Worksheet 1.

3: Algebraically homogeneous (Reduce to


separable)
Answer all the questions in your own time. Then compare your answers to the memo on
myTUTor.
✍ Show all steps and use the correct mathematical notation. Any incorrect notation in an
assessment will be penalized.

✍ Some answers are included here to assist you with your calculations.

✍ All ODE's can be reduced to separable by using a suitable substitution.

Theory
1. Are the following functions homogeneous? Justify your answer using the definition. Include the
degree of homogeneity in your answer.

1.1 f ( x; y ) = x 6 − 2 x 2 y 4 1.2 u ( x; t ) = x 2 + tx 2
