There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second.  In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously.  Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

Find a particular solution to y" - y + y = 2 sin(3x)
leonid [27]

Answer with explanation:

The given differential equation is

y" -y'+y=2 sin 3x------(1)

Let, y'=z

y"=z'

\frac{dy}{dx}=z\\\\d y=zdx\\\\y=z x

Substituting the value of , y, y' and y" in equation (1)

z'-z+zx=2 sin 3 x

z'+z(x-1)=2 sin 3 x-----------(1)

This is a type of linear differential equation.

Integrating factor

     =e^{\int (x-1) dx}\\\\=e^{\frac{x^2}{2}-x}

Multiplying both sides of equation (1) by integrating factor and integrating we get

\rightarrow z\times e^{\frac{x^2}{2}-x}=\int 2 sin 3 x \times e^{\frac{x^2}{2}-x} dx=I

I=\frac{-2\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3}+\int\frac{2x\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3} dx -\int \frac{2\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3} dx\\\\I=\frac{-2\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3}+\int\frac{2x\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3} dx-\frac{2I}{3}\\\\\frac{5I}{3}=\frac{-2\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3}+\int\frac{2x\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{3} dx\\\\I=\frac{-2\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{5}+\int\frac{2x\cos 3x e^{\fra{x^2}{2}-x}}{5} dx
