Q11-2P

Page 1

As in Problem 1, solve

2∂2z∂x2+∂2z∂x∂y-10∂2z∂y2=0

by making the change of variables u=5x-2y,v=2x+y.

Q11-3P

Page 1

Suppose that w=f(x,y)satisfies

∂2w∂x2-∂2w∂x2=1.

Put x=u+v,y=u-v, and show that w satisfies ∂2w∂u∂v=1. Hence solve the equation.

Q11-4P

Page 1

Verify the chain rule formulas

∂F∂x=∂F∂r∂r∂x+∂F∂θ∂θ∂x,

and similar formulas for

∂F∂y,∂F∂r,∂F∂θ,

using differentials. For example, write

dF=∂F∂rdr+∂F∂θdθ

and substitute fordrand dθ:

dr=∂r∂xdx+∂r∂ydy(and similarly dθ).

Collect coefficients of dx and dy; these are the values of ∂F∂x and ∂F∂y.

Solve equations (11.11) to get equations (11.12).

Q11-6P

Reduce the equation

x2d2ydx2+2xdydx-5y=0

to a differential equation with constant coefficients in d2ydz2,dydz, and y by the change of variable x=ex. (See Chapter 8, Section 7d.)

Use equation (1.8) to find the fraction that are equivalent to following repeating decimals.

Q11P

Page 41

Use Maclaurin series to evaluate each of the following. Although you could do them by computer, you can probably do them in your head faster than you can type them into the computer. So use these to practice quick and skillful use of basic series to make simple calculations.

limx→0sin22xx2 .

Q11P

Page 1

Find out whether infinity is a regular point, an essential singularity, or a pole (and if a pole, of what order) for each of the following functions. Find the residue of each function at infinity,tan1z

Q11P

Question: Show that the Maclaurin series for sin x converges to sin x . Hint: If f (x)= sinf(n+1)(X)=±sinxor±cosx, and so f(n+1)(x)≤1

for all x and all n. Letn→∞in (14.2).
