Question

Answer 1

Answer:

So, solution of  the differential equation is

$y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the given differential equation: y′′+4y=5xcos(2x)

We use the Method of Undetermined Coefficients.

We first solve the homogeneous differential equation y′′+4y=0.

$y''+4y=0\\\\r^2+4=0\\\\r=\pm2i$

It is a homogeneous solution:

$y_h(t)=c_1e^{-2i t}+c_2e^{2i t}$

Now, we finding a particular solution.

$y_p(t)=A5x\cos 2x\\\\y'_p(t)=A5\cos 2x-A10x\sin 2x\\\\y''_p(t)=-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x\\\\\\\implies y''+4y=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x-A20x\cos 2x+4\cdot A5x\cos 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\-A20\sin 2x=5x\cos 2x\\\\A=-\frac{x}{4} \cot 2x$

we get

$y_p(t)=A5\cos 2x\\\\y_p(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x\\\\\\y(t)=y_p(t)+y_h(t)\\\\y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}$

So, solution of  the differential equation is

$y(t)=-\frac{5x^2}{4}\cot 2x\cdot \cos 2x+c_1e^{-2it}+c_2e^{2it}$
