All other capabilities of your calculator can only be used to check your answer. For example, you may not use the built-in [Inflection] function of your calculator to find points of inflection.

13.4 Differential Equations

Main Concepts:

Exponential Growth/Decay Problems, Separable Differential Equations

Exponential Growth/Decay Problems

1. If Image, then the rate of change of y is proportional to y.

2. If y is a differentiable function of t with Image, then y(t) = y0ekt; where y0 is initial value of y and k is constant. If k > 0, then k is a growth constant and if k < 0, then k is the decay constant.

Example 1—Population Growth

If the amount of bacteria in a culture at any time increases at a rate proportional to the amount of bacteria present and there are 500 bacteria after one day and 800 bacteria after the third day:

(a) approximately how many bacteria are there initially, and

(b) approximately how many bacteria are there after 4 days?

Solution:

(a) Since the rate of increase is proportional to the amount of bacteria present, then:

Image where y is the amount of bacteria at any time.

Therefore, this is an exponential growth/decay model: y(t) = y0ekt.

Step 1. y(1) = 500 and y(3) = 800

500 = y0ek and 800 = y0e3k

Step 2. Image

Substitute y0 = 500ek into 800 = y0e3k.

Image

Take the ln of both sides:

Image

Step 3. Substitute Image into one of the equations.

Image

Thus, there are 395 bacteria present initially.

Image

Thus there are approximately 1011 bacteria present after 4 days.

Example 2—Radioactive Decay

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years. If initially there are 60 grams of carbon-14, how many grams are left after 3000 years?

Step 1. y(t) = y0ekt = 60ekt

Since half-life is 5750 years, Image.

Image

Step 2. y(t) = y0ekt

Image

Thus, there will be approximately 41.792 grams of carbon-14 after 3000 years.

13.5 Slope Fields

Main Concepts: Slope Fields, Solution of Different Equations

A slope field (or a direction field) for first-order differential equations is a graphic representation of the slopes of a family of curves. It consists of a set of short line segments drawn on a pair of axes. These line segments are the tangents to a family of solution curves for the differential equation at various points. The tangents show the direction which the solution curves will follow. Slope fields are useful in sketching solution curves without having to solve a differential equation algebraically.

Example 1

If Image, draw a slope field for the given differential equation.

Step 1: Set up a table of values for Image for selected values of x.

Image

Note that since Image, the numerical value of Image is independent of the value of y. For example, at the points (1, − 1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (1, 2), (1, 3), and at all the points whose x-coordinates are 1, the numerical value of Image is 0.5 regardless of their y-coordinates. Similarly, for all the points, whose x-coordinates are 2 (e.g., (2, − 1), (2, 0), (2, 3), etc.), Image. Also, remember that Image represents the slopes of the tangent lines to the curve at various points. You are now ready to draw these tangents.

Step 2: Draw short line segments with the given slopes at the various points. The slope field for the differential equation Image is shown in Figure 13.5-1.

Image

Figure 13.5-1

Example 2

Figure 13.5-2 shows a slope field for one of the differential equations given below. Identify the equation.

Image

Figure 13.5-2

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Solution:

If you look across horizontally at any row of tangents, you’ll notice that the tangents have the same slope. (Points on the same row have the same y-coordinate but different x-coordinates.) Therefore, the numerical value of Image(which represents the slope of the tangent) depends solely on the y-coordinate of a point and it is independent of the x-coordinate. Thus, only choice (c) and choice (d) satisfy this condition. Also notice that the tangents have a negative slope when y > 0 and have a positive slope when y < 0.

Therefore, the correct choice is (c) Image.

Example 3

A slope field for a differential equation is shown in Figure 13.5-3. Draw a possible graph for the particular solution y = f(x) to the differential equation function, if (a) the initial condition is f (0) = − 2 and (b) the initial condition is f(0) = 0.

Image

Figure 13.5-3

Solution:

Begin by locating the point (0, −2) as given in the initial condition. Follow the flow of the field and sketch the graph of the function. Repeat the same procedure with the point (0, 0). See the curves as shown in Figure 13.5-4.

(c) Find, algebraically, the particular solution y = f(x) to the differential equation with the initial condition f (0) = 3.

Solution:

(a) Set up a table of values for Image at the 15 given points.

Then sketch the tangents at the various points as shown in Figure 13.5-6.

Image

(b) Locate the point (0, 3) as indicated in the initial condition. Follow the flow of the field and sketch the curve as shown Figure 13.5-7.

(c)

Step 1: Rewrite Image as Image.

Step 2: Integrate both sides Image and obtain ln Image.

Step 3: Apply the exponential function to both sides and obtain Image.

Step 4: Simplify the equation and get Image.

Let k = eC and you have Image.

Step 5: Substitute initial condition (0, 3) and obtain k = 3. Thus, you have Image.

13.6 Logistic Differential Equations

Main Concepts: Logistic Growth

Often population may grow exponentially at first, but eventually slows as it nears a limit, called the carrying capacity. This patten is called logistic growth, and is represented by the differential equation Image, in which P is the population, K is the carrying capacity, and k is the proportional constant. The differential equation is separable so Image. This equation can be integrated using a partial fraction decomposition.

Image

Exponention produces Image. Solving for P yields Image. Dividing numerator and denominator by Image. At t = 0, Image. Solving for C2 yields Image or Image. Let Image, and the solution of this logistic differential equation with initial condition Imagewhere K is the carrying capacity and Image.

Example 1

The population of United Kingdom was 57.1 million in 2001 and 60.6 million in 2006. Find a logistic model for the growth of the population, assuming a carrying capacity of 100 million. Use the model to predict the population in 2020.

Step 1: Since the carrying capacity is K = 100, Image.

Step 2: The solution of the differential equation, if Image is Image or Image.

Step 3: Take 2006 as t = 5, P (5) = 60.6. Then Image. Solving gives Image.

Step 4: Since the year 2020 corresponds to t = 19, Substitute and evaluate Image. The population of United Kingdom in 2020 is predicted to be approximately 69.742 million.

Example 2

The spread of an infectious disease can often be modeled by a logistic equation with the total exposed population as the carrying capacity. In a community of 2000 individuals, the first case of a new virus is diagnosed on March 31, and by April 10, there are 500 individuals infected. Write a differential equation that models the rate at which the virus spread through the community and determine when 98% of the population will have contracted the virus.

Step 1: The rate of spread is Image.

Step 2: The solution of the differential equation is Image, and with one person exposed, Image, or Image.

Step 3: Taking April 10 as day 10, Image. Solving the equation gives k ≈.6502, so Image.

Step 4: 98% of the population of 2000 is 1960 people. To determine the day when 1960 people are infected, solve Image. This gives t ≈ 17.6749, so the 98% infection rate should be reached by April 18.

13.7 Euler’s Method

Main Concept: Approximating Solutions of Differential Equations by Euler’s Method.

Approximating Solutions of Differential Equations by Euler’s Method

Euler’s Method provides a means of estimating the numerical solution of differential equations by a series of successive linear approximations. Represent the differential equation by y′ = f′(x, y) and the initial condition y0 = f(x0), and choose a small value, Δx, as the increment between estimates. Begin with the initial value y0, and evaluate Image. Continue with Image, and in general, Image.

Example 1

Given the initial value problem Image with y (0) = 1, approximate y (1), using five steps.

Step 1: The interval (0, 1) divided into five steps gives us Δt = 0.2.

Step 2: Create a table showing the iterations.

Image

y (1) ≈ 1

Example 2

Use Euler’s method with a step size of Δx = 0.1 to compute y(1) if y(x) is the solution of the differential equation Image with initial condition y (0) = 3.

Step 1: For case of the evaluation, transform Image to Image.

Step 2: Create a table showing the iterations. A simple problem, stored in your calculator and modified with the new differential equation and initial condition, will allow you to generate the table quickly.

Image

y (1) ≈ 2.393

Example 3

Use Euler’s Method to approximate P(4), given Image with initial condition P(0) = 4. Use an increment of Δt = 0.5.
