Find a particular solution to the differential equation.

x''(t)-4x'(t)+4x(t)=te2t

Short Answer

Expert verified

The particular solution isxp=16t3e2t.

Step by step solution

01

Firstly, write the auxiliary equation of the above differential equation 

Consider the given differential equation,

x''(t)-4x'(t)+4x(t)=te2t â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â€¦(1)

Write the homogeneous differential equation of the equation (1),

x''(t)-4x'(t)+4x(t)=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,

m2-4m+4=0

02

Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

m2-4m+4=0(m-2)2=0

The roots of the auxiliary equation are;

m1=2, â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰& â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰m2=2

The complementary solution of the given equation is;

xc=c1e2t+c2te2t

03

Find a particular solution.

Therefore, the particular solution of equation (1),

xp=t2(At+B)e2t â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â¶Ä‰â¶Ä‰â€‰â€¦(2)

Now find the derivative of the above equation,

xp'(t)=(3At2+2Bt)e2t+2t2(At+B)e2txp'(t)=(3At2+2Bt+2At3+2t2B)e2txp''(t)=(12At2+8Bt+6At+4At3+4t2B+2B)e2t

From the equation (1), substitute the value of xp''(t), â¶Ä‰xp'(t)andxp(t), we get

x''p(t)-4xp'(t)+4xp(t)=te2t(12At2+8Bt+6At+4At3+4t2B+2B)e2t-4(3At2+2Bt+2At3+2t2B)e2t+4t2(At+B)e2t=te2tte2t(6A)+2Be2t=te2t

04

Final conclusion. 

Comparing all coefficients of the above equation,

6A=1 â¶Ä‰â‡’A=16B=0

Therefore, the particular solution of equation (1),

xp=t2(At+B)e2txp=t2(t+0)e2txp=t3e2t
