Short Answer

Given that{ex,e-x,e2x} is a fundamental solution set for the homogeneous equation corresponding to the equation y'''-2y''-y'+2y=g(x),

determine a formula involving integrals for a particular solution.

The particular solution is yp(x)=-ex2e-xg(x)dx+e-x6exg(x)dx+e2x3exg(x)dx

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition

Variation of parameters, also known as variation of constants, is a general method to solve inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations.

Step 2: Find complementary solution

Consider the differential equation y'''-2y''-y'+2y=g(x)

Consider the fundamental solution of the equation as,ex,e-x,e2x

Therefore the complementary solutions of the equations is yc=c1ex+c2e-x+c3xe2x

Step 3: Wronkians

Here we have y1(x)=ex,y2(x)=e-x,y3(x)=e2x

Calculates the corresponding Wronskian is,

Apply row operation, and then Wronskian is,

Wy1,y2,y3=exe-xe2xex-ex2exexe-x4e2xWy1,y2,y3=exe-xe2xex-ex2ex003e2x; R3'=R3-R1=-6e2x

W1(x)=(-1)3-1e-xe2x-e-x2e2x=3exW2(x)=(-1)3-2exe2xex2e2x=-e3xW3(x)=(-1)3-3exe-xex-e-x=-2

Step 4: Calculate V1

We know that vk(x)=g(x)Wk(x)Wy1,y2,y3dx

Hence,

v1(x)=g(x)3ex-6e2xdx=-12g(x)e-xdxv2(x)=-g(x)e3x-6e2xdx=13g(x)e-2xdxv3(x)=(-2)g(x)-6e2xdx=13g(x)e-2xdx

Therefore the particular solution is involving integral is:

yp(x)=-ex2e-xg(x)dx+e-x6exg(x)dx+e2x3exg(x)dx
