The particular solution isyp(x)=113t2+8169te-3t

Step by step solution

01

Firstly, write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation.

The differential equation is,

4y''+11y'-3y=-2te-3t               (1)

Write the homogeneous differential equation of the equation (1),

4y''+11y'-3y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

4m2+11m-3=0

02

Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

4m2+11m-3=04m2+12m-m-3=04m(m+3)-1(m+3)=0(m+3)(4m-1)=0

The roots of the auxiliary equation are,

m1=-3,   &   m2=14

The complementary solution of the given equation is,

yc(x)=c1e-3t+c2et4

03

Final conclusion, find a particular solution to the differential equation

According to the method of undetermined coefficients, assume the particular solution of equation (1),

yp(x)=(At2+Bt)e-3t                    (2)

Now find the derivative of the above equation,

yp'(x)=(At2+Bt)e-3t(-3)+(2At+B)e-3typ'(x)=(-3At2-3Bt+2At+B)e-3typ''(x)=(-6At-3B+2A)e-3t+(-3At2-3Bt+2At+B)e-3t(-3)yp''(x)=(9At2-12At+9Bt+2A-6B)e-3t

From the equation (1), Substitute the value of yp'',  yp'andyp in the equation (1),

4yp''+11yp'-3yp=-2te-3t4(9At2-12At+9Bt+2A-6B)e-3t+11(-3At2-3Bt+2At+B)e-3t-3(At2+Bt)e-3t=-2te-3t(-26At)e-3t+(8A-13B)e-3t=-2te-3t

04

Final conclusion.

Comparing all coefficients of the above equation;

-26A=-2A=1138A-13B=0                              (3)

Substitute the value of A in the equation (3),

8113-13B=0B=8169

Therefore, the particular solution of equation (1),

yp(x)=(113t2+8169t)e-3t
