Solve with the method of separation of variables the dierential equation

Solution
Separable equation:

xcos xdx = xsinx

sinxdx = xsinx + cos x + D.
u = x, v
= cos x
u
= 1, v = sinx
Thus the solution is given implicitly by
ln|y| + y
2
= xsin x + cos x + A, A = D C.
As y(0) = 1 it follows
ln1 + 1 = 0 + 1 + A, A = 0
and so y is given by
ln|y| + y
2
= xsin x + cos x.

Problem 4 (7.3/35)
A tank contains 1 000 l of brine with 15 kg of dissolved salt. Pure water enters the tank at a rate of 10
l/min. The solution is kept thoroughly mixed (so the salt concentration is uniform) and drains the tank
at the same rate of 10 l/min.
a) How much salt is in the tank after t minutes ?
b) How long it takes to have in the tank 10 kg of salt ?
Solution
a) Set y(t) the quantity of salt at time t. Then, as y
= 0.01y.
Solution is easy (exponential law):
dy
dt
= 0.1y,
dy
y
= 0.01dt, ln|y| = 0.01t + C, y(t) = Ae
0.01t
.
As y(0) = 15 (given of the problem) it follows A = 15 and the solution is
y(t) = 15e
0.01t
.
b) Find t such that y(t) = 10. Solve t:

= 10, 0.01t = ln

Problem 5 (7.5/8)
A sh population of 1 000 is introduced in a lake which carrying capacity is 10 000. It has been observed
that the population tripled in the rst two years.
a) Assuming that the population size satises the logistic equation nd the constants p

the population size formula p(t).
b) How long will it take for the population to increase to 8 000?
