  • Find a solution to  using variation of parameters.
  • Find the solution to the differential equation in problem 6, this time using the method of undetermined coefficients.
  • A baked cake is taken out of a 350o oven and placed on a table in a 70oF room. It cools according to Newton’s law of cooling. Ten minutes later the temperature is 315oF.  What is the temperature of the cake after 30 minutes?
  • Kirchhoff’s voltage law states that the sum of the voltage drops across a resistor, , an inductor, , and a capacitor,  in an electrical circuit must be the same as the voltage source, , applied to that  circuit. Applying the additional fact that the current, , is related to the charge,  , by the relationship ,  the resulting ODE model for the charge in a circuit is:

If a source is connected to an RLC circuit with a  henry inductor, L,  a 1 ohm resistor, R , and a   farad capacitor, C, find the charge   given that  and .
