Question
In each of 15 and 16: G a. Draw a direction field for the given differential equation. How do solutions appear to behave as t 0? Does the behavior depend on the choice of the initial value a? Let a0 be the critical value of a, that is, the initial value such that the solutions for a < a0 and the solutions for a > a0 have different behaviors as t . Estimate the value of a0. b. Solve the initial value problem and find the critical value a0 exactly. c. Describe the behavior of the solution corresponding to the initial value a0. (sin t) y_ + (cos t) y = et , y(1) = a, 0 < t < G
Solution
The first step in solving 2.1 problem number 16 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In each of 15 and 16: G a. Draw a direction field for the given differential equation. How do solutions appear to behave as t 0? Does the behavior depend on the choice of the initial value a? Let a0 be the critical value of a, that is, the initial value such that the solutions for a < a0 and the solutions for a > a0 have different behaviors as t . Estimate the value of a0. b. Solve the initial value problem and find the critical value a0 exactly. c. Describe the behavior of the solution corresponding to the initial value a0. (sin t) y_ + (cos t) y = et , y(1) = a, 0 < t < G
From the textbook chapter Linear Differential Equations; Method of Integrating Factors you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
