Answer on Question #42602– Math – Differential Calculus | Equation
Question:
Using laplace transforms solve the following ordinary differential equation
dt2d2y+3dtdy+2y=2(t2+t+1);y(0)=2,y′(0)=0
Solution:
Let Y(s)=L[y(t)](s) . Instead of solving directly for y(t) , we derive a new equation for Y(s) . Once we find Y(s) , we inverse transform to determine y(t) .
The first step is to take the Laplace transform of both sides of the original differential equation. We have
L[y′′+3y′+2y](s)=L[2(t2+t+1)](s)
If we look at the left-hand side, we have
L[y′′+3y′+2y](s)=L[y′′](s)+3L[y′](s)+2L[y](s)
Now use the formulas for the L[y′′] , L[y′] and L[y′] :
L[y′]=sL[y]−y(0)=sY(s)−1;L[y′′]=s2L[y]−sy(0)−y′(0)=s2Y(s)−s−2;
Hence, we have
L[y′′+3y′+2y](s)=s2Y(s)−s−2+3(sY(s)−1)+2Y(s).
If we look at the right-hand side, we have
L[2(t2+t+1)](s)=2L[t2](s)+2L[t](s)+2L[1](s)
Now use the formulas for the L[t2] , L[t] and L[1] :
L[t2]=s32,L[t]=s21,L[1]=s1.
The Laplace-transformed differential equation is
s2Y(s)−s−2+3(sY(s)−1)+2Y(s)=s34+s22+s2(s2+3s+2)Y(s)=s+5+s34+s22+s2
Or
(s2+3s+2)Y(s)=s3(s+1)(s3+4s2−2s+4)
This is a linear algebraic equation for Y(s)! We have converted a differential equation into a algebraic equation! Solving for Y(s), we have
Y(s)=s3(s2+3s+2)(s+1)(s3+4s2−2s+4)
We can simplify this expression using the method of partial fractions:
Y(s)=s32−s22−s+22+s3(for s=−1)
Recall the inverse transforms:
L−1[s31](t)=2t21,L−1[s21](t)=t,L−1[s+21](t)=e−2t,L−1[s1](t)=1
Using linearity of the inverse transform, we have
y(t)=L−1[s32−s22−s+22+s3]=2∗21t2−2∗t−e−2t+3∗1==t2−2t−e−2t+3;
Answer. y(t)=t2−2t−e−2t+3;
