Short Answer

Expert verified

y(x)=18e-x+320cosx+120sinx+c1ex+c2xex+c3e-3x

Step by step solution

01

Find the corresponding auxiliaryequation

Theauxiliary equationof corresponding homogeneous equation

r3+r2-5r+3=(r-1)2(r+3)=0

The solutions of the auxiliary equation are

r=1,r=1,r=-3

Therefore a general solution to the homogeneous equation is

yh(x)=c1ex+c2xex+c3e-3x

02

Find particular solution

Let the particular solution be

yp(x)=ae-x+bcosx+csinx

Then

role="math" localid="1663939601921" yp'(x)=-ae-x-bsinx+ccosxyp'(x)=ae-x-bcosx-csinxyp'(x)=-ae-x+bsinx-ccosx

Then

yp'''(x)+yp''(x)-5yp'(x)+3yp(x)=-ae-x+bsinx-ccosx+ae-x-bcosx-csinx+5ae-x+5bsinx-5ccosx+3ae-x+3bcosx+3csinx=8ae-x+(2b-6c)cosx+(6b+2c)sinx

If8ae-x+(2b-6c)cosx+(6b+2c)sinx=e-x+sinx

Then8a=1,2b-6c=0and6b+2c=1

Then

a=-18,b=320andc=120

Hence

yp(x)=18e-x+320cosx+120sinx

03

Step 3: y(x)=yh+yp

Theny(x)=18e-x+320cosx+120sinx+c1ex+c2xex+c3e-3x

Is the general solution ofy'''+y''-5y'+3y=e-x+sinx

find a differential operator that annihilates the given function.

3x2-6x+1

On a smooth horizontal surface, a mass of m1 kg isattached to a fixed wall by a spring with spring constantk1 N/m. Another mass of m2 kg is attached to thefirst object by a spring with spring constant k2 N/m. Theobjects are aligned horizontally so that the springs aretheir natural lengths. As we showed in Section 5.6, thiscoupled mass–spring system is governed by the systemof differential equations

m1d2xdt2+(k1+k2)xk2y=0

m2d2ydt2k2x+k2y=0

Let’s assume that m1 = m2 = 1, k1 = 3, and k2 = 2.If both objects are displaced 1 m to the right of theirequilibrium positions (compare Figure 5.26, page 283)and then released, determine the equations of motion forthe objects as follows:

(a)Show that x(2) satisfies the equationx(4)(t)+7x''(t)+6x(t)=0

(b) Find a general solution x(2) to (36).

(c) Substitute x(2) back into (34) to obtain a generalsolution for y(2)

(d) Use the initial conditions to determine the solutions,x(2) and y(2), which are the equations of motion.

In Problems 1-6, use the method of variation of parameters to determine a particular solution to the given equation.

y'''-2y''+y'=x

Reduction of Order. If a nontrivial solution f(x) is known for the homogeneous equation

,y(n)+p1(x)y(n-1)+...+pn(x)y=0

the substitutiony(x)=v(x)f(x)can be used to reduce the order of the equation for second-order equations. By completing the following steps, demonstrate the method for the third-order equation

(35)y'''-2y''-5y'+6y=0

given thatf(x)=ex is a solution.

(a) Sety(x)=v(x)exand compute y′, y″, and y‴.

(b) Substitute your expressions from (a) into (35) to obtain a second-order equation in.w=v'

(c) Solve the second-order equation in part (b) for w and integrate to find v. Determine two linearly independent choices for v, say, v1and v2.

(d) By part (c), the functions y1(x)=v1(x)exand y2(x)=v2(x)exare two solutions to (35). Verify that the three solutions ex,y1(x), and y2(x)are linearly independent on(-,)
