Second- Order Linear non-homogeneous differential equation has the form of:
ay+by+cy=g(x)
The general solution to this
a(x)y+b(x)y+c(x)y=g(x) can be written as:
y=yh+yp
yh is the solution to the homogeneous ODE ay+by+cy=0
and, yp is the particular solution that satisfies the non-homogeneous equation.
The given question is:
y4y12y=3e5x
First, we wiil find the yh by solving:
y4y12y=0
Its characteristic equation can be:
lamba24λ12=0
λ2(62)λ12=0
λ26λ+2λ12=0
λ(λ6)+2(λ6)=0
(λ6)(λ+2)=0
λ=6, λ=2
Hence the solution for different roots is given by:
yh=c1e6x+c2e2x
Now,we find y_p the particular solution for the non homogeneous equation:
y4y12y=3e5x
Now, Particular solution is of the form:
yp=3Ae5x
y=35Ae5x=15Ae5x
y=155Ae5x=75Ae5x
On substituting in y4y12y=3e5x, we get:
75Ae5x4(15Ae5x)12(3Ae5x)=3e5x
75Ae5x60Ae5x36Ae5x=3e5x
21Ae5x=3e5x
7A=1
A=17
Put value of A in yp=3Ae5x
Now, yp=37e5x
Hence, the solution of this non-homogeneous equation is given by:
y=yh+yp
where:
yh=c1e6x+c2e2x, and
yp=(3e5x)
So,
y=c1e6x+c2e2x37e5x where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants.
