Use variation of parameters to find a general solution to the differential equation given that the functions y1 and y2 are linea

rly independent solutions to the corresponding homogeneous equation for t > 0.
ty'' + (2t - 1)y' - 2y = 7t2 e-2t y1 = 2t - 1, y2 = e-2t

Recall that variation of parameters is used to solve second-order ODEs of the form

<em>y''(t)</em> + <em>p(t)</em> <em>y'(t)</em> + <em>q(t)</em> <em>y(t)</em> = <em>f(t)</em>

so the first thing you need to do is divide both sides of your equation by <em>t</em> :

<em>y''</em> + (2<em>t</em> - 1)/<em>t</em> <em>y'</em> - 2/<em>t</em> <em>y</em> = 7<em>t</em>

<em />

You're looking for a solution of the form

y=y_1u_1+y_2u_2

where

u_1(t)=\displaystyle-\int\frac{y_2(t)f(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dt

u_2(t)=\displaystyle\int\frac{y_1(t)f(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)}\,\mathrm dt

and <em>W</em> denotes the Wronskian determinant.

Compute the Wronskian:

W(y_1,y_2) = W\left(2t-1,e^{-2t}\right) = \begin{vmatrix}2t-1&e^{-2t}\\2&-2e^{-2t}\end{vmatrix} = -4te^{-2t}

Then

u_1=\displaystyle-\int\frac{7te^{-2t}}{-4te^{-2t}}\,\mathrm dt=\frac74\int\mathrm dt = \frac74t

u_2=\displaystyle\int\frac{7t(2t-1)}{-4te^{-2t}}\,\mathrm dt=-\frac74\int(2t-1)e^{2t}\,\mathrm dt=-\frac74(t-1)e^{2t}

The general solution to the ODE is

y = C_1(2t-1) + C_2e^{-2t} + \dfrac74t(2t-1) - \dfrac74(t-1)e^{2t}e^{-2t}

which simplifies somewhat to

\boxed{y = C_1(2t-1) + C_2e^{-2t} + \dfrac74(2t^2-2t+1)}
