In Exercises 20-23 solve the initial value problem and plot the solution. $$ y^{\prime \prime}-3 y^{\prime}-10 y=7 e^{-2 x}, \quad y(0)=1, \quad y^{\prime}(0)=-17 $$
Solve the initial value problem, given that \(y_{1}\) satisfies the complementary equation. \((x+1)^{2} y^{\prime \prime}-2(x+1) y^{\prime}-\left(x^{2}+2 x-1\right) y=(x+1)^{3} e^{x}, \quad y(0)=1, \quad y^{\prime}(0)=-1 ;\) \(y_{1}=(x+1) e^{x}\)
In calculus you learned that \(e^{u}, \cos u,\) and \(\sin u\) can be represented by the infinite series $$ \begin{array}{c} e^{u}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{u^{n}}{n !}=1+\frac{u}{1 !}+\frac{u^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{u^{3}}{3 !}+\cdots+\frac{u^{n}}{n !}+\cdots \\ \cos u=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n}}{(2 n) !}=1-\frac{u^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{u^{4}}{4 !}+\cdots+(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n}}{(2 n) !}+\cdots, \end{array} $$ and $$ \sin u=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n+1}}{(2 n+1) !}=u-\frac{u^{3}}{3 !}+\frac{u^{5}}{5 !}+\cdots+(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n+1}}{(2 n+1) !}+\cdots $$ for all real values of \(u\). Even though you have previously considered (A) only for real values of \(u\), we can set \(u=i \theta,\) where \(\theta\) is real, to obtain $$ e^{i \theta}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(i \theta)^{n}}{n !} $$ Given the proper background in the theory of infinite series with complex terms, it can be shown that the series in (D) converges for all real \(\theta\). (a) Recalling that \(i^{2}=-1,\) write enough terms of the sequence \(\left\\{i^{n}\right\\}\) to convince yourself that the sequence is repetitive: $$ 1, i,-1,-i, 1, i,-1,-i, 1, i,-1,-i, 1, i,-1,-i, \cdots $$ Use this to group the terms in (D) as $$ \begin{aligned} e^{i \theta} &=\left(1-\frac{\theta^{2}}{2}+\frac{\theta^{4}}{4}+\cdots\right)+i\left(\theta-\frac{\theta^{3}}{3 !}+\frac{\theta^{5}}{5 !}+\cdots\right) \\ &=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{\theta^{2 n}}{(2 n) !}+i \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{\theta^{2 n+1}}{(2 n+1) !} \end{aligned} $$ In calculus you learned that \(e^{u}, \cos u,\) and \(\sin u\) can be represented by the infinite series $$ \begin{array}{c} e^{u}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{u^{n}}{n !}=1+\frac{u}{1 !}+\frac{u^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{u^{3}}{3 !}+\cdots+\frac{u^{n}}{n !}+\cdots \\ \cos u=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n}}{(2 n) !}=1-\frac{u^{2}}{2 !}+\frac{u^{4}}{4 !}+\cdots+(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n}}{(2 n) !}+\cdots, \end{array} $$ and $$ \sin u=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n+1}}{(2 n+1) !}=u-\frac{u^{3}}{3 !}+\frac{u^{5}}{5 !}+\cdots+(-1)^{n} \frac{u^{2 n+1}}{(2 n+1) !}+\cdots $$ for all real values of \(u\). Even though you have previously considered (A) only for real values of \(u\), we can set \(u=i \theta,\) where \(\theta\) is real, to obtain $$ e^{i \theta}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(i \theta)^{n}}{n !} $$ Given the proper background in the theory of infinite series with complex terms, it can be shown that the series in (D) converges for all real \(\theta\).

Use Theorem \(5.2 .1(\mathbf{c})\) to verify that if the characteristic equation of (G) has complex conjugate roots \(\lambda \pm i \omega\) then \(z_{1}=e^{(\lambda+i \omega) x}\) and \(z_{2}=e^{(\lambda-i \omega) x}\) are both solutions of (G).
In Exercises 33-35 use variation of parameters to solve the initial value problem and graph the solution, given that \(y_{1}, y_{2}\) are solutions of the complementary equation. $$ \left(x^{2}-1\right) y^{\prime \prime}+4 x y^{\prime}+2 y=2 x, \quad y(0)=0, y^{\prime}(0)=-2 ; \quad y_{1}=\frac{1}{x-1}, y_{2}=\frac{1}{x+1} $$
In Exercises \(15-19\) find the general solution. $$ y^{\prime \prime}-3 y^{\prime}+2 y=e^{3 x}(1+x) $$
