DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
SIXTH EDITION
EDWARDS & PENNEY
ABOUT THE COVER. This image illustrates
the trajectory of a moving point whose space
coordinates satisfy (as functions of time) the
Rossler system of differential equations that is discussed on page 553, and which
originated in studies of oscillations in chemical reactions. In its motion along its
trajectory the point may appear to spiral repeatedly around a set - the so-called
Rossler band - that somewhat resembles a (twisted) Mobius strip in space. To
portray the progress of the moving point, we can regard its trajectory as a necklace
string on which beads are placed to mark its successive positions at fixed increments
of time (so the point is moving fastest where the spacing between beads is greatest).
In order to aid the eye in following the moving point's progress, the color of the beads
changes continuously with the passage of time and motion along the trajectory. As the
point travels around and around the band, it may be observed to drift radially back and
forth across the band in an apparently unpredictable fashion. Two points that start
from nearby initial positions may loop around and around the band somewhat in
synchrony, while moving radially in quite different ways, so that their trajectories
diverge appreciably with the passage of time. This illustrates the phenomenon of
chaos, in which tiny differences in initial conditions can result in great differences in the
resulting situations some time later. Further discussion of chaos associated with
differential equations can be found in Section 7.6. Throughout this textbook
computer-generated graphics are used to portray numerical and symbolic solutions of
differential equations vividly and to provide additional insight.

In Prblems 27thrugh JI, a fnction y = g (x) is described
by some geometric prpert of its graph. Write a dif erential
equation of the for dyjdx = f(x, y) having the fnction g
as its solution (or as one of its solutions).
27. The slope of the graph of g at the point (x, y) is the sum
of x and y.
28. The line tangent to the graph of g at the point (x, y) inter
sects the x-axis at the point (xj, 0).
29. Every straight line normal to the graph of g passes through
the point (0, 1 ) . Can you guess what the graph of such a
function g might look like?
30. The graph of g is normal to every curve of the form
y =x2

car.
35. In a city having a fxed population of P persons, the time
rate of change of the number of those persons who have
heard a certain rumor is proportional to the number of
those who have not yet heard the rumor.
36. In a city with a fxed population of P persons, the time rate
of change of the number of those persons infected with
a certain contagious disease is proportional to the product

do not.
In Prblems 37 thrugh 42, deterine by inspection at least
one solution of the given dif erential equation. That is, use
your knowledge of derivatives to make an intelligent guess.
Then test your hypothesis.

43. (a) If k is a constant, show that a general (one-parameter)
solution of the diferential equation
dx
= kx
2
dt
is given by x(t ) =lj (C -kt ) , where C is an arbitrary
constant.
(b) Determine by inspection a solution of the initial value
problem x' = kx2, x (0) =O.
44. (a) Continuing Problem 43, assume that k is positive, and
then sketch graphs of solutions of x' = kx2 with sev
eral typical positive values of x(O).
(b) How would these solutions difer if the constant k
were negative?
45. Suppose a population P of rodents satisfes the diferen
tial equation dPjdt = kp2. Initially, there P (O) = 2
rodents, and their number is increasing at the rate of
dPjdt = 1 rodent per month when there are P = 1 0 ro
dents. How long will it take for this population to grow
to a hundred rodents? To a thousand? What's happening
here?
46. Suppose the velocity v of a motorboat coasting in water
satisfes the diferential equation dvjdt = kv2. The initial
speed of the motorboat is v(O) = 10 meters per second
(ms), and v is decreasing at the rate of 1 ms
2
when v =5
ms. How long does it take for the velocity of the boat u
decrease to 1 ms? To ms? When does the boat come
to a stop?
47. In Example 7 we saw that y(x) = lj (C - x) defnes a
one-parameter family of solutions of the diferential equa
tion dyjdx = y2. (a) Determine a value of C so that
y(lO) = 1 0. ..Is there a value of C such that y(O) =O?
Can you nevertheless fnd by inspection a solution of
dyjdx = y2 such that y(O) = O? (c) Figure 1 . 1 . 8 shows
typical graphs of solutions of the form y(x) =lj (C -x).
Does it appear that these solution curves fll the entire xy
plane? Can you conclude that, given any point (a, b) in
the plane, the diferential equation dyjdx = y2 has ex
actly one solution y(x) satisfying the condition y(a) = b?

23. What is the maximum height attained by the arrow of part
(b) of Example 3?
24. A ball is dropped from the top of a building 400 ft high.
How long does it take to reach the ground? With what
speed does the ball strike the ground?
25. The brakes of a car are applied when it is moving at 1 00
km/h and provide a constant deceleration of 1 0 meters per
second per second (m/s
2
) . How far does the car travel be
fore coming to a stop?
26. A projectile is fred straight upward with an initial veloc
ity of 1 00 m/s from the top of a building 20 m high and
falls to the ground at the base of the building. Find (a) its
maximum height above the ground; (b) when it passes the
top of the building; (c) its total time in the air.
27. A ball is thrown straight downward from the top of a tall
building. The initial speed of the ball is 10 m/s. It strikes
the ground with a speed of 60 m/s. How tall is the build
ing?
28. A baseball is thrown straight downward with an initial
speed of 40 f/s from the top of the Washington Monu
ment (555 f high). How long does it take to reach the
ground, and with what speed does the baseball strike the
ground?
29. A diesel car gradually speeds up so that for the frst 1 0 s
its acceleration is given by
.
.
= (0. 1 2) t
2
(0. 6)t (ft/s
2
) .
I f the car starts from rest (Xq = 0, 0q = 0) , fnd the dis
tance it has traveled at the end of the frst 10 s and its
velocity at that time.
30. A car traveling at 60 mi/h (f/s) skids 1 76 f after its
brakes are suddenly applied. Under the assumption that
the braking system provides constant deceleration, what
is that deceleration? For how long does the skid continue?
31. The skid marks made by an automobile indicated that its
brakes were fully applied for a distance of 75 m before it
came to a stop. The car in question is known to have a con
stant deceleration of 20 m/s
2
under these conditions. How
fast-in km/h-was the car traveling when the brakes
were frst applied?
32. Suppose that a car skids 15 m if it is moving at 50 km/h
when the brakes are applied. Assuming that the car has
the same constant deceleration, how far will it skid if it is
moving at 1 00 km/h when the brakes are applied?
33. On the planet Gzyx, a ball dropped from a height of 20 f
hits the ground in 2 s. If a ball is dropped from the top of
a 200-ft-tall building on Gzyx, how long will it take to hit
the ground? With what speed will it hit?
34. A person can throw a ball straight upward from the sur
face of the earth to a maximum height of l ++ ft. How
high could thi s person throw the ball on the planet Gzyx
of Problem 29?
35. A stone is dropped from rest at an initial height h above
the surface of the earth. Show that the speed with which it
strikes the ground is U = J2gh.
36. Suppose a woman has enough "spring" in her legs to jump
(on earth) from the ground to a height of 2. 25 feet. If
she jumps straight upward with the same initial velocity
on the moon-where the surface gravitational acceleration
is (approximately) 5. 3 fts
2
-how high above the surface
will she rise?
37. At noon a car starts from rest at point .and proceeds at
constant acceleration along a straight road toward point
B. If the car reaches B at 1 2: 50 . V. with a velocity of
60 mi/h, what is the distance from .to B?
38. At noon a car starts from rest at point .and proceeds with
constant acceleration along a straight road toward point C,
35 miles away. If the constantly accelerated car arrives at
C with a velocity of 60 mi/h, at what time does it arrive
at C?
39. If u = 0. 5 mi and 0q = 9 mi/h as in Example +, what
must the swimmer' s speed 0 be in order that he drifs
only l mile downstream as he crosses the river?
40. Suppose that u = 0. 5 mi , 0q = 9 mi/h, and 0 = 3 mi/h
as in Example +,but that the velocity of the river is given
by the fourth-degree function
rather than the quadratic function in Eq. ( l ). Now fnd
how far downstream the swimmer drifts as he crosses the
river.
41. A bomb is dropped from a helicopter hovering at an alti
tude of 800 feet above the ground. From the ground di
rectly beneath the helicopter, a projectile i s fred straight
upward toward the bomb, exactly 2 seconds after the bomb
is released. With what initial velocity should the projectile
be fred, in order to hit the bomb at an altitude of exactly
400 feet?
42. A spacecraft is in free fall toward the surface of the moon
at a speed of 1 000 mph (mi/h). Its retrorockets, when
fred, provide a constant deceleration of 20,000 mi/h
2
. At
what height above the lunar surface should the astronauts
fre the retrorockets to insure a soft touchdown? (As in
Example 2, ignore the moon

43. Arthur Clarke' s ..WndJm .Sun ( 1 963) describes
Diana, a spacecraf propelled by the solar wind. Its alu
minized sail provides it with a constant acceleration of
,= 0. 0098 m/s
2
Suppose this spacecraft starts
from rest at time = 0 and simultaneously fres a pro
jectile (straight ahead in the same direction) that travels at
one-tenth of the speed c = 3 ? 1 0
8
m/s of light. How long
will it take the spacecraft to catch up with the projectile,
and how far will it have traveled by then?
44. A driver involved in an accident claims he was going only
25 mph. When police tested his car, they found that when
its brakes were applied at 25 mph, the car skdded only
45 feet before coming to a stop. But the driver's skd
marks at the accident scene measured 21 0 feet. Assum
ing the same (constant) deceleration, determine the speed
he was actually traveling just prior to the accident.

65. Just before midday the body of an apparent homicide vic
tim is found in a room that is kept at a constant tempera
ture of 70 F. At 1 2 noon the temperature of the body is
80 F and at 1 . V. it is 75 F. Assume that the temperature
of the body at the time of death was 98. 6 F and that it has
cooled in accord with Newton' s law. What was the time
of death?
66. Early one morning it began to snow at a constant rate. At
7 A. M. a snowplow set off to clear a road. By 8 A. M. it

68. Figure 1 . 4. 1 1 shows a bead sliding down a frictionless
wire from point to point Q. The .....,
asks what shape the wire should be in order to min
imize the bead' s time of descent from to Q. In June
of 1 696, John Bernoulli proposed this problem as a pub
lic challenge, with a 6-month deadline (later extended to
Easter 1 697 at George Leibniz' s request). Isaac Newton,
then retired from academic life and serving as Warden
of the Mint in London, received Bernoulli 's challenge on
January 29, 1 697. The very next day he communicated
his own solution-the curve of minimal descent time is an
46 Chapter I Fi rst-Order Di fferenti al Equati ons
arc of an inverted cycloid-to the Royal Society of Lon
don. For a modem derivation of this result, suppose the
bead starts from rest at the origin and let y = y(.) be
the equation of the desired curve in a coordinate system
with the y- axis pointing downward. Then a mechanical
analogue of Snel l ' s law in optics implies that
sin a
= constant,
(i)
where a denotes the angle of defection (from the verti
cal) of the tangent line to the curve-so cot a = y' .

We can see by inspection that
Yl (x) ~ cos x and Y
2
(X) ~ sin x
are two solutions of the equation
Y" +Y ~
O.
Theorem 1 tells us that any linear combination of these solutions, such as
y(x) ~ 3Yl (X) - 2Y
2
(X) ~ 3 cos x - 2 sin x,
is also a solution. We will see later that, conversely, e.esolution of y" +Y =c
is a linear combination of these two particular solutions Yl and Y
2
. Thus a general
solution of y" +Y ~ cis given by
y(x) ~ Cl cos x +C
2
sin x.
It i s important to understand that this single formula for the general solution encom
passes a "twofold infnity" of particular solutions, because the two coefcients Cl
and C
2
can be selected independently. Figures 2. 1 . 3 through 2. 1 . 5 illustrate some of
the possibilities, with either Cl or C
2
set equal to zero, or with both nonzero.

Earlier in this section we gave the linear equation mx" +CX' +kx ~ i,;as
a mathematical model of the motion of the mass shown in Fig. 2. 1 . 1 . Physical con
siderations suggest that the motion of the mass should be determined by its initial
position and initial velocity. Hence, given any preassigned values of x ,c)and x' (
O),
Eq. ( 6) ought to have a /,e solution satisfying these initial conditions. More
generally, in order to be a "good" mathematical model of a deterministic physical
situation, a diferential equation must have unique solutions satisfing any appro
priate initial conditions. The following existence and uniqueness theorem (proved
in the Appendix) gives us this assurance for the general second-order equation.

THEOREM Z Existence and Uniqueness for Linear Equations
Suppose that the functions , g, and I are continuous on the open interval i
containing the point c. Then, given any two numbers bo and bl , the equation
y
We saw in the frst part of Example I that y,x;= 3cos x 2sin xis a solution (on
the entire real line) of y+y = c It has the initial values y,c; = 3, y ,c;= 2
Theorem 2 tells us that this is the o/y solution with these initial values. More
generally, the solution
y,x; = bo cos x +bl sin x
satisfes the c//minitial conditions y(0) = bo, y(0) = bl ; this illustrates the
ex/se.eof such a solution, also as guaranteed by Theorem 2.

Theorem , this determinant is nonzero, so by elementary algebra it follows that the
equations in ( 1 4) can be solved for CI and C2 . With these values of CI and C2 , we
defne the solution
of Eq. (9), then
G(a) =CI YI (a) +c
2
Y2 (a) =Y(a)
and
G' (a) =CI y,(a) +
c2y (a) ~ Y' (a) .
Thus the two solutions Y and G have the same initial values at a; likewise, s o do I'
and G' . By the uniqueness of a solution determined by such initial values (Theorem
2), it follows that Y and G agree on i Thus we see that
Y(x) = G(x) ~ CI YI
(x) +C

37. Before applying Eq. ( 1 9) with a given homogeneous
second-order linear diferential equation and a known so
lution Yl (x) , the equation must frst be written in the form
of ( 1 8) with leading coefcient I in order to correctly
determine the coefcient function p(x) . Frequently it is
more convenient to simply substitute Y = V(X) Yl (X) in
the given diferential equation and then proceed directly

Suppose that one solution YI (x) of the homogeneous
second-order linear diferential equation
Y" + p(x) y' + q (x) y = 0 ( 1 8)
is known (on an interval where
P

functions). The method of reduction of order consists
of substituting Y

to determine the function v ex) so that Y
2
(X) is a second
linearly independent solution of ( 1 8) . Afer substituting

solution to deduce that

If YI (x) is known, then ( 1 9) is a separable equation that

29. Consider the crossbow bolt of Example in Section
shot straight upward from the ground with an initial veloc
ity of 49 m/s. Because of linear air resistance, its velocity
function satisfes the initial value problem
.
.
. .
with exact solution .
.Use a calcu
lator or computer implementation of the improved Euler
method to approximate for ,,using both
.and . subintervals. Display the results
at intervals of second. Do the two approximations
each rounded to two decimal places-agree both with
each other and with the exact solution? If the exact so
lution were unavailable, explain how you could use the
improved Euler method to approximate closely (a) the
bolt's time of ascent to its apex (given in Section as
. s) and (b) its impact velocity afer 9. 41 s in the air.
30. Consider now the crossbow bolt of Example in Section
It still is shot straight upward from the ground with
an initial velocity of 49 mis, but because of air resistance
proportional to the square of its velocity, its velocity func
tion satisfes the initial value problem
.
= ..
.
The symbolic solution discussed in Section required
separate investigations of the bolt' s ascent and its descent,
with given by a tangent function during ascent and
by a hyperbolic tangent function during descent. But
the improved Euler method requires no such distinction.
Use a calculator or computer implementation of the im
proved Euler method to approximate for ,,
using both . and .subintervals. Dis
play the results at intervals of second. Do the two
approximations-- each rounded to two decimal places
agree with each other? If an exact solution were un
available, explain how you could use the improved Euler
method to approximate closely (a) the bolt' s time of as
cent to its apex (given in Section as . s) and (b) its
impact velocity after . s in the air.

28. Suppose that . is a solution of the autonomous
system and that y = O. Defne . . y) and
. y) . Then show (in contrast with the sit
uation in Problem that . . .is also a solution
of the system. Thus autonomous systems have the simple
but important property that a "t-translate" of a solution is
again a solution.

to show that .
.and .
.are identical
solutions. Hence the original two trajectories are identi
cal. Thus no two diferent trajectories of an autonomous
system can intersect.

lution of an autonomous system either is periodic with
a closed trajectory, or else its trajectory never passes
through the same point twice. for .t. Thus the solution (XI (t) , YI (t is periodic with

(b) Separate variables and integrate directly to show that
if E _ 0, then as +0, so in this case the
origin is a stable spiral point. (c) Show similarly that if
E > 0, then as +0, so in this case the
origin is an unstable spiral point. The circle =
itself is a closed periodic solution or Thus a
limit cycle of increasing size is spawned as the parameter
E increases through the critical value 0.
In the case of a two-dimensional system that is .almost
linear, the trajectories near an isolated critical point can
exhibit a considerably more complicated structure than
those near the nodes, centers, saddle points, and spiral
points discussed in this section. For example, consider
the system
..

38. First note that the characteristic equation of the Z ma
trix A can be written in the form
r+ D = 0,
where D is the determinant of A and the trace rof the
matrix A is the sum of its two diagonal elements. Then
apply Theorem to show that the type of the critical point
(0, 0) of the system x' = Ax is determined-as indicated
in Fig. ,the location of the point ,r, D) in the
....,..with horizontal r-axis and verti
cal D-axis.
FIGURE 7.3.20. The critical point (0, 0) of the
system x' = Ax is a
spiral sink or source if the point ,r D) lies
above the parabola r
= 4D but of the
D-axis;
stable center if , r.D) lies on the positive
D-axis;
nodal sink or source if , rD) lies between the
parabola and the r-axis;
saddle point if ,r, D) lies beneath the r-axis.
