Question:

Query problem 11.1.8 previously 11.1.10 Find a value of omega such that y '' + 9 y = 0 is satisfied by y = cos(omega * t).

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: I substituted y=cos(omega*t) in to the equation and calculated up to the second derivative of y. and substituted again.

Given Solution:

Substitute y = cos(omega * t) into the equation. The goal is to find the value of omega that satisfies the equation:

We first calculate y ‘’

y = cos(omega*t) so

y' = -omega*sin(omega*t) and

y"""" = -omega^2*cos(omega*t)

Now substituting in y"""" + 9y = 0 we obtain

-omega^2*cos(omega*t) + 9cos(omega*t) = 0 , which can be easily solved for omega:

-omega^2*cos(omega*t) = -9cos(omega*t)

omega^2 = 9

omega = +3, -3

Both solutions check in the original equation.

Question:

Query problem 11.1.18 (4th edition 11.1.14 3d edition 11.1.13) (formerly 10.6.1) P = 1 / (1 + e^-t) satisfies dP/dt = P(1-P)

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Your solution: multiplied the numerator and denominator and simplified and substituted.

Given Solution:

RESPONSE -->

P= 1/(1+e^-t) ; multiplying numerator and denominator by e^t we have

P = e^t/(e^t+1) , which is a form that makes the algebra a little easier.

dP/dt = [ (e^t)’ ( e^t + 1) - (e^t + 1) ‘ e^t ] / (e^t + 1)^2, which simplifies to

dP/dt = [ e^t ( e^t + 1) - e^t * e^t ] / (e^t+1)^2 = e^t / (e^t + 1)^2.

Substituting:

P(1-P) = e^t/(e^t+1) * [1 - e^t/(e^t+1)] . We simplify this in order to see if it is the same as our expression for dP/dt:

e^t/(e^t+1) * [1 - e^t/(e^t+1)] = e^t / (e^t + 1) - (e^t)^2 / (e^t + 1)^2. Putting the first term into a form with common denominator

e^t ( e^t + 1) / [ (e^t + 1) ( e^t + 1) ] - (e^t)^2 / (e^t + 1 ) ^ 2

= (e^(2 t) + e^t) / (e^t + 1)^2 - e^(2 t) / (e^t + 1) ^ 2

= (e^(2 t) + e^t - e^(2 t) ) / (e^t + 1)^2

= e^t / (e^t + 1)^2.

This agrees with our expression for dP/dt and we see that dP/dt = P ( 1 - P).
