1 . Second order; linear
2 . Third order; nonlinear because of (dy/dx)4
3. Fourth order; linear
4. Second order; nonlinear bccausc of cos(r + u)
5. Second order; nonlinear because of (dy/dx)2 or 1 + (dy/dx)2
6 . Second order: nonlinear bccausc of R~
7. Third order: linear
8 . Second order; nonlinear because of x2
9. Writing the differential equation in the form x(dy/dx) -f y2 = 1. we sec 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.
10. Writing the differential equation in the form u(dv/du) + (1 + u)v = ueu wc 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 ■

ll. From y = e-*/2 we obtain y' = —\e~x'2. Then 2y' + y = —e~X//2 + e-x/2 = 0.
12 . From y = | — |e-20* we obtain dy/dt = 24e-20t, so that
% + 20y = 24e~m + 20 - |e_20t) = 24.

13. R'om y = eix cos 2x we obtain y1= 3e^x cos 2x — 2e3* sin 2a? and y” = 5e3,xcos 2x — 12e3,xsin 2x, so
that y" — (k/ + l?>y = 0.
14. From y = —cos:r ln(sec;r + tanrc) we obtain y’ — —1 + sin.Tln(secx + tana:) and
y" = tan x + cos x ln(sec x + tan a?). Then y" -f y = tan x.
15. The domain of the function, found by solving x + 2 > 0, is [—2, oo). From y’ = 1 + 2(x + 2)_1/2 we
