Time: 18 minutes Marks: 10

1. Indicate all working clearly.

2. Marks will be deducted for poor presentation of solutions.

Answer the following questions

1. Use the Laplace transform to solve the following system of differential equations

for the given initial conditions

ẍ + y = 0,

ẍ − ẏ = −2et ,

x(0) = 0, ẋ(0) = −2, y(0) = 0. [6]

2. Solve the exact differential equation

ex dx + (ey − 1) dy = 0.
