TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)
TypeApplied/modelling contexts
DifficultyChallenging +1.8 This is a challenging Further Maths question requiring recognition of a non-standard integrating factor form, careful algebraic manipulation with the factor (2t-t²)^(-1), and integration involving inverse trigonometric functions. The multi-step nature (deriving the solution, then applying boundary conditions) and the need to work with the given answer format elevate it above typical A-level questions, though the integrating factor method itself is standard once the form is identified.
Spec4.10c Integrating factor: first order equations

8 A surge in the current, \(I\) units, through an electrical component at a time, \(t\) seconds, is to be modelled. The surge starts when \(t = 0\) and there is initially no current through the component. When the current has surged for 1 second it is measured as being 5 units. While the surge is occurring, \(I\) is modelled by the following differential equation. \(\left( 2 t - t ^ { 2 } \right) \frac { d l } { d t } = \left( 2 t - t ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } - 2 ( t - 1 ) l\)
  1. By using an integrating factor show that, according to the model, while the surge is occurring, \(I\) is given by \(\mathrm { I } = \left( 2 \mathrm { t } - \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 } \right) \left( \sin ^ { - 1 } ( \mathrm { t } - 1 ) + 5 \right)\). The surge lasts until there is again no current through the component.
  2. Determine the length of time that the surge lasts according to the model.
  3. Determine, according to the model, the rate of increase of the current at the start of the surge. Give your answer in an exact form.

8 A surge in the current, $I$ units, through an electrical component at a time, $t$ seconds, is to be modelled. The surge starts when $t = 0$ and there is initially no current through the component. When the current has surged for 1 second it is measured as being 5 units. While the surge is occurring, $I$ is modelled by the following differential equation.\\
$\left( 2 t - t ^ { 2 } \right) \frac { d l } { d t } = \left( 2 t - t ^ { 2 } \right) ^ { \frac { 3 } { 2 } } - 2 ( t - 1 ) l$
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item By using an integrating factor show that, according to the model, while the surge is occurring, $I$ is given by $\mathrm { I } = \left( 2 \mathrm { t } - \mathrm { t } ^ { 2 } \right) \left( \sin ^ { - 1 } ( \mathrm { t } - 1 ) + 5 \right)$.

The surge lasts until there is again no current through the component.
\item Determine the length of time that the surge lasts according to the model.
\item Determine, according to the model, the rate of increase of the current at the start of the surge. Give your answer in an exact form.
\end{enumerate}
