Short Answer

Expert verified

The particular solution isyp(x)=-127e2x-2932x2+x·e2x-13x2·e2x

Step by step solution

01

Definition

Variation of parameters, also known as variation of constants, is a general method to solve inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations.

02

Find complementary solution

The given equation is: y'''-3y''+4y=e2x

The auxiliary equation ism3-3m2+4=0

Solving for mwe get value:

m=-1,2,2

The complimentary solution isCF=c1e-x+c2e2x+c3xe2x

03

Calculate Wornkians

Compare withCF=c1y1(x)+c2y2(x)+c3y3(x).

y1(x)=e-x,y2(x)=e2xandy3(x)=xe2x

Find four Wronkians of determinant.

Wy1,y2,y3(x)=y1y'1y''1y2y'2y''2y3y'3y''3Wy1,y2,y3(x)=e-x-e-xe-xe2x2e2x4e2xxe2x2x+1e2x4x+1e2x

Take common factor out from each column.

Wy1,y2,y3(x)=e-x·e2x·e2x1-11124x2x+14x+1

Solving we get:

W1(x)=(-1)3-1Wy2,y3(x)=e4x

W2(x)=-ex(3x+1)W3(x)=3ex

04

Particular solution         

The particular solution is given by yp(x)=y1(x)·v1(x)+y2(x)·v2(x)+y3(x)·v3(x)

Here,

v1(x)=-g(x)W1(x)Wy1,y2,y3(x)dxv1(x)=-e2x·e4x9e3xdxv1(x)=-127e3xv2(x)=g(x)W2(x)Wy1,y2,y3(x)dxv2(x)=e2x·-ex(3x+1)9e3xdxv2(x)=-1932x2+x

v1(x)=-g(x)W1(x)Wy1,y2,y3(x)dxv1(x)=-e2x·e4x9e3xdxv1(x)=-127e3xv2(x)=g(x)W2(x)Wy1,y2,y3(x)dxv2(x)=e2x·-ex(3x+1)9e3xdxv2(x)=-1932x2+x

v3(x)=-g(x)W3(x)Wy1,y2,y3(x)dxv3(x)=-13x

Thus, the particular solution is given by:

yp(x)=v1(x)·y1(x)+v2(x)·y2(x)+v3(x)·y3(x)yp(x)=-127e2x-2932x2+x·e2x-13x2·e2x
