Short Answer

Decide whether or not the method of undetermined coefficients can be applied to find a particular solution to the given equation.5y''-3y'+2y=t3cos4t

Yes, the method of undetermined coefficients can be applied.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

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

Given equation,

5y''-3y'+2y=t3cos4t               (1)

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

5y''-3y'+2y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

5m2-3m+2=0

Step 2: Now find the roots of an auxiliary equation,

Solve the auxiliary equation,

5m2-3m+2=0m=-(-3)±9-4(5)(2)2(5)m=3±-3110m=3±i3110

The roots of the auxiliary equation are,

m1=3+i3110,      m2=3-i3110

The complementary solution of the given equation is,

yc(x)=e310xc1cosh3110+c2sinh3110

Step 3: Final conclusion:

According to the method of undetermined coefficients,

The method of undetermined coefficients applies only to non-homogeneities that are polynomials, exponentials, sines, or cosines, or products of these functions, and R.H.S. of the differential equation has a finite family.

And the given R.H.S. of the equation t3cos(4t)has a final family.

The particular solution of equation (1),

yp(x)=(At3+Bt2+Ct+D)cos(4t)+(Et3+Ft2+Gt+H)sin(4t)

Therefore, the method of undetermined coefficients can be applied.
