Annihilator Method) applies to any nonhomogeneous term as long as the associated homogeneous equation has constant coefficients. 6. Variation of parameters works for all differential equations. In Problems 7-11, consider the particular solutions of their respective forced equations $P(D)(y) = F_1(x)$ and $P(D)(y) = F_2(x)$. Find a particular solution for the new forcing function in $P(D)(y) = F_3$. 7. $y'' + y' - 6y = 50$ with $y_p = -\frac{25}{3}$ and $y'' + y' - 6y = 36x$ with $y_p = -6x - 1$; $F_2(x) = 100 - 18x$ 8. $y'' + 2y' + 6y = 2$ with $y_p = \frac{1}{3}$ and $y'' + 2y' + 6y = e^x$ with $y_p = \frac{1}{9}e^x$; $F_2(x) = 6 + 9e^x$

Find the general solution of the given differential equation using the annihilator method. y'' - 3y' + 2y = 4x^2 y'' + 2y' - 3y = 4e^x - sin x with the conditions that y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 1. Solve.

Assuming nonhomogeneous differential equations y" + p(x)y' + q(x)y = r(x), y = y(x). The general solution can be expressed as y = y_h + y_p = (c1y1 + c2y2) + y_p. Where y_h is the general solution of the equation to the corresponding homogeneous equation. c1 and c2 are two arbitrary constants. Please derive yp = y1 ∫ (W1r/W)dx + y2 ∫ (W2r/W)dx. A solution to a nonhomogeneous equation. W1 = |0 y2; 1 y'2|, W2 = |y1 0; y'1 1|. While y = W(y1, y2) is a Wronskian with two solutions (y1 and y2).

Consider the nonhomogeneous linear ODE with constant coefficients a and b y" + ay' + by = r(x). In class we found the particular integral yp(x) using the method of undetermined coefficients. This is very useful if r(x) if is not too complicated. Another method that can be used to find yp(x) is the method of variation of parameters. For this method let us first define the Wronskian of two functions. The Wronskian of the functions y1(x) and y2(x), denoted W(y1, y2) or W is defined to be W(y1, y2) = |y1 y2; y1' y2'| (i) Compute W(cos wx, sin wx). Now, if y1 and y2 are linearly independent solutions to the homogeneous equation y" + ay' + by = 0, then yp(x) = -y1 ∫(y2r/W) dx + y2 ∫(y1r/W) dx, where we ignore the constants of integration. (ii) Find out what the statement "y1 and y2 are linearly independent solutions" means and write down your understanding. Consider the ODE y" + y = sec x. (iii) Show that yh = A1 cos x + A2 sin x. (iv) Given that two linearly independent solutions are y1 = cos x and y2 = sin x, use the method of variation of parameters to find yp, and then write down the solution to the ODE.
