Short Answer

In Problems 35, use the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution to the given higher-order equation.y'''+y''-2y=tet

The particular solution is yp(t)=t110t-425et.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

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

The given differential equation is:

y'''+y''-2y=tet               (1)

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

y'''+y''-2y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

m3+m2-2=0

Solve the auxiliary equation,

role="math" localid="1654925783487" (m-1)(m2+2m+2)=0m=1,  m=-2±4-82m=1,  m=-1±i

Step 2: Use the method of undetermined coefficients to find a particular solution to a given differential equation.

Consider the particular solution is,

yp(t)=t(At+B)et                  (2)

Take the first, second, and third derivative of the above equation,

yp'(t)=(At2+(2A+B)t+B)etyp''(t)=(At2+(4A+B)t+(2A+2B))etyp'''(t)=(At2+(6A+B)t+(6A+3B))et

Substitute value of yp(t),  yp''(t) and yp'''(t) in the equation (1),

y'''+y''-2y=tet(At2+(6A+B)t+(6A+3B))et+(At2+(4A+B)t+(2A+2B))et-2(At2+Bt)et=tet[10At+(8A+5B)]et=tet

Comparing the coefficients of the above equation;

role="math" localid="1654925973361" 10A=1A=1108A+5B=0                    ...(3)

Substitute the value A in the equation (3),

8110+5B=045+5B=0B=-425

Step 3: Conclusion.

Substitute values A and B in the equation (2),

yp(t)=t(At+B)etyp(t)=t110t-425et

Therefore, the particular solution of the equation (1),

yp(t)=t110t-425et
