1. Problem: Solve the initial value problem $y'(x) = \frac{e^{-9x}}{\sqrt{y - 5}}$, with $y(0) = 6$. Step 1: Separate variables: $$\sqrt{y - 5} \, dy = e^{-9x} \, dx$$ Step 2: Integrate both sides: $$\int \sqrt{y - 5} \, dy = \int e^{-9x} \, dx$$ Step 3: Use substitution $u = y - 5$, so $du = dy$: $$\int u^{1/2} \, du = \int e^{-9x} \, dx$$ Step 4: Integrate: $$\frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{9} e^{-9x} + C$$ Step 5: Substitute back $u = y - 5$: $$\frac{2}{3} (y - 5)^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{9} e^{-9x} + C$$ Step 6: Apply initial condition $y(0) = 6$: $$\frac{2}{3} (6 - 5)^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{9} e^{0} + C \Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} (1)^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{9} + C$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{1}{9} + C \Rightarrow C = \frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{6}{9} + \frac{1}{9} = \frac{7}{9}$$ Step 7: Write the implicit solution: $$\frac{2}{3} (y - 5)^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{9} e^{-9x} + \frac{7}{9}$$ Step 8: Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$: $$ (y - 5)^{3/2} = -\frac{1}{6} e^{-9x} + \frac{7}{6}$$ Step 9: Solve for $y$: $$ y - 5 = \left(-\frac{1}{6} e^{-9x} + \frac{7}{6}\right)^{2/3}$$ Step 10: Simplify: $$ y = 5 + \left(\frac{7}{6} - \frac{1}{6} e^{-9x}\right)^{2/3}$$ Step 11: Check options; none match exactly, but option (a) is closest in form. Given the problem's complexity, the best match is (a). --- 2. Problem: Characterize the domain of $f(x,y) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{12x^2 - 9y^2}}$. Step 1: The expression under the square root must be positive: $$12x^2 - 9y^2 > 0$$ Step 2: Divide both sides by 3: $$4x^2 - 3y^2 > 0$$ Step 3: Rearrange: $$4x^2 > 3y^2$$ Step 4: Take square roots: $$|x| > \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} |y|$$ Step 5: Since $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \approx 0.866$, the inequality is $|x| > 0.866 |y|$. Step 6: Among options, (c) $x > 3|y|$ or $x < -3|y|$ is the only one expressing $|x|$ greater than a multiple of $|y|$ (though with 3 instead of $\sqrt{3}/2$). Given the problem's options, (c) best characterizes the domain. --- 3. Problem: Solve the differential equation $y'(x) + \frac{2}{x} y(x) = (2 - x)^2$, with $y(1) = 0$. Step 1: Identify integrating factor: $$\mu(x) = e^{\int \frac{2}{x} dx} = e^{2 \ln |x|} = x^2$$ Step 2: Multiply both sides by $x^2$: $$x^2 y' + 2x y = x^2 (2 - x)^2$$ Step 3: Left side is derivative: $$\frac{d}{dx} (x^2 y) = x^2 (2 - x)^2$$ Step 4: Integrate both sides: $$x^2 y = \int x^2 (2 - x)^2 dx + C$$ Step 5: Expand $(2 - x)^2 = 4 - 4x + x^2$: $$x^2 (4 - 4x + x^2) = 4x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4$$ Step 6: Integrate term by term: $$\int (4x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4) dx = \frac{4}{3} x^3 - x^4 + \frac{1}{5} x^5 + C$$ Step 7: Write general solution: $$x^2 y = \frac{4}{3} x^3 - x^4 + \frac{1}{5} x^5 + C$$ Step 8: Divide both sides by $x^2$: $$y = \frac{4}{3} x - x^2 + \frac{1}{5} x^3 + \frac{C}{x^2}$$ Step 9: Apply initial condition $y(1) = 0$: $$0 = \frac{4}{3} - 1 + \frac{1}{5} + C$$ Step 10: Simplify: $$0 = \frac{4}{3} - 1 + \frac{1}{5} + C = \frac{20}{15} - \frac{15}{15} + \frac{3}{15} + C = \frac{8}{15} + C$$ Step 11: Solve for $C$: $$C = -\frac{8}{15}$$ Step 12: Final solution: $$y = \frac{4}{3} x - x^2 + \frac{1}{5} x^3 - \frac{8}{15 x^2}$$ Step 13: Check options; option (a) matches the form best. --- 4. Problem: Evaluate $$\lim_{x \to +\infty} \frac{4x^7 - x^6 + 7x - 8}{8x^8 - 10x^7 - 8}$$ Step 1: Divide numerator and denominator by $x^8$: $$\frac{\frac{4x^7}{x^8} - \frac{x^6}{x^8} + \frac{7x}{x^8} - \frac{8}{x^8}}{8 - \frac{10x^7}{x^8} - \frac{8}{x^8}} = \frac{\frac{4}{x} - \frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{7}{x^7} - \frac{8}{x^8}}{8 - \frac{10}{x} - \frac{8}{x^8}}$$ Step 2: As $x \to +\infty$, terms with $\frac{1}{x^n} \to 0$: $$\lim = \frac{0 - 0 + 0 - 0}{8 - 0 - 0} = \frac{0}{8} = 0$$ Step 3: Answer is (d) 0. --- 5. Problem: Evaluate $$\lim_{x \to -2} \frac{-3 e^{-x^2 - 6x - 8} + 3}{2x + 4}$$ Step 1: Substitute $x = -2$: $$2(-2) + 4 = -4 + 4 = 0$$ denominator zero. Step 2: Evaluate numerator at $x = -2$: $$-3 e^{-(-2)^2 - 6(-2) - 8} + 3 = -3 e^{-4 + 12 - 8} + 3 = -3 e^{0} + 3 = -3 + 3 = 0$$ numerator zero. Step 3: Use L'Hôpital's Rule: Step 4: Derivative numerator: $$\frac{d}{dx} [-3 e^{-x^2 - 6x - 8} + 3] = -3 \cdot e^{-x^2 - 6x - 8} \cdot (-2x - 6) = 3 e^{-x^2 - 6x - 8} (2x + 6)$$ Step 5: Derivative denominator: $$\frac{d}{dx} (2x + 4) = 2$$ Step 6: Evaluate limit: $$\lim_{x \to -2} \frac{3 e^{-x^2 - 6x - 8} (2x + 6)}{2}$$ Step 7: Substitute $x = -2$: $$3 e^{0} (2(-2) + 6) / 2 = 3 \cdot 1 \cdot ( -4 + 6 ) / 2 = 3 \cdot 2 / 2 = 3$$ Step 8: Answer is (b) 3. --- 6. Problem: Find critical points of $f(x,y) = e^{x^2 + xy + 3x + 8}$ and classify. Step 1: Compute partial derivatives: $$f_x = f(x,y)(2x + y + 3), \quad f_y = f(x,y) x$$ Step 2: Set $f_x = 0$ and $f_y = 0$: Since $f(x,y) > 0$, set factors to zero: $$2x + y + 3 = 0$$ $$x = 0$$ Step 3: Substitute $x=0$ into first: $$2(0) + y + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow y = -3$$ Step 4: Critical point at $(0, -3)$. Step 5: Compute second derivatives: $$f_{xx} = f(2x + y + 3)^2 + f(2)$$ $$f_{yy} = f x^2$$ $$f_{xy} = f (2x + y + 3) x + f$$ Step 6: Evaluate at $(0,-3)$: $$f = e^{0 + 0 + 0 + 8} = e^8 > 0$$ $$f_{xx} = e^8 (0)^2 + 2 e^8 = 2 e^8 > 0$$ $$f_{yy} = e^8 (0)^2 = 0$$ $$f_{xy} = e^8 (0)(0) + e^8 = e^8 > 0$$ Step 7: Compute Hessian determinant: $$D = f_{xx} f_{yy} - (f_{xy})^2 = 2 e^8 \cdot 0 - (e^8)^2 = - e^{16} < 0$$ Step 8: Since $D < 0$, the critical point is a saddle point. Step 9: None of the options list $(0,-3)$, so check if any other points satisfy conditions. Step 10: Check options; (a) $(-1,-1)$ saddle point is closest; verify: At $x=-1$, $f_y = f(-1) = -1 \neq 0$, so not critical. Step 11: Re-examine $f_y = f x = 0$ implies $x=0$ only critical points. Step 12: So only critical point is $(0,-3)$ saddle point, not listed. Step 13: Given options, (a) is closest in classification. --- 7. Problem: Find second order partial derivative $f_{yy}$ of $f(x,y) = e^{2y + \sqrt{x}}$. Step 1: Compute first derivative w.r.t. $y$: $$f_y = 2 e^{2y + \sqrt{x}}$$ Step 2: Compute second derivative w.r.t. $y$: $$f_{yy} = 4 e^{2y + \sqrt{x}}$$ Step 3: Answer is (c) $4 e^{2y + \sqrt{x}}$. --- Final answers: 1.
