the beginning of this section, but with an extra condition:
dy
dx
= −2y, y(0) = 5.
This means that not only do you need the differential equation to be satisfied
by your solution, you also need to ensure that when you set x = 0, you get
y = 5. We know that y = Ae
kx
is the general solution to the differential
equation dy/dx = ky; by setting k = −2, we see that the general solution of
the above differential equation is y = Ae
−2x
for some constant A. Now put
x = 0 and y = 5 to see that 5 = Ae
−2(0)
, or simply A = 5. The extra piece of
information y(0) = 5 has allowed us to pin down the value of A, so the actual
solution is y = 5e
−2x
.
What we have just been looking at is an example of an initial value prob-
lem, or IVP. The idea is that you know a starting condition (in this case,
y(0) = 5) as well as a differential equation that tells you how the situation
evolves from there (in this case, dy/dx = −2y), and you can use these two
facts to find out the exact solution with no undetermined constants. For a
second-order differential equation, you effectively need to integrate twice, so
you’ll get two undetermined constants; it follows that you need two pieces
of information. Normally these would be the value of y(0) as well as the
value of y
0
(0) (the derivative when x = 0). We’ll see some examples of this in
Section 30.4.2 below.
Now, the study of differential equations is pretty bloody huge. These
things are hard to solve. In fact, they are basically impossible, at least in
general. Luckily, there are some simple types which can be solved without
too much trouble. We’re going to look at three such types: first-order sep-
arable equations, first-order linear equations, and linear constant-coefficient
equations.
30.2 Separable First-order Differential Equations
A first-order differential equation is called separable if you can put all the
y-stuff on one side (including the dy), and all the x-stuff on the other side
(including the dx). For example, the equation dy/dx = ky can be rearranged
to read
1
ky
dy = dx,
so it is separable. As another example, the equation
dy
dx
+ cos
2
(y) cos(x) = 0
Section 30.2: Separable First-order Differential Equations • 647
can be rearranged (check out the algebra yourself!) into
sec
2
(y) dy = −cos(x) dx.
Now, the way to continue is simply to whack integral signs on both sides and
integrate, then rearrange
∗
to solve for y. In the first example, we get

ln|y| = x + C,
where C is a constant. To solve for y, multiply by k and take exponentials.
We get
|y| = e
kx+kC
= e
kC
e
kx
.
This means that y = ±e
kC
e
kx
. Now, ±e
kC
is just some other nonzero con-
stant, so let’s call it A, giving the solution y = Ae
kx
as we expected. (In
fact, A can even be 0: indeed, if y = 0 for all x, the equation dy/dx = ky is
obviously satisfied since both sides are 0. The reason this didn’t come up in
our solution above is that we divided by y; this assumed that y is never 0.)
As for the second example above, integrating both sides gives

(y) dy =

−cos(x) dx,
which leads to
tan(y) = sin(x) + C,
where C is a constant. This is perfectly good as a solution, but maybe you
are tempted to write
y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + C).
The problem with this is, the inverse tangent function has range (−π/2, π/2)
only. We should be able to add any integer multiple of π to the above ex-
pression and still get a valid solution. Indeed, sec
2
(y) has period π, so the
complete solution should be
y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + C) + nπ,
where C is a constant and n is an integer. Maybe we should just avoid these
issues by leaving it as tan(y) = sin(x) + C. (Again, we divided by cos
2
(y)
right at the beginning of the solution; this caused us to miss the constant
solutions y = nπ/2, where n is an odd number, since that’s when cos
2
(y) = 0.
These solutions arise as C → ±∞ in the above solution.)
How about the same example, but as an IVP (initial value problem)? For
example, consider the IVP

648 • Differential Equations
If you solve the differential equation using the above technique, you end up
with
tan(y) = sin(x) + C
as before. Now put x = 0 and y = π/4 to get
tan(π/4) = sin(0) + C,
which means that C = 1. So we have
tan(y) = sin(x) + 1.
Now if we write
y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + 1) + nπ,
where n is an integer, we can again put x = 0 and y = π/4 to see that
π/4 = tan
−1
(1) + nπ, which means that n = 0. So it’s fair to write the
solution as
y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + 1).
To see this a bit more clearly, imagine that the initial condition is y(0) = 5π/4
instead of y(0) = π/4. Plugging this into the equation tan(y) = sin(x)+C once
again leads to C = 1, since tan(5π/4) = 1. So once more, we find that we have
tan(y) = sin(x) + 1, but it’s a mistake to write this as y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + 1).
Why? When x = 0, we have
y = tan
−1
(sin(0) + 1) = tan
−1
(0) =
π
4
,
which isn’t what we want. So we need to add π to make it work:
y = tan
−1
(sin(x) + 1) + π.
Now the differential equation is satisfied, and y(0) = 5π/4 as we wanted. The
same precaution would be required if the initial condition were y(0) = π/4+nπ
for any nonzero integer n. These things require a delicate touch!
30.3 First-order Linear Equations
Here’s a different type of first-order differential equation:
dy
dx
+ p(x)y = q(x),
where p and q are given functions of x. Such an equation is called a first-order
linear differential equation. It may not be separable, and it may not even look
particularly linear! For example,
dy
dx
+ 6x
2
y = e
−2x
3
sin(x)
doesn’t look very linear, yet this equation is indeed first-order linear. The
reason is that the powers of y and dy/dx are both one. So something like
dy
dx
+ 6x
2
y
3
= e
−2x
3
sin(x)
Section 30.3: First-order Linear Equations • 649
is no good, since y
3
is not first-degree in y. Similarly,
dy
dx
2
+ 6x
2
y = e
−2x
3
sin(x)
is also not linear because the quantity dy/dx is squared.
Let’s go back to the linear equation from above,

This equation isn’t separable. Try it! You won’t be able to get all the y-stuff
on one side and all the x-stuff on the other side. Luckily, there’s a neat trick
that will save the day. Imagine that we multiply both sides by the quantity
e
2x
3
. This certainly makes the right-hand side nicer, as it happens, but there’s
actually a more interesting effect. Let’s see what happens:
e
2x
3
dy
dx
+ 6x
2
e
2x
3
y = sin(x).
Watch carefully, now: there’s nothing up my sleeve as I rewrite this as
d
dx
e
2x
3
y
= sin(x).
How is this possible? Well, all I had to do was mentally reverse the product
rule while differentiating implicitly! (Piece of cake . . . ) To see that this is
correct, all you have to do is differentiate it out. Indeed, by the product rule,
one term is e
2x
3
times the derivative of y, that is, e
2x
3
(dy/dx); the other term
is y times the derivative of e
2x
3
, that is, y × 6x
2
e
2x
3
(using the chain rule).
But that’s exactly what the original left-hand side was! So we do indeed have
d
dx
e
2x
3
y
= sin(x).
Now all we have to do is integrate both sides with respect to x. This cancels
out the derivative on the left-hand side, leaving
e
2x
3
y =
Z
sin(x) dx = −cos(x) + C.
Dividing by e
2x
3
, we get the solution
y = (C −cos(x))e
−2x
3
,
where C is an arbitrary constant. Now try differentiating this and check that

it satisfies the original differential equation!
The key to the previous solution was multiplying by e
2x
3
. When we did
this, we were able to wrap the left-hand side into
d
dx
(stuff), which could be
integrated easily. For this reason, the quantity e
2x
3
is called an integrating
factor. It turns out that for the general first-order linear differential equation
dy
dx
+ p(x)y = q(x),
650 • Differential Equations
a good integrating factor is given by the equation
integrating factor = e
R
p(x) dx
,
where you don’t need a +C in the integral. After you multiply the origi-
nal differential equation by this integrating factor, the left-hand side can be
“factored” as
d
dx
(integrating factor × y) .
We’ll see why in Section 30.3.1 below. In the meantime, let’s rework our above
example
dy
dx
+ 6x
2
y = e
−2x
3
sin(x)
using this more general framework. First, find the integrating factor by taking
the coefficient of y (which is 6x
2
), integrating it and exponentiating the result:
integrating factor = e
R
6x
2
dx
= e
2x
3
.
Now we can proceed as we did in the original solution above: multiply the
differential equation by e
2x
3
and rewrite the left-hand side as
d
dx
(e
2x
3
y), which
is the derivative of the product of the integrating factor and y.
By far the best way to learn this is to do a lot of practice problems until
you get the hang of it. Here are two more examples. First, how would you

, y(0) = 2(e − 1)?
This is an initial value problem (IVP), but we’ll worry about that aspect after
we solve the differential equation. The first thing to do is put it into standard
form, meaning that you need all the y-stuff to be on the left, all the pure
x-stuff on the right, and the coefficient of dy/dx to be 1. In this case, we just
have to subtract e
x
y from both sides, to get
dy
dx
− e
x
y = e
2x
, y(0) = 2(e − 1).
The coefficient of y is −e
x
, so the integrating factor is the exponential of the
integral of that quantity:
integrating factor = e
R
(−e
x
) dx
= e
−e
x
.
(Remember, you don’t need a +C here.) Let’s multiply the above differential
equation by this integrating factor:
e
−e
x
dy
dx
− e
x
e
−e
x
y = e
−e
x
e
2x
.
As always, the left-hand side is the derivative of y times the integrating factor,
so we have
d
dx
(e
−e
x
y) = e
−e
x
e
2x
.
Section 30.3: First-order Linear Equations • 651
It’s not a bad idea to check that this simplification is valid by differentiating
the left-hand side. In any case, integrate both sides of the above equation to
get
e
−e
x
y =
Z
e
−e

e

dx.
To do this integral, set t = e
x
, so that dt = e
x
dx. Note that you have to
write e
2x
as e
x
e
x
to make it work. I leave it to you to do the integral (using

for some constant C. Now all that’s left is to solve the IVP. When x = 0, we
know that y = 2(e − 1), so inserting this into the above equation, we have
2(e − 1) = −e

You can easily solve this to see that C = 2, so the final solution is

Check by differentiating that this satisfies the original differential equation.

tial equation:
tan(x)
dy
dx
= e
sin(x)
− y.
First, put the y-stuff on the left and divide by tan(x) to make the coefficient
of dy/dx equal to 1:
dy
dx
+ cot(x)y = cot(x)e
sin(x)
.
The coefficient of y is cot(x), so
integrating factor = e
R
cot(x) dx
= e
ln(sin(x))
= sin(x).
(Technically we should have written |sin(x)|, but this complicates things un-
necessarily.) Anyway, multiply the differential equation through by sin(x) to
get
sin(x)
dy
dx
+ cos(x)y = cos(x)e
sin(x)
,
since sin(x) cot(x) = cos(x). Now the left-hand side factors into the derivative
of y times the integrating factor (check it):
d
dx
(y sin(x)) = cos(x)e
sin(x)
.
Iqntegrate both sides (use a substitution to simplify the right-hand side):
y sin(x) =
Z
cos(x)e
sin(x)
dx = e
sin(x)
+ C.
652 • Differential Equations
Finally, divide through by sin(x) to get
y = csc(x)e
sin(x)
+ C csc(x),
and we have found the solution to our differential equation.
In summary, here’s the method for dealing with first-order linear differen-

tial equations:
• Put the stuff involving y on the left-hand side and the stuff involving x
on the right-hand side, then divide through by the coefficient of dy/dx
to get the equation into the standard form
dy
dx
+ p(x)y = q(x).
• Multiply through by the integrating factor, which we’ll call f (x), given
by
integrating factor f(x) = e
R
p(x) dx
where no +C is needed in the integral in the exponent.
• The left-hand side becomes
d
dx
(f(x)y), where f (x) is the integrating
factor. Rewrite the equation with this new left-hand side.
• Integrate both sides; this time you must put a +C on the right-hand
side.
• Divide by the integrating factor to solve for y.
Practice this and you won’t regret it!
30.3.1 Why the integrating factor works
Why is the weird expression e
R
p(x) dx
a good integrating factor? Well, suppose

we take our general equation

+ p(x)y = q(x)
and multiply it by the integrating factor e
R
p(x) dx
. We get
e

p(x) dx

dx
+ e
R
p(x) dx
p(x)y = stuff in x.
I’m really focusing on the left-hand side for the moment, so I just wrote “stuff
in x” on the right. Now, we have claimed that we can rewrite the left-hand
side so that the above equation becomes
d
dx
e
R
p(x) dx
y
= stuff in x;
this is much easier to deal with. To prove our claim, use the product rule on
the left-hand side to write it as
e
R
p(x) dx
dy
dx
+
d
dx
e
R
p(x) dx
y.
Section 30.4: Constant-coefficient Differential Equations • 653
That’s almost what we need; we just have to use the chain rule to write
d
dx
e
R
p(x) dx
=
d
dx
Z
p(x) dx
× e
R
p(x) dx
= p(x)e
R
p(x) dx
.
Note that
d
dx
R
p(x) dx = p(x), since
R
p(x) dx (without the +C) is an an-
tiderivative of p. Now if you assemble all the pieces from above, you can see
that
e
R
p(x) dx
dy
dx
+ e
R
p(x) dx
p(x)y =
d
dx
e
R
p(x) dx
y
after all. Our method works!
30.4 Constant-coefficient Differential Equations
Now it’s time to look at linear differential equations with constant coefficients.
These equations look something like this:

n
d

y
dx
n
+ ··· + a

d

y
dx
2
+ a

dy
dx
+ a

y = f (x).
Here f is some function of x only, and a
n
, . . . , a
1
, a
0
are just plain old constant
real numbers. Notice that the left-hand side of the above equation looks a
bit like a polynomial in y, except that instead of taking powers of y, we are
taking derivatives.
Let’s look at a first-order example. Consider the differential equation

This is a first-order constant-coefficient linear equation. In fact, you can solve
it by means of the techniques described in the previous section on first-order

which is actually a bit of a pain in this case (try it and see!). We’ll soon look

at another method to deal with such equations; in fact, we’ll solve the above

654 • Differential Equations
We’ll see how to solve this in Section 30.4.6 below. First, we need to look at
some general ideas for solving both first- and second-order constant-coefficient
linear equations.
∗
Let’s start by considering a simple case: assume there’s no stuff in x on
the right-hand side. Two such examples are
dy
dx
− 3y = 0 and
d
2
y
dx
2
−
dy
dx
+ 20y = 0.
Such equations are called homogeneous. Let’s look at how to solve first-order
(like the left-hand example above) and second-order (like the right-hand one)
homogeneous equations.
30.4.1 Solving first-order homogeneous equations
This is pretty easy. The solution to
dy
dx
+ ay = 0
is just y = Ae
−ax
. (In fact, this equation is simply dy/dx = ky with k = −a;
see Sections 30.1 and 30.2 above.) For example, given the differential equation
dy
dx
− 3y = 0,
you can simply write down the solution y = Ae
3x
, where A is some constant.
30.4.2 Solving second-order homogeneous equations
This case is a little more involved. We need to solve
a
d
2
y
dx
2
+ b
dy
dx
+ cy = 0.
Although it might seem a little strange, the easiest way to do this is to pluck a
quadratic equation seemingly out of thin air. The quadratic equation, called
the characteristic quadratic equation, is at
2
+bt+c = 0. For example, consider
PSfrag

the following three differential equations:
(a) y
00
− y
0
− 20y = 0 (b) y
00
+ 6y
0
+ 9y = 0 (c) y
00
− 2y
0
+ 5y = 0.
Notice that we have written y
0
instead of dy/dx and y
00
instead of d
2
y/dx
2
. In
any case, the characteristic quadratic equations of these three examples are
t
2
− t − 20 = 0, t
2
+ 6t + 9 = 0, and t
2
− 2t + 5 = 0, respectively.
The next thing is to find the roots of the characteristic quadratic. There
are three possibilities, depending on whether there are two real roots, one
(double) real root or two complex roots. Let’s summarize the whole method,
then solve the above three examples.
∗
These ideas also work for higher-order equations, but we will concentrate on first- and
second-order equations in this book.
Section 30.4.3: Why the characteristic quadratic method works • 655
How to solve the homogeneous equation ay
00
+ by
0
+ cy = 0:
1. Write down the characteristic quadratic equation at
2
+ bt + c = 0 and
solve it for t.
2. If there are two different real roots α and β, the solution is
y = Ae
αx
+ Be
βx
.
3. If there is only one (double) real root α, the solution is
y = Ae
αx
+ Bxe
αx
.
4. If there are two complex roots, they will be conjugate to each other.
That is, they must be of the form α ± iβ. The solution is
y = e
αx
(A cos(βx) + B sin(βx)).
In all three cases (2, 3 and 4), A and B are undetermined constants.
So, for example (a) above, we saw that the characteristic quadratic equa-
tion is t
2
− t − 20 = 0. If you factor the quadratic as (t + 4)(t − 5), it’s clear
that the solutions to the equation are t = −4 and t = 5. By step 2 above, we
see that the solution to our equation y
00
− y
0
− 20y = 0 is given by
y = Ae
−4x
+ Be
5x
,
for some constants A and B.
The characteristic quadratic equation t
2
+6t+9 = 0 in example (b) reduces
to (t + 3)
2
= 0, so the only solution is t = −3. By step 3 above, the solution
to the homogeneous equation y
00
+ 6y
0
+ 9 = 0 is
y = Ae
−3x
+ Bxe
−3x
.
Finally, if we use the quadratic formula to solve the characteristic quadratic
equation t
2
−2t+5 = 0 of example (c), we get t = 1 ±2i. (Try it and see!) So,

you put y = e
αx
in the equation ay

+ by
0
+ cy = 0. We have y
0
= αe
αx
and
y
00
= α
2
e
αx
, so
ay
00
+ by
0
+ cy = aα

e
αx
+ bαe
αx
+ ce
αx
= (aα
2
+ bα + c)e
αx
.
So, if α is a root of the characteristic quadratic at
2
+ bt + c, then we have
aα
2
+ bα + c = 0. The above equation now implies that ay
00
+ by
0
+ cy = 0—
that is, y = e
αx
solves our differential equation! Also, any constant multiple
