In Problems 11–18, find a general solution to the differential equation

y''(θ)+y(θ)=sec3θ.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The general solution is yt=c1cost+c2sint-12sec2θcosθ+tanθsinθ.

Step by step solution

01

Find a particular solution

The homogenous equation is r2+1=0.

Two independent solutions are r=±i.

Theny1=cosθ,v2=sinθ

yht=c1cosθ+c2sinθ

The particular solution isyp=y1(θ)cosθ+y2(θ)sinθ.

02

Evaluate v1  and  v2

Hereyp=y1θcosθ+y2θsinθ

Herea=1 andf=sec3θ

And referring to (9)yt=c1eαtcosβtc2eαtsinβt and solve the system by derivative then;

y1'cosθ+y2'sinθ=0-y1'sinθ+y2cosθ=fa-y1'sinθ+y2cosθ=sec3θ

03

Find v1' and v1

v1'=-fθv2θav1θv'2θ-v'1θv2θ=-sec3θ.sinθcos2θ+sin2θ=-sec3θ.sint

Now integrating this;

v1t=-sec3θ.sintdt=-12sec2θ+C

04

Determine v2' and v2

v2'=-fθv2θav1θv'2θ-v'1θv2θ=-sec3θ.cosθcos2θ+sin2θ=sec2θ

Integrate this.

y2t=sec2θdt=tanθ+C

Thus, the particular solution is:

yp=-12x2+Ccosθ+tanθ+Csinθyp=-12sec2θcosθ+tanθsinθ

Therefore, the general solution is:

y(t)=yh(t)+yp(t)y(t)=c1cost+c2sint-(12sec2θ)cosθ+(tanθ)sinθ
