Short Answer

Determine the form of a particular solution for the differential equation. (Do not evaluate coefficients.)

y''+3y'-7y=t4et

The particular solution is yp(x)=(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)et.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution of a given differential equation.

The given differential equation is in the form of;

ax''+bx'+cx=ert

According to the method of undetermined coefficients, to find a particular solution to the differential equation:

ay''(x)+by'(x)+cy(x)=Ctmert

Where m is a non-negative integer, use the form

yp(x)=ts(Amtm+...+A1t+A0)ert

  1. s = 0 if r is not a root of the associated auxiliary equation;
  2. s = 1 if r is a simple root of the associated auxiliary equation;
  3. s = 2 if r is a double root of the associated auxiliary equation.

Step 2: Now, write the auxiliary equation of the above differential equation

The given differential equation is,

y''+3y'-7y=t4et            ......(1)

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

y''+3y'-7y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

r2+3r-7=0

Step 3: Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

r2+3r-7=0r=-3±32-4(1)(-7)2(3)r=-3±376

The roots of the auxiliary equation are;

r1=-3+376,      r2=-3-376

The complementary solution of the given equation is;

yc=c1e-3+376t+c2e-3-376t

Step 4: Final conclusion.

To find a particular solution to the differential equation

ay''(x)+by'(x)+cy(x)=Ctmert

Compare with the given differential equation,

y''+3y'-7y=t4et

Condition satisfied,

M=4, s = 0 if is not a root of the associated auxiliary equation;

Therefore, the particular solution of the equation,

yp(x)=t0(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)etyp(x)=(A4t4+A3t3+A2t2+A1t+A0)et
