Sec. 3.2, problems 1, 3, 5, 7, 19. In problem 7, both tanks are initially full, so they both start overflowing immediately. We are not told the amount of salt that is initially in the first tank, so just say the initial amount is A pounds.

Sec. 5.4, problems 11, 12, 29a. On 29a, use the directions for 11 and 12.
One more problem: dx/dt = x/2, dy/dt = -2y. Use the directions for 11 and 12.
For solutions to 12 and the extra problem, see Hints and answers.
Sec. 12.2, problems 1, 3, 5, 13, 15. For 1, 3, and 5, classify the origin as an attracting or repelling node, attracting or repelling spiral, or saddle.

Assigned Apr 26

Sec. 12.3, problems 9, 11, 21. Ignore the directions. Draw the nullclines, find the equilibria, draw the vector field on the nullclines and show typical vectors in the regions determined by the nullclines, try to sketch a few typical solution curves. Then use linearization to determine the types of the equilibria, and use this information to improve the phase portraits. For answers see Hints and answers.
