564 Chapter 19 Ordinary differential equations I

To find the particular solution we mustnow imposethe given conditions:

y(0)=1 gives 1=A+B

y ′ (0)=1 gives 1=2A−5B

from which A = 6 7 andB = 1 . Finally, the required particular solution is

7

y = 6 7 e2x + 1 7 e−5x .

Example19.21 Findthe generalsolution of

d 2 y

dx 2 +4y=0

Solution As before, lety = e kx so that dy

dx = kekx and d2 y

dx = 2 k2 e kx . The auxiliary equation is

easily found tobe

that is

so that

k 2 +4=0

k 2 =−4

k=±2j

that is,we have complex roots.The two independent solutions ofthe equation arethus

y 1

(x) = e 2jx and y 2

(x) = e −2jx

so thatthe general solution can be written inthe form

y(x) =Ae 2jx +Be −2jx

However, in cases such as this, it is usual to rewrite the solution in the following way.

Recall from Chapter 9 thatEuler’s relations give

and

so that

e 2jx = cos2x +jsin2x

e −2jx = cos2x −jsin2x

y(x) =A(cos2x +jsin2x) +B(cos2x −jsin2x)

If we now relabel the constants such that

A+B=C and Aj−Bj=D

we can write the general solution inthe form

y(x) =Ccos2x +Dsin2x
