Find a particular solution of y′′−3y−4y=3e2t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can make a "guess" at a solution here , what would you say the form of y= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A hint is \[y=Ae ^{?t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes. please continue

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not going to do the work for you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please, teach me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know that that is the particular intigral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y'=2Ae^2t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You see on the right hand side you have \[3e ^{2t}\] , so your solution will have the form \[y=Ae ^{2t}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and y''=4Ae^2t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct. Now plugging into the equation, you solve for A, and your particular solution is found.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks ,now i understand

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem :)
