thesameasitsgeneralsolution;weshalloftenwritey(x)forboth.Ifconditionsaregiven

theyareappliedtothegeneralsolutionoftheinhomogeneousequationtodetermineany

unknown constants. This yields the particular solution satisfyingthe given conditions.

Example19.15 Verify that y 1

(x) = x and y 2

(x) = 1 both satisfy d2 y

= 0. Write down the general

dx2 solution of thisequation and verifythatthis indeed satisfies the equation.

Solution Ify 1

(x) = x then dy 1

y 1

dx =1andd2 = 0, so thaty

dx 2 1

satisfies d2 y

dx = 0.Ify 2 2

(x) = 1,

then dy 2

y 2

dx =0andd2 = 0, so thaty

dx 2 2

satisfies d2 y

= 0. From Property 1, the general

dx2 solution of d2 y

dx =0is 2

y H

(x) =Ax +B(1)

=Ax+B

To verifythat thissatisfies the equation proceed as follows:

dy H

dx =A

d 2 y H

dx 2 = 0

and soy H

(x) satisfies d2 y

dx 2 = 0.

Example19.16 Given

d 2 y

+y=x (19.9)

dx2 (a) Show thaty H

= Acosx +Bsinx is a solution of the corresponding homogeneous

equation.

(b) Verifythaty P

=xisaparticular integral.

(c) Verifythaty H

+y P

does indeed satisfythe inhomogeneous equation.

Solution (a) Ify H

=Acosx +Bsinx, then

y ′ H =−Asinx+Bcosx

y′′ H =−Acosx−Bsinx

We see immediately thaty H

+y ′′ H = 0 so thaty H

is a solution of the homogeneous

equation.

(b) Ify P

= x theny ′ P = 1 andy′′ P

= 0. Substitution into the inhomogeneous equation

shows thaty P

satisfies Equation (19.9),thatisy P

=xisaparticular integral.

(c) Writing

we have

y=Acosx+Bsinx+x

y ′ =−Asinx+Bcosx+1

y ′′ =−Acosx−Bsinx
