The particular solution is yp(x)=(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)et.

Step by step solution

01

Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution of a given differential equation.

The given differential equation is in the form of;

ax''+bx'+cx=ert

According to the method of undetermined coefficients, to find a particular solution to the differential equation:

ay''(x)+by'(x)+cy(x)=Ctmert

Where m is a non-negative integer, use the form

yp(x)=ts(Amtm+...+A1t+A0)ert

  1. s = 0 if r is not a root of the associated auxiliary equation;
  2. s = 1 if r is a simple root of the associated auxiliary equation;
  3. s = 2 if r is a double root of the associated auxiliary equation.
02

Now, write the auxiliary equation of the above differential equation

The given differential equation is,

y''+3y'-7y=t4et            ......(1)

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

y''+3y'-7y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

r2+3r-7=0

03

Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

r2+3r-7=0r=-3±32-4(1)(-7)2(3)r=-3±376

The roots of the auxiliary equation are;

r1=-3+376,      r2=-3-376

The complementary solution of the given equation is;

yc=c1e-3+376t+c2e-3-376t

04

Final conclusion.

To find a particular solution to the differential equation

ay''(x)+by'(x)+cy(x)=Ctmert

Compare with the given differential equation,

y''+3y'-7y=t4et

Condition satisfied,

M=4, s = 0 if is not a root of the associated auxiliary equation;

Therefore, the particular solution of the equation,

yp(x)=t0(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)etyp(x)=(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)et

Swinging Door. The motion of a swinging door with an adjustment screw that controls the amount of friction on the hinges is governed by the initial value problem

''+'+=0;   θ(0)=θ0,   θ'(0)=v0,

whereθ is the angle that the door is open,I is the moment of inertia of the door about its hinges,b>0 is a damping constant that varies with the amount of friction on the door,k>0 is the spring constant associated with the swinging door,θ0 is the initial angle that the door is opened, andv0 is the initial angular velocity imparted to the door (see figure). If Iandk are fixed, determine for which values ofb the door will not continually swing back and forth when closing.
