y'''-2y''-2y'+y=0 where y"(0)=1, y(0)=2, y(0)=2 how to get this were having trouble in this assignment please help :(
First, solve the characteristic equation \[ r^3-2 r^2-2 r+1=0\\ (1 + r) (1 - 3 r + r^2)=0 \] The roots are \[ \{r= -1\},\\ \left\{r= \frac{1}{2} \left(3-\sqrt{5}\right)\right\}, \\\left\{r= \frac{1}{2} \left(3+\sqrt{5}\right)\right\} \]
You find the general solution \[ y=a e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+b e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+c e^{-x} \]
You find a, b and c from the initial conditions.
thank you @eliassaab
i'm now confuse how to find those value :(
i need clear solution please im begging for help
sorry if im too slow to understand...
You have three initial conditions and you need three equations, so from each condition get an equation. From y(0)=2, you get \[ 2=y(0)=a e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) 0}+b e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) 0}+c e^{-0}=a+b+c=2 \] This is the first equation between a, b and c
\[ y'(x)=\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) a e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) b e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}-c e^{-x}\\ y'(0)=\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) a+\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) b-c=2 \] This is another equation between a, b and c
\[ y''(x)=\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2 a e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2 b e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+c e^{-x}\\ y''(0)=\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2 a+\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right)^2 b+c=1 \] This is the third equation. Is your teacher a masochist? I refuse to solve these three eqautins by hand for a , b and c
sometimes but shes kind i guest???
I solved them using Mathematica and I got \[ a= \frac{1}{10} \left(13+5 \sqrt{5}\right)\\b= \frac{13 \sqrt{5}-25}{10 \sqrt{5}}\\c= -\frac{3}{5} \]
Finally the answer is \[ y=\frac{1}{10} \left(13+5 \sqrt{5}\right) e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}+\frac{\left(13 \sqrt{5}-25\right) e^{\left(\frac{3}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}\right) x}}{10 \sqrt{5}}-\frac{3 e^{-x}}{5} \]
I would never assign such a problem to be done by hand.
I have to go. It was nice helping you.
thank you soo much till next time
