Short Answer

Expert verified

The general solution to the given differential equation is;

y=c1x3cos2lnx+c2x3sin2lnx

Step by step solution

01

Write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation

The given differential equation is,

y''=5x-1y'-13x-2yy''-5x-1y'+13x-2y=0x2y''-5xy'+13y=0.......1

Let,

x=etdx=etdtdtdx=e-ty'=dydx=dydte-ty''=d2ydx2=e-tdydte-t-1+d2ydt2e-t=e-2td2ydt2-dydt

Substitute the value of x,y'and y''in the equation (1),

x2y''-5xy'+13y=0e2te-2td2ydt2-dydt-5etdydte-t+13y=0d2ydt2-dydt-5dydt+13y=0y''-6y'+13y=0......2

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,m2-6m+13=0.

02

Find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

m2-6m+13=0m=6±36-522m=6±-162m=3±2i

The roots of the auxiliary equation are,m1=3+2i,&m2=3-2i.

03

Conclusion, the general solution

Therefore, the general solution is y=c1e3tcos2t+c2e3tsin2t.

Now substitute t=lnxin the above equation,

y=c1x3cos2lnx+c2x3sin2lnx

Thus, the general solution to the given differential equation is;

y=c1x3cos2lnx+c2x3sin2lnx
