The following 2 problems you are given x' = Ax + f. Give the FORM of a particular solution that you get from the technique of undetermined coefficients. You do not need to solve.
a) A = [ 0 1 ] f(t)= [ cos(t) ] [ -1 0 ] [ sin(2t) ]
I am having trouble understanding what the book says about the different forms for the particular solution.
I think this one would be xp = Acos(t) + Bsin(t) + Csin(2t) + Dcos(2t)
b) A = [ 0 1 ] f(t)= [ e^(2t) ] [ 1 0 ] [ e^(-t) ]
I think this one is xp = Ae^(2t) + Be^(-t)
ex) if f(t) = col(t,e^t,t^2) xp(t) = At^2 + Bt + c + De^t
Hmm I don't understand this really... Are you finding eigenvalues and all that kinda stuff? D: Orrrrr..?
yes, the part I'm studying now is about matrices and eigenvalues. This is part of an initial value problem where we just had to setup the particular solution. I left this 20 pt problem blank on my test :/
Oh my :O
I'm going back through it trying to solve the ones I got wrong, but I don't have the answer, makes it frustrating
@zepdrix this is in an ODE course.
@ChmE I'll have to look back into how to solve this... let me go find my book. :-p
@Hero @phi @jim_thompson5910 Can you check my answers?
thx @oldrin.bataku
