Write the given Differential Equation in the form L(y) = g(x), where L is a linear differential operator with constant coefficients. If possible, factor L
 
2y\" - 3y\' - 2y = 1
 
Please show work
2y\" - 3y\' - 2y = 1
Please show work
Solution
given equation can be written as:
2y\" -3y\' -2y = 1
or
y\" -1.5y\' -y = 0.5
this differential is solved by finding complementry solution and particular solution
complementry solution:
it can be find by solving, m2 -1.5m -1 = 0
which gives m = 2, -0.5
so we have: Ae2x +Be-0.5x
now particular solution:
we have y = 1/(m2 -1.5m -1 )
it can be written as: e0x/(m2 -1.5m -1)
as coefficient of t in power of t is 0 so put m = 0
we get y = -1
so overall solution
y = complementry solution + particular solution = Ae2x + Be-0.5x -1
ie y = Ae2x + Be-0.5x -1
