linear D.E of nth order with constant coefficient...help guys .

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1381226444353:dw|

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

This WILL be messy... are you up for it? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

For these kinds of differential equations, the general form of the solution is given by \[\Large f^{(h)}(x) + f^{(p)}(x)\] where the f^h is the general solution to the homogeneous equation while f^p is any particular solution of this equation. Can you find the general solution to the homogeneous equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[m ^{^{2}}=11\]

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

What does that mean? D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=e ^{a}\]

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Oh wait... there's no y' term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get the higher order first D.E

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

So basically, it's \[\Large y'' - 11y = xe^x\]?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[m ^{2} +1 -12 =0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then m= square root of 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then get the vlue of y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=C{1}^{+\sqrt{11}x}+C{2}^{-\sqrt{11}x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Im right? what is the next get the other y which from Xe^x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whic is y= Ae^u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take derivative until second derivative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ang get the value of A I stocked here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help guys if Im wrong :(

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, if it doesn't work with only one undetermined coefficient, did you try 2? Specifically this: \[\Large y = \color{blue}Axe^x + \color{red}Be^x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subst the value of Y" ,Y' and Y to the y′′+ y -12y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get this y=Axex+Bex

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@UnkleRhaukus

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

are you sure the second term in the question isn't a derivative?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Odd, isn't it :D

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Oh by the way, I didn't actually "get" that Axe^x + Be^x, for all intents and purposes, it IS just a guess... see if it gets you the coefficients you want, since Axe^x alone doesn't seem to do it.

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

if not (yes strange), then i think you (@melmel ) got the complementary homogenous solution \[\large f^h(x)=y_c(x)=C_{1}e^{+\sqrt{11}x}+C_{2}e^{-\sqrt{11}x}\] {forgot to type the e's in the bases }

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

Which method to calculate the particular solution \[f^h(x)=y_p(x)\] are you going to use; undetermined coefficients, operator D , or variation of parameters, @melmel ?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

apparently offline :( Oh well, onwards and upwards XD

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

^_^ thanks
