Solution
y\" + y\' = 3e3t
Characteristic equation is given by:r2 + r =0 => r(r+1) = 0 => r=0,-1
The solution to homogeneous equation y\" + y\' =0 is of the form:
yc = Aeot + Be-t = A + Be-t
Now guess of particular solution is yp = Ce3t
yp\' = 3Ce3t, yp\" = 9Ce3t
Plug in these values in the given differential equation, we get the value of C
3Ce3t+9Ce3t = 3e3t
=> 12Ce3t = 3e3t
Comparing coefficients of e3t on both sides:
12C = 3 => C = 1/4
Therefore the solution is given by: y(t) = yc + yp = A + Be-t + 1/4e3t
Now y(0) =1 => 1 = A + B + 1/4 => A + B = 3/4
Also y\'(0) = 2 => 2 = 0 - B + 3/4 => -B = 5/4 => B = -5/4 and so A = 3/4+5/4 = 8/4 = 2
The solution to the given initial value problem is given by:
y(t) = 2-5/4e-t+1/4e3t
Option (a) is correct
