11. Writing the differential equation in the form x(dy/dx) + y2 = 1, we see that it is nonlinear
in y because of y2. However, writing it in the form (y2 − 1)(dx/dy) + x = 0, we see that it is
linear in x.
12. Writing the differential equation in the form u(dv/du) + (1 + u)v = ueu we see that it is
linear in v. However, writing it in the form (v + uv − ueu)(du/dv) + u = 0, we see that it is
nonlinear in u.
13. From y = e−x/2 we obtain y′ = − 12 e−x/2. Then 2y′ + y = −e−x/2 + e−x/2 = 0.

= y − x + 8(x + 2)1/2 (x + 2)−1/2 = y − x + 8.

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−2, ∞) because y′ is
not defined at x = −2.
18. Since tan x is not defined for x = π/2 + nπ, n an integer, the domain of y = 5 tan 5x is
{x 5x /= π/2 + nπ}
or {x x /= π/10 + nπ/5}. From y ′= 25 sec 25x we have

y = 25(1 + tan2 5x) = 25 + 25 tan2 5x = 25 + y 2 .

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−π/10, π/10). An-
other interval is (π/10, 3π/10), and so on.

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (−2, 2). Other inter-

An interval of definition for the solution of the differential equation is (π/2, 5π/2). Another

X= .
et − 2

Solving et − 2 = 0 we get t = ln 2. Thus, the solution is defined on (−∞, ln 2) or on (ln 2, ∞).
The graph of the solution defined on (−∞, ln 2) is dashed, and the graph of the solution
defined on (ln 2, ∞) is solid.

Thus, two explicit solutions are y1 = x2 + x4 + 1 and

y2 = x2 − x4 + 1 . Both solutions are defined on (−∞, ∞).
The graph of y1(x) is solid and the graph of y2 is dashed.
