Question 1

What form does a first-order linear differential equation take?

\\( \\frac{dy}{dx} + P(y)x = Q(x) \\)
\\( \\frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x) \\)
\\( dy + P(x)y = Q(y) \\)

💡 Hint: Remember the relationship between the dependent variable and its rate of change.

Question 2

True or False: \( Q(x) \) represents the homogeneous part of the equation.

True
False

💡 Hint: Think about what distinguishes non-homogeneous from homogeneous.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a real-world scenario, model it using a first-order linear differential equation. Then, outline the steps you would take to solve it using the integrating factor.

💡 Hint: Identify the rate of change and the influences acting on your system.

Challenge 2 Hard

Create a physical scenario where the rate of a process varies due to external conditions, and derive the associated differential equation.

💡 Hint: Consider how environmental factors might alter expected outcomes.
