Short Answer

Expert verified

The general solution of the given differential equation isy=c1e-2x+c2e-3x+ex+x2.

Step by step solution

01

Write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation.

The differential equation is,

y''+5y'+6y=6x2+10x+2+12ex                     (1)

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

y''+5y'+6y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

m2+5m+6=0

02

Now find the complementary solution of the given equation is

Solve the auxiliary equation,

m2+5m+6=0m2+3m+2m+6=0m(m+3)+2(m+3)=0(m+2)(m+3)=0

The roots of the auxiliary equation are,

m1=-2,   &   m2=-3

The complementary solution of the given equation is,

yc=c1e-2x+c2e-3x

03

Use the given particular solution to find a general solution for the equation.

The given particular solution,

yp(x)=ex+x2

Therefore, the general solution is,

y=yc(x)+yp(x)y=c1e-2x+c2e-3x+ex+x2
