Q1. Find the differential equation of each of the following one-parameter families of plane
curves:
(i) xy 2 1 = Cy
(ii) Cy = C 2 x + 5
(iii) y = Cey/x
(iv) Circles of unit radius with centers on the axis of x
where C is arbitrary constant.
Q2. Find the differential equation of each of the following families of plane curves:
(i) y = C1 sin x + C2 cos x + C2
(ii) y = e2x + C1 x2 + C2 x + C3
(iii) y = C1 x + C2 sin x
(iv) ln y = C1 x2 + C2
where C1 , C2 and C3 are arbitrary constants.
Q3. (a) Verify that x3 + y 3 = 3Cxy is general solution of the first order differential
equation: x(2y 3 x3 )y = y(y 3 2x3 ).
(b) Verify that y = Cex +x2 2x + 4 is general solution of y + y = p
x2 + 2.
(c) Verify that y = Cx+ a2 C 2 + b2 is a general solution of y = xy + a2 (y )2 + b2
where C is arbitrary constant and a, b are two fixed constants. Further show that

Q4. Verify that y = 1/(x+C) is general solution of y = y 2 . Find particular solutions
such that (i) y(0) = 1, and (ii) y(0) = 1. In both the cases, find the largest interval
I on which y is defined.
Q5. Consider the differential equations y = y; x > 0, where is a nonzero constant.
Show that (i) if (x) is any solution and (x) = (x)ex , then (x) is a constant;
(ii) if < 0, then every solution tends to zero as x .
Q6. For each of the following differential equations, draw several isoclines with appropriate lineal elements and hence sketch some solution curves:

Q7. Reduce the following ordinary differential equation:

yf (xy)dx + xg(xy)dy = 0
to a separable form with help of the transformation y = v/x. Hence solve
y(xy + 1)dx + x(1 + xy + x2 y 2)dy = 0.
