Short Answer

In Problems 3–8, determine whether the given function is a solution to the given differential equation.

θ=2e3t-e2t, d2θdt2-θdt+3θ=-2e2t

The given function is not a solution to the given differential equation.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Differentiating the given equation w.r.t. (with respect to) t

Firstly, we will differentiate θ=2e3t- e2t with respect to t,

dt=6e3t-2e2t

Again, differentiating with respect to t,

d2θdt2=18e3t-4e2t

Step 2: Simplification

Putting the values from step 1 in the L.H.S. (Left-hand side) of the given differential equation,

d2θdt2-θdθdt+3θ=18e3t-4e2t-2e3t-e2t×6e3t-2e2t+3×2e3t-e2td2θdt2-θdθdt+3θ=18e3t-4e2t-12e6t-4e5t-6e5t+2e4t+6e3t-3e2td2θdt2-θdt+3θ=24e3t-7e2t-12e6t-4e5t-6e5t+2e4t

which is not the same as the R.H.S. (Right-hand side) of the given differential equation.

Hence, θ=2e3t-e2t is not a solution to the differential equation d2θdt2-θdt+3θ=-2e2t.
