Solve the following IVPs.
Solution
(b) y\" - 3y\' - 28y = 0
The characteristic equation is:
r2 - 3r - 28 = 0
Solving it, we get
r = 7 or r = -4
So, the general solution is given by
y(t) = c1e7t + c2 e-4t
Differentiating both the sides of the above equation, we get
y\'(t) = 7 c1e7t - 4 c2 e-4t
Putting in the initial conditions,
y(0) = 4 = c1+ c2 .....(1)
y\'(0) = 1 = 7 c1 - 4 c2 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
c1 = 17 / 11
c2 = 27 / 11
Hence, the solution is,
y(t) = (17 / 11) e7t + (27 / 11) e-4t
(c) y\" + 7y\' + 10y = 0
The characteristic equation is:
r2 + 7r + 10 = 0
Solving it, we get
r = -5 or r = -2
So, the general solution is given by
y(t) = c1e-5t + c2 e-2t
Differentiating both the sides of the above equation, we get
y\'(t) = (-5) c1e-5t + (-2) c2 e-2t
Putting in the initial conditions,
y(0) = -5 = c1+ c2 .....(1)
y\'(0) = 4 = -5 c1 - 2 c2 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
c1 = 2
c2 = - 7
Hence, the solution is,
y(t) = 2 e-5t - 7 e-2t
(d) y\" - 9y\' + 18y = 0
The characteristic equation is:
r2 - 9r + 18 = 0
Solving it, we get
r = 3 or r = 6
So, the general solution is given by
y(t) = c1e3t + c2 e6t
Differentiating both the sides of the above equation, we get
y\'(t) = (3) c1e3t + (6) c2 e6t
Putting in the initial conditions,
y(0) = - 1 = c1+ c2 .....(1)
y\'(0) = 8 = 3 c1 + 6 c2 ..(2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
c1 = -20 / 9
c2 = 11 / 9
Hence, the solution is,
y(t) = (-20/9) e3t + (11/9) e6t
