Anyone here good at differential equations?

OpenStudy (nvafer):

\[y''+3y'+2=1+3x+x^2\]

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

/is it 2y or just 2?

OpenStudy (nvafer):

sorry 2y

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

ok, so find the CF first... by solving m^2+3m+2=0

OpenStudy (nvafer):

I could only find the solution for the one in the left

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

m=-1,-2

OpenStudy (nvafer):

yeah

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

p.I. =(1/(D^2+3D+2)) (1+3x+x^2)

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

or you may use the method of variation of parameters

OpenStudy (nvafer):

but the other one is like this \[(-3+\sqrt{5})/2\] and the other one \[(-3-\sqrt{5})/2\]

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

what do you mean? ? The other?????

OpenStudy (nvafer):

I gotta use undetermined coefficients @jango_IN_DTOWN

OpenStudy (nvafer):

yes the other one

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

/oh, you should have mentioned in the question: solve by the method of undetermined coefficients.

OpenStudy (nvafer):

sorry, sorry. I-m worried bout this

OpenStudy (nvafer):

I have the answer but I can't get to it because of those strange roots of the other one

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

So , comparing with the equation y''+Py'+Qy=X, we have P=3,Q=2 and X is a polynomial of degree 2. Both are non-zero. So assume y_p=ax^2+bx+c

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

then you need to determine a,b,c.

OpenStudy (nvafer):

wait a minute

OpenStudy (nvafer):

Ill send a pic

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

I got the P.I as (1/2)x^2

OpenStudy (nvafer):

you are correct however i dont get to it

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Ok. here comes the solution

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

as I said, the pi is of the form ax^2+bx+c where you need to determine a,b,c..

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

now the p.i. need to satisfy the given differential equation so (ax^2+bx+c)''+3(ax^2+bx+c)'+2(ax^2+bx+c)=1+3x+x^2 or, 2a+(6ax+3b)+2(ax^2+bx+c)=1+3x+x^2 or, 2ax^2+(2b+6a)x+(2a+3b+2c)=1+3x+x^2 now compare both the sides and you get a=1/2,b=0,c=0 so p.i.= (1/2)x^2

OpenStudy (nvafer):

Thats what i have done

OpenStudy (nvafer):

Thats what i have done

OpenStudy (nvafer):

@jango_IN_DTOWN thats the pic

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

I dont have any idea what you did. The first part , finding the CF is fine. Rest part you write from the solution I did

OpenStudy (nvafer):

I found the roots of the olynomial in the right and then i found the solutions, then I derivated them acording to the function in the left then i added each of them

OpenStudy (nvafer):

I'll show you an excercise i got correct so you gonna have and idea of the method i use

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Method of undetermined coefficients is the method I used. The method you used is not the method you asked for solution. If you need a table , which have all the possible preferable cases of the method of undetermined coefficients, then I can provide

OpenStudy (nvafer):

OpenStudy (nvafer):

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

The second problem is good.. Do you need the table of undetermined coefficients?

OpenStudy (nvafer):

No, but i wanna follow the steps i used in that excercise to the one im asking for. Any idea.

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

OpenStudy (danjs):

which prob you need to see?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

@nvafer your problem which got correct was in the format of case 3 a in picture 3 I posted. So you got it correct

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

In the given problem, it is of the format of a polynomial of degree 2 and P, Q are both non-zero. So it is of the Case 1 a) of pic 1.

OpenStudy (nvafer):

Thanks man i know where the fail is i think that was because im tired xD

OpenStudy (nvafer):

Ill show you a pic

OpenStudy (nvafer):

@jango_IN_DTOWN

OpenStudy (danjs):

\[y''+3y'+2=1+3x+x^2 \] using undetermined coefficients r^2 + 3r + 2=0 r=-1 , r=-2 in this case with two real roots, the homogeneous solution is form \[\large y _{h}=C _{1}e^{-x}+C _{2}e^{-2x}\]

OpenStudy (nvafer):

@jango_IN_DTOWN

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

good

OpenStudy (danjs):

yeah looks good, the tricky part is deciding what the trial particular solution will look like for different problems
