THE CALCULUS CRUSADERS

Differential Equations: Poisoned Bird Questions

a) Oh no! Jamie’s pet duck ate the poisonous mushroom! Luckily, Bench knows what type of mushroom it is. The Fungus Differentius has a very dangerous toxin. When eaten, it can cause mutations. (Don’t you think the duck has had enough torture?) The rate at which the poison is spreading throughout the duck is defined as dp/dt. Sketch a slope field for at the points indicated.

b) Use Euler’s Method to approximate the solution of dp/dt with the initial condition of with 5 steps of size 0.2.

c) Find a particular solution to dp/dt with the initial condition .

PART A

Differential Equations: Mushroom Scene

Page 5: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

If we take a coordinate that’s given on the graph and plug the coordinate’s x- and y-values into the differential equation, we obtain the slope at that point

Page 6: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Example:

Page 7: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

By creating a display of lines (the slope field), where each line indicates the slope at that point, we can see the parent functionThat is, the solution

of a derivative via slope fields is the parent function

Page 8: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Therefore, by shortening the distance between the points, a smoother line is generated, making the function we’ve created further resemble the parent function

Allow ∆x to be infinitesimally small, we have the parent function!

Page 9: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

The values on the grid below correspond to the position of the coordinates on the graph:The value in cell A1 represents the

coordinates (-4, 4) on the graph

PART B

Page 11: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Using Euler’s Method, we start at the initial coordinates,

In this case, at (3, 3.0642)

Note that all values in the graphs above are rounded to four decimal places for simplicity

Page 12: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

By plugging the P0 coordinates into the differential equation, y’, we obtain y’ at P0

In this case, we plugged (3, 3.0642) into to obtain dp/dt = 29.4975

Page 13: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

We know the definition of a slope as the rise (the change in the dependent variable) over the run (the change in the independent variable)

By multiplying y’ (the slope) by ∆x (the run), we obtain ∆y (the rise)

Page 14: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

We’re given that ∆x = 0.2 Adding ∆y to y0, we obtain y1

We repeat this process until we reach the number of desired steps

Page 15: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Note that all values in the table above are given in their decimal form, rounded to four decimal places for simplicity

PART C

Differential Equations: Mushroom Scene

Page 17: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

We can separate the variables, that is, in this case, antidifferentiating t on one side with respect to dt and p on one side with respect to dp

Separating the variables is analogous to antidifferentiating after solving for ∆y when given the definition of a slope

Page 18: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Integration by parts is an antidifferentiation technique we can use when we have to antidifferentiate two factors

We’re undoing the product rule

Formula for integration by parts:

L I A T EOGARITHMIC

NVERSE

TRIGONOMETRIC

LGEBRAIC

RIGONMETRIC

XPONENTIAL

LIATE is a mnemonic used to determine which of the factors should be selected for f. LIATE tells us the order of preference for f.

Page 20: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Bench says: I have discovered a rule for differentiating products involving et without using the whole process of integration by parts or LIATE! MWAHAHA!

Page 21: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

The power rule says that the derivative of any variable to an exponent can be found by multiplying the term by the exponent and decrease the exponent by 1

Page 22: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

BENCH’S RULE•Differentiate the algebraic factor until we get a constant•Note that the signs alternate: minus, plus, minus, plus, etc.• In this case: t2 – 2t + 2

Page 23: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

We’re given the initial value We can use this fact to determine C* Remember, C is a constant!

Note: Since we’re antidifferentiating, we’d expect C’s on both

sides Let’s group the C’s to one side of the equation for simplicity

Page 24: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Putting it all together, we now have a general solution for p

Page 25: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

Bench:Now that I know how the poison reacts in

the bird, I can cure it.

Jamie:Hurry up! Save my bird!

Page 26: Jamie's Bird Got Poisoned

I think the bird is happy and healthy now…

Was I a Cockatoo at

the beginning?
