how did they find the general solution? whats an auxilliary?

@sillybilly123 whenever you get a chance sorry I can't be more helpful ;_;

xXMarcelieXx:

@Nnesha

Nnesha:

this is the given question right ?\[\rm y"=18\cos(3x) , ~~~y(0)=1 ,~~~y'(0)=4\]

xXMarcelieXx:

yes

xXMarcelieXx:

general solution we would have to do some integration?

Nnesha:

\[\large\rm \frac{ d^2y }{ dx }= 18\cos(3x)\] integrate \[\frac{ dy }{ dx } =\frac{ 18 }{ 3 }\sin(3x)+c_1\] \[\rm given:~~~y'(\color{Red}{0})=\color{blue}{4}\]\[\color{blue}{4}=\frac{ 18 }{ 3 }\sin(3\color{Red}{(0)})+c_1\] solve for c_1

Nnesha:

ohHHHH nice thanks!

xXMarcelieXx:

dy/dx is the same as y'?

Nnesha:

yes

Nnesha:

sin(0) =0 so \[c_1=4\] \[\rm y'=6\sin(3x)+\color{green}{c_1}\]\[\rm y'=6\sin(3x)+\color{green}{4}\] now we integrate again

xXMarcelieXx:

y = -2cos 3x + 4 c

Nnesha:

x is our variable and c is constant so when you integrate the constant you get 4x+c_2\[\large\rm y=-2\cos(3x)+4x+c_2\]

Nnesha:

to double check the answer you can take derivative of 4x the derivative of 4x is 4

xXMarcelieXx:

oh thats right

Nnesha:

\[\large\rm y=-2\cos(3x)+4x+c_2\] use the given info y(0)=1 and solve for c2

Nnesha:

\[1=-2\cos(3 \cdot 0)+4(0)+c_2\]\[1=-2(1)+c_2\]\[c_2=3\]\[::-> ~~~~\color{blue}{y=-2\cos(3x)+4x+3}\]
