This activity is graded for completion so long as a relevant and genuine handwritten attempt is made on each exercise. This activity is due in Gradescope by 11:59PM.

(a)
Consider a so-called Bernoulli equation: \(y^{\,\prime }+p(x)y=f(x)y^{n}\) where \(n\) is a real number not equal to \(0\) nor \(1\).
(i)
For what values of \(n\) does a Bernoulli equation have a constant solution. For those values, what constant solution(s) does a Bernoulli equation have? Put the answer in the box provided.

(ii)
Find the general solution to the Bernoulli equation \(y^{\,\prime }+y=\dfrac {y^3}{e^{x}}\). Put the answer in the box provided.

Hints: make note of any constant solution(s). You can use that
\(y_1=e^{-x}\) is a solution to the complementary equation together with the substitution \(u=\dfrac {y}{y_1}\) to transform the equation into a separable equation. Alternatively, the substitution \(v=y^{-2}\) will transform he equation into a linear equation..

\(y=\)
(iii)
Solve the IVP \(y^{\,\prime }+y=\dfrac {y^3}{e^{x}}\), \(y(0)=-1\). Put the answer in the box provided.

(iv)
Solve the IVP \(y^{\,\prime }+y=\dfrac {y^3}{e^{x}}\), \(y(0)=0\). Put the answer in the box provided.

(b)
A nonlinear homogeneous first order equation is a nonlinear differential equation of the form \(y^{\,\prime }=f(y/x)\). By applying the substitution \(u=y/x\) we can transform this type of equation to a separable differential equation..
(i)
Solve \(y^{\,\prime }=\dfrac {x^{2}-xy+y^{2}}{x^{2}}\). Show all your work. Put the answer in the box provided.

(ii)
Solve the IVP \(y^{\,\prime }=\dfrac {x^{2}-xy+y^{2}}{x^{2}}\), \(y(1)=0\). Show all your work. Put the answer in the box provided.

(c)
Another kind of substitution:
(i)
Consider \(y^{\,\prime }=(2x-y+3)^{2}\). What transformation do you see that might be useful? Put the answer in the box provided.

\(u=\)
(ii)
Transform the equation! Put the resulting equation in the box provided.

(iii)
Solve for \(u\) and then \(y\). Put the solutions in the box provided.

\(u=\) \(y=\)
(d)
Now consider the first order differential equation \((y^{\,\prime }(t))^{2}=t+y\). Try to solve it for an implicit general solution of the form \(F(t,y)=C\). Put your answer in the box provided.

Hint: \(\displaystyle \int \dfrac {1}{1\pm \sqrt {u}}\;du\) can be evaluated with a substitution for the denominator.

\(=C\)
