differential equation has solutions of the form \(y=e^{t} .\) $$ y^{\prime}+2 y=0 $$
A radioactive material, such as the isotope thorium- \(234,\) disintegrates at a rate proportional to the amount currently present. If \(Q(t)\) is the amount present at time \(t,\) then \(d Q / d t=-r Q\) where \(r>0\) is the decay rate. (a) If \(100 \mathrm{mg}\) of thorium- 234 decays to \(82.04 \mathrm{mg}\) in 1 week, determine the decay rate \(r\). (b) Find an expression for the amount of thorium- 234 present at any time \(t .\) (c) Find the time required for the thorium- 234 to decay to one-half its original amount.
In each of Problems 21 through 24 determine the order of the given partial differential equation; also state whether the equation is linear or nonlinear. Partial derivatives are denoted by subscripts. $$ u_{x x}+u_{y y}+u_{z z}=0 $$
