Short Answer

Find a particular solution to the differential equation.

y''-y'+9y=3sin3t

The particular solution of the given differential equation is yp=cos(3t).

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Firstly, write the auxiliary equation of the above differential equation.

The differential equation is:

y''-y'+9y=3sin3t                ......(1)

Write the homogeneous differential equation of the equation (1),

y''-y'+9y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

m2-m+9=0

Step 2: Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation.

Solve the auxiliary equation,

m2-m+9=0m=-(-1)±1-4(9)(1)2m=1±-352m=1±i352

The roots of the auxiliary equation are,

m1=1+i352,   &   m2=1-i352

The complementary solution of the given equation is,

yc=et2c1cos(352t)+c2sin(352t)

Step 3: Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution to the differential equation

According to the method of undetermined coefficients, assume the particular solution of equation (1),

yp=Asin(3t)+Bcos(3t)                    (2)

Now find the derivative of the above equation,

yp'=3Acos(3t)-3Bsin(3t)yp''=-9Asin(3t)-9Bcos(3t)

From the equation (1), Substitute the value of yp'',  yp' and yp in the equation (1),

yp''-yp'+9yp=3sin3t-9Asin(3t)-9Bcos(3t)-(3Acos(3t))+9(+Bcos(3t))=3sin3t(-9A+3B+9A)sin(3t)+(-9B-3A+9B)cos(3t)=3sin3t3Bsin(3t)-3Acos(3t)=3sin3t

Step 4: Final conclusion.

Comparing all coefficients of the above equation;

3B=3B=1-3A=0A=0

Therefore, the particular solution of equation (1),

yp=Asin(3t)+Bcos(3t)yp=(0)sin(3t)+(1)cos(3t)yp=cos(3t)
