Question 1:

Marks=10

What is the difference between Initial and Boundary value problems? Moreover find the solution and interval of validity for the following Initial Value Problem. 6 dy 2 y = x y 4 ; y ( 0) = 2 dx Marks=10

Question 2:

Find the solution and interval of validity for the following Initial Value Problem. dy 2 x y2 + 4 = 2 3 x2y ; y( 1) = 8 dx Question 3: Marks=10 Using the concept of derivatives solve the following linear model. The population of a certain community is known to increase at a rate proportional to the number of people present at any time. The population grows from 200 people to 300 people in 5 years. How long will it take for the original population to triple? What will be the population in 50 years?
