Question

Solve (D*D + 4)y = x + cos²x​

Answer 1

Answer:

(D^2 + 9)y = cos 2x….(1). The corresponding homogeneous equation is (D^2 +9)y= 0,…(2), whose auxiliary equation is m^2 + 9 = 0, which has (+/-)3i as roots. The general solution of (2) is y = A.cos(3x) + B.sin(3x). Now to get a general solution of (1) we have just to add to the above, a particular solution of (1). One such solution is [cos(2x)]/[-2^2 +9] = (1/5).cos 2x. Hence a general solution of the given equation is given by y = A.cos(3x) + B.sin(3x) + (1/5)cos(2x), where A and B are arbitrary constants. The above solution incorporates all the solutions of the given equation.
