Answer on Question # 82704 - Math - Differential Equations
Question 1.
y(4)+2y(3)−3y′′=3e2x+4sinx
Answer.
y(x)=c1e−3x+c2ex+c3x+c4+203e2x+54sinx+52cosx,
where c1,c2,c3,c4∈R.
Problem solving steps. 1) First, solve the corresponding homogeneous equation
y(4)+2y(3)−3y′′=0:
characteristic equation λ4+2λ3−3λ2=0, λ1=−3, λ2=1, λ3=λ4=0;
then solutions are y0(x)=c1e−3x+c2ex+c3x+c4, where c1,c2,c3,c4∈R.
2) Next, set up a trial function (partial solution) yp(x)=ae2x+bsinx+ccosx by copying the structure of RHS of the nonhomogeneous equation and substitute into the nonhomogeneous equation:
20ae2x+(4b+2c)sinx+(4c−2b)cosx=3e2x+4sinx,a=203,b=54,c=52,yp(x)=203e2x+54sinx+52cosx.
3) The general solutions to the nonhomogeneous equation are y(x)=y0(x)+yp(x).
