Problem 1: Multiple Choice Questions: Circle ONE correct answer (a, b, c, d, or

e). There is no partial credit in this question.

1 : Consider the (discontinuous) function described by

f (t) =

0 t < 1 −(2t + 1) 1 ≤ t ≤ 2 t^2 2 < t ≤ 4 0 4 < t

This function can be written in terms of step functions as follows: (a) f (t) = −(u 1 (t) + u 2 (t))(2t + 1) + (u 2 (t) + u 4 (t))t^2 (b) f (t) = −(2t + 1)u 1 (t) + (t + 1)^2 u 2 (t) − t^2 u 4 (t) (c) f (t) = −(2t + 1)u 1 (t) + t^2 u 2 (t) (d) f (t) = (2t + 1)u 2 (t) + t^2 u 4 (t) (e) f (t) = −(2t + 1)u 2 (t) − t^2 u 4 (t)

2 : Suppose that two solutions of a differential equation y′′^ + p(t)y′^ + q(t)y = 0 are y 1 (t) = t^2 − 2 t + 1 and y 2 = t − 1. Then the Wronskian of these solutions, W is

(a) W = −(t − 1)^2 (b) W = 3t^2 − 6 t + 3 (c) W = (t − 1)(2t − 3) (d) W = −t^2 + 6t − 1 (e) W = (t − 1)^3

3 : To solve the ODE y′′^ − y′^ − 2 y = t + te−t, the form of the particular solution that is needed is

(a) yp(t) = At + Bte−t (b) yp(t) = At + B + Cte−t (c) yp(t) = At + B + (Ct + D)e−t (d) yp(t) = At + B + t(Ct + D)e−t (e) yp(t) = At^2 + t^2 (Ct + D)e−t

Problem 2: Let x(t) =

[

x(t) y(t)

]

, and consider the following systems of equations.

(a) Match each system with a corresponding phase plane diagram (circle 1 correct response: a,b,c,d, or None).

(b) For those cases that matched, draw a few arrows directly on the diagrams to indicate the direction of increasing time along the solution curves in the xy plane. (Hint: you do not need to solve the ODEs fully to figure out those directions.)

Problem 5:

(a) Solve the initial value problem y′′^ − 3 y′^ + 2y = δ(t − 1), y(0) = 1, y′(0) = 1. (b) What is the value of y at time t = 2?

Problem 7: For a holiday dinner, a large roast is to be cooked. At time t = 0, the roast is taken out of the refrigerator, and its initial temperature is T (0) = 0◦^ Celsius. It is left at room temperature (Eroom = 20◦ Celsius) for 1 hour. Then it is put into an oven (Eoven = 220◦^ Celsius) for 1 hour. After this time, it is left at room temperature until dinner. Assume that Newton’s Law of Cooling is a good approximation so that the temperature of the roast T (t) at time t > 0 satisfies

dT dt

= k(E(t) − T ), where the ambient temperature is E(t) =

Eroom 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 Eoven 1 < t ≤ 2 Eroom 2 < t

For simplicity, assume that k = 1. Find the temperature of the roast, T (t) for t > 0.
