Find the general solution of the following differential equations (complementary function particular solution). Find the solution by inspection or by (6.18), (6.23), or (6.24). Also find a computer solution and reconcile differences if necessary, noticing especially whether the solution is in simplest form [see (6.26) and the discussion after (6.15)].

Short Answer

Expert verified

The required differential equation isy=4+(α1x+α2)e2x

Step by step solution

01

Given information

A differential equation is given as .y''4y'+4y=0

02

Auxiliary equation

-Auxiliary equation:

Auxiliary equation is an algebraic equation of degreeupon which depends the solution of a given nth-order differential equation or difference equation.

-General form of the auxiliary equation(Da)(Db)=kecx

03

Solve for differential equation

First,write the auxiliary equation

(D2)(D2)y=16

Compare it to the general form of the auxiliary equation (Da)(Db)=kecxwhere , a=2,b=2and c=0, so, it is clear thata=b c, therefore, the solution would be in the form of eq.(6.18). Now, let

u=(D2)y

Therefore, the differential equation becomes

(D2)u=16u'2u=16

Which has become first order linear differential equation, and solve it using eq.(3.4) and eq.(3.9), that is

I=2dx=2xeI=ue2x=(16)e2xdx

Solve further

=8e2+α1u=8+α1e2x

04

Substitute u=−8+α1e2x  in the differential equation (D−2)y=u

Now, substituteu=8+α1e2x in the differential equation, (D2)y=uget,

y'2y=8+α1e2x

Which is again first order differential equation and solve it in the same way.

I=2dx=2xeI=e2xye2x=(8+α1e2x)e2xdx

Solve further

=4e2x+α1x+α2y=4+(α1x+α2)e2x

By the computer software ,[y',[x]4y'[x]+4y[x]==16,y[x],x] get the same answer as above.
