i need another check \[y'' + 9y = \sec (3t)\] i got \[y = C_1 \cos (3t) + C_2 \sin (3t) + \cos (3t) \ln |\cos (t)| + \frac{t\sin (3t)}{3}\] is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok first for complementary solution m^2+9=0 m=+-3i so yc=(c1cos(3t)+c2sin(3t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so complementary is correct:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now for particular did u use variation of parameters?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait..i changed my mind...should be 1/9 cos (3t) ln (cos t0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and yes i used variation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me check. i am just checking not solving :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhmm yeah sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes you are 100% correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except for the 1/9 with the log term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it should be 1/9cos(3t)lncos(t)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!!!
