solve the following diffential equation using Undetermined Coefficients y``+9y=sin 3x
Solution
First we find solution to the homogeneous ODE ie find the complementary solution.
y\'\'+9y=0
y\'\'=-3^2y
General solution to this ODE is:
y=A sin(3x)+B cos(3x)
Now we find the complementary solution.
IN the method of undetermined coefficients. We make a guess for particular solution based on the inhomogeneous part of the ODE. In this case it is sin(3x)
The guess usually is: C sin(3x)+D cos(3x)
But since sin(3x) is already a solution of the homegenous ODE we multiply our guess by x
So our guess becomes:
yp=Cx sin(3x)+Dx cos(3x)
yp\'=C sin(3x)+D cos(3x)+3x( Ccos(3x)- Dsin(3x))
yp\'\'=3C cos(3x)-3D sin(3x)-9x( sin(3x)+ cos(3x))+3( Ccos(3x)- Dsin(3x))
yp\'\'=3C cos(3x)-3D sin(3x)-9yp+3( Ccos(3x)- Dsin(3x))
yp\'\'+yp=3C cos(3x)-3D sin(3x)+3( Ccos(3x)- Dsin(3x))=sin(3x)
Comparing coefficients gives:
6C=0 ie C=0
-6D=1 ie D=-1/6
So, the general solution is:
y=A sin(3x)+B cos(3x)-sin(3x)/6
