PART I: Multiple choice. Indicate your choice very clearly. There is only one correct
answer in each multiple-choice problem. Circle the letter (a,b,c,d or e) corresponding to your
choice. Ambiguous answers will be marked as wrong.
1. (4 pts.) Let y(x) be the unique solution to the initial value problem
½ 0
2
y = (x − 2) ey ,
y(0) = 1.
Then, the value of the second derivative of y(x) evaluated at x = 0 is:
(Hint: Do not try to solve the D.E.)
(a) y 00 (0) = 1 + 4 e2
(b) y 00 (0) = −3 e
(c) y 00 (0) = 2 + 6 e
(d) y 00 (0) = 4 e + 3 e2
→ (e) y 00 (0) = e + 8 e2
Solution. We have

y 00 = ey + (x − 2) (2 y y 0 ) ey = ey + (x − 2) (2 y (x − 2) ey ) ey

2
= ey + (x − 2)2 (2 y e2 y )
and thus, since y(0) = 1,
y 00 (0) = e1 + (−2)2 (2 e2 ) = e + 8 e2 .

compute y2 (1).

v = 1. Therefore, y = v −1/3 = (1)−1/3 = 1. Thus, y = 1 is the unique solution of the IVP.
