    aSolve $(1 + y^2)dx = (\tan^{-1}y - x)dy$ using Leibnitz linear method.
    How to answer
    • Rearrange equation to standard linear form $\frac{dx}{dy} + \frac{1}{1+y^2}x = \frac{\tan^{-1}y}{1+y^2}$
    • Compute integrating factor: $I.F. = e^{\int \frac{1}{1+y^2}dy} = e^{\tan^{-1}y}$
    • Set up general solution: $x \cdot e^{\tan^{-1}y} = \int \frac{\tan^{-1}y}{1+y^2} e^{\tan^{-1}y} dy + C$
    • Evaluate integral using substitution $t = \tan^{-1}y$, yielding $x e^{\tan^{-1}y} = (\tan^{-1}y - 1)e^{\tan^{-1}y} + C$

    bSolve $(e^y + 1)\cos x dx + e^y \sin x dy = 0$.
    How to answer
    • Separate the variables: $\frac{\cos x}{\sin x} dx + \frac{e^y}{e^y + 1} dy = 0$
    • Integrate both terms: $\int \cot x dx + \int \frac{e^y}{e^y + 1} dy = C_1$
    • Obtain $\ln|\sin x| + \ln(e^y + 1) = \ln C$
    • Simplify to $(e^y + 1)\sin x = C$

    aSolve $(D^2 - 4D + 3)y = \cos 2x$.
    How to answer
    • Write auxiliary equation: $m^2 - 4m + 3 = 0 \implies m = 1, 3$
    • Complementary function: $y_c = c_1 e^x + c_2 e^{3x}$
    • Find particular integral: $y_p = \frac{1}{D^2 - 4D + 3}\cos 2x = \frac{1}{-4 - 4D + 3}\cos 2x = \frac{1}{-(4D+1)}\cos 2x$
    • Multiply numerator and denominator by $(4D-1)$ and replace $D^2$ with $-4$: $y_p = -\frac{4D-1}{16D^2-1}\cos 2x = \frac{-8\sin 2x - \cos 2x}{65}$
    • Write complete solution: $y = y_c + y_p$

    bShow that $J_{\frac{1}{2}}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi x}} \sin x$.

    • State definition: $J_n(x) = \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^r}{r! \Gamma(n+r+1)} \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{n+2r}$
    • Substitute $n = 1/2$: $J_{1/2}(x) = \sqrt{\frac{x}{2}} \sum_{r=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^r}{r! \Gamma(r + 3/2)} \left(\frac{x}{2}\right)^{2r}$
    • Expand terms for $r = 0, 1, 2, \dots$ using $\Gamma(1/2) = \sqrt{\pi}$, $\Gamma(3/2) = \frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\pi}$, etc.
    • Factor out $\sqrt{\frac{2}{\pi x}}$ to identify the Taylor series of $\sin x$

    Solve $(D^2 + 9)y = \tan 3x$ by using method of variation of parameters.
    How to answer
    • Find complementary function: $m^2 + 9 = 0 \implies m = \pm 3i$, so $y_c = c_1 \cos 3x + c_2 \sin 3x$
    • Identify $y_1 = \cos 3x$, $y_2 = \sin 3x$, and $R(x) = \tan 3x$

    • Compute $u = -\int \frac{\sin 3x \tan 3x}{3} dx$ and $v = \int \frac{\cos 3x \tan 3x}{3} dx$
    • Integrate to obtain $u$ and $v$, then write total solution $y = y_c + u y_1 + v y_2$

    • Compute partial derivatives: $f_x=0$, $f_y=p^2+q^2$, $f_z=-q$, $f_p=2py$, $f_q=2qy-z$
    • Set up Charpit's auxiliary equations: $\frac{dp}{-pq} = \frac{dq}{(p^2+q^2) - q^2} = \frac{dq}{p^2}$
    • Obtain relation between $p$ and $q$, e.g., $p dp + q dq = 0 \implies p^2 + q^2 = a^2$

    • Write complementary function: $Z_c = \phi_1(y + x) + \phi_2(y - 5x)$
    • Find particular integral: replace $D^2 \to -2^2 = -4$, $DD' \to -(2)(3) = -6$, $D'^2 \to -3^2 = -9$
    • Denominator value: $\phi(-4, -6, -9) = -4 + 4(-6) - 5(-9) = -4 - 24 + 45 = 17$
    • Obtain $Z_p = \frac{1}{17} \sin(2x + 3y)$
    • Combine to give $Z = Z_c + Z_p$

    How to answer
    • Identify $u = \frac{1}{2}\ln(x^2 + y^2)$ and $v = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{px}{y}\right)$

    • Compute partial derivatives of $v$: $\frac{\partial v}{\partial x} = \frac{py}{y^2 + p^2 x^2}$, $\frac{\partial v}{\partial y} = \frac{-px}{y^2 + p^2 x^2}$
    • Apply Cauchy-Riemann equation $\frac{\partial u}{\partial x} = \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}$: $\frac{x}{x^2+y^2} = \frac{-px}{y^2 + p^2 x^2}$

    • Verify Laplace's equation: $u_{xx} + u_{yy} = 0$, hence $u$ is harmonic
    • Use CR equations $dv = \frac{\partial v}{\partial x}dx + \frac{\partial v}{\partial y}dy = -\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}dx + \frac{\partial u}{\partial x}dy$
    • Substitute: $dv = e^x \sin y dx + e^x \cos y dy$
