The coordinates \((x, y)\) of a general point on a curve satisfy the differential equation \(x \frac{dy}{dx} = (2 - x^2)y\).

The curve passes through the point \((1, 1)\). Find the equation of the curve, obtaining an expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).

The variables x and y satisfy the differential equation

\((x+1) \frac{dy}{dx} = y(x+2),\)

and it is given that \(y = 2\) when \(x = 1\). Solve the differential equation and obtain an expression for \(y\) in terms of \(x\).

The variables x and y satisfy the differential equation

\(x \frac{dy}{dx} = y(1 - 2x^2)\),

and it is given that \(y = 2\) when \(x = 1\). Solve the differential equation and obtain an expression for y in terms of x in a form not involving logarithms.

The variables x and t satisfy the differential equation

\(t \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{k - x^3}{2x^2}\),

for \(t > 0\), where \(k\) is a constant. When \(t = 1, x = 1\) and when \(t = 4, x = 2\).

(i) Solve the differential equation, finding the value of \(k\) and obtaining an expression for \(x\) in terms of \(t\). [9]

(ii) State what happens to the value of \(x\) as \(t\) becomes large. [1]
