Sources of error are basically sources of uncertainty in your measurements. Every measurement, no matter how precise we believe it to be, contains some uncertainty simply because of how we measure it.

2. Find the solution of each differential equation. (a) y/2y-8y = 0 (b) 25y/- 20y + 4y = 0 (c) y + 2y + 2y = 0 2. Find the solut
jek_recluse [69]

Each of these ODEs is linear and homogeneous with constant coefficients, so we only need to find the roots to their respective characteristic equations.

(a) The characteristic equation for

y'' - 2y' - 8y = 0

is

r^2 - 2r - 8 = (r - 4) (r + 2) = 0

which arises from the ansatz y = e^{rx}.

The characteristic roots are r=4 and r=-2. Then the general solution is

\boxed{y = C_1 e^{4x} + C_2 e^{-2x}}

where C_1,C_2 are arbitrary constants.

(b) The characteristic equation here is

25r^2 - 20r + 4 = (5r - 2)^2 = 0

with a root at r=\frac25 of multiplicity 2. Then the general solution is

\boxed{y = C_1 e^{2/5\,x} + C_2 x e^{2/5\,x}}

(c) The characteristic equation is

r^2 + 2r + 2 = (r + 1)^2 + 1 = 0

with roots at r = -1 \pm i, where i=\sqrt{-1}. Then the general solution is

y = C_1 e^{(-1+i)x} + C_2 e^{(-1-i)x}

Recall Euler's identity,

e^{ix} = \cos(x) + i \sin(x)

Then we can rewrite the solution as

y = C_1 e^{-x} (\cos(x) + i \sin(x)) + C_2 e^{-x} (\cos(x) - i \sin(x))

or even more simply as

\boxed{y = C_1 e^{-x} \cos(x) + C_2 e^{-x} \sin(x)}
