Question: Variation of parameters

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm using the variations of parameters method \[y''-2y'+y=e^{2x}\] \[y_c=c_1e^x+c_2xe^x\] \[y_p=u_1e^x+u_2xe^x\] \[y_p'=u_1e^x+u_2e^x+u_2xe^x\] \[y_p''=u_1'e^x+u_1e^x+u_2'e^x+u_2e^x+u_2'xe^x+u_2e^x+u_2xe^x\] now substitute into \[y''-2y'+y=e^{2x}\] After I substituted I simplified and got the following:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[u_1'e^x+u_2'e^x+u_2'xe^x=e^{2x}\] \[u_1'e^x+u_2'xe^x=0\] \[u_2'e^x=e^{2x}\] \[u_2'=e^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and through the same process I got \[u_1'=-xe^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and now I'm stuck

oh hi @lalaly =)

OpenStudy (lalaly):

\[y_p=u_1 e^x +u_2xe^x\]from u1' find u1 (integratiion by parts) let u=-x dv=e^xdx du=-dx v=e^x \[u_1=-xe^x+e^x\]\[u_1=(1-x)e^x\] now same way find u2 \[u_2=e^x\] from what uve written\[y_p=u_1e^x+u_2xe^x\]substitute u1 and u2\[y_p=(1-x)e^x(e^x)+xe^x(e^x)=(1-x)e^{2x}+xe^{2x}\]\[y_p=e^{2x}-xe^{2x}+xe^{2x}=e^{2x}\]

OpenStudy (lalaly):

therefore\[y=y_h+y_p = c_1e^x+c_2xe^x+e^{2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me a min. I'm looking through it....

OpenStudy (lalaly):

take ur time:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!
