Step by step solution

01

Given data.

It is given in the question that y=1/LDuxis a solution of the differential equation LDy=u.

02

General solution of differential equation.

A general solution to the nth order differential equation is one that incorporates a significant number of arbitrary constants. If one uses the variable approach to solve a first-order differential equation, one must insert an arbitrary constant as soon as integration is completed.

03

Find the general solution of given differential equation

a)

Recall that D stands for ddx.

Then,

D-aecx=Decx-aecx=cecx-aecxD-aecx=c-aecxD2+5D-3ecx=D2ecx+5Decx-3ecx=c2ecx+5cecx-3ecx=c2+5c-3ecx

Similarly, LDecx=Lcecx, where LDis any polynomial D.

Suppose the rate at which bacteria in a culture grow is proportional to the number present at any time. Write and solve the differential equation for the number N of bacteria as a function of time t if there are N0bacteria when t=0. Again note that (except for a change of sign) this is the same differential equation and solution as in the preceding problems.

(a) Show that D(eaxy)=eax(D+a)y,D2(eaxy)=eax(D+a)2y, and so on; that is, for any positive integral n, Dn(eaxy)=eax(D+a)ny.

Thus, show that ifis any polynomial in the operator D, then L(D)(eaxy)=eaxL(D+a)y.

This is called the exponential shift.

(b) Use to show that (D-1)3(exy)=exD3y,(D2+D-6)(e-3xy)=e-3x(D2-5D)y..

(c) Replace Dby D-a, to obtain eaxP(D)y=P(D-a)eaxy

This is called the inverse exponential shift.

(d) Using (c), we can change a differential equation whose right-hand side is an exponential times a

polynomial, to one whose right-hand side is just a polynomial. For example, consider

(D2-D-6)y=10×e2x; multiplying both sides by e-3xand using (c), we get

e-3x(D2-D-6)y=[D+32-D+3-6"]"ye-3x=(D2+5D)ye-3x=10x

Show that a solution of (D2+5D)u=10xis u=x2-25x; then or use this method to solve Problems 23 to 26.

In Problems 13 to 15, find a solution (or solutions) of the differential equation not obtainable by specializing the constant in your solution of the original problem. Hint: See Example 3.

For each of the following differential equations, separate variables and find a solution containing one arbitrary constant. Then find the value of the constant to give a particular solution satisfying the given boundary condition. Computer plot a slope field and some of the solution curves.
