17 = 0. Since y1 = ex is a solution we know that m1 = 1 is a root of the auxiliary equation.
The equation can then be written as (m1)(m2 8m+17) = 0. The roots of this equation are 1
and 4i. The general solution of the differential equation is y = C1 ex +e4x (C2 cos x+C3 sin x).
42. Assuming a solution of the form y = emx we obtain the auxiliary equation m3 +6m2 +m34 =
0. Since y1 = e4x cos x is a solution, we know that m1 = 4 + i is a root of the auxiliary
equation. Using the fact that complex roots of real polynomial equations occur in conjugate
pairs we have that m2 = 4i is also a root. Thus [m(4+i)][m(4i)] = m2 +8m+17 is
a factor of the auxiliary equation and we can write it as m3 +6m2 +m34 = (m2 +8m+17)(m
2) = 0. The general solution of the differential equation is y = C1 e2x +e4x (C1 cos x+C2 sin x).
43. y 0 = memx , y 00 = m2 emx , y 000 = m3 emx ; m3 emx 4m2 emx 5memx = 0 = (m3 4m2
5m)emx = 0 = m3 4m2 5m = 0 = m(m 5)(m + 1) = 0 = m = 0, 1, 5; y =
C1 + C2 ex + C3 e5x
44. y 0 = memx , y 00 = m2 emx , y 000 = m3 emx ; m3 emx + 3m2 emx 4memx 12emx = 0 =
(m3 + 3m2 4m 12)emx = 0 = m3 + 3m2 4m 12 = 0 = m2 (m + 3) 4(m + 3) =
0 = (m2 4)(m + 3) = 0 = m = 3, 2, 2; y = C1 e3x + C2 e2x + C3 e2x
45. Case 1: = 2 < 0
Auxiliary equation is m2 2 = 0, so m = and general solution is y = C1 ex + C2 ex .
Boundary conditions yield y(0) = C1 +C2 = 0 and y(1) = C1 e +C2 e = 0, or C1 = C2 = 0.
So Case 1 yields no nonzero solutions.
Case 2: = 0
Auxiliary equation is m2 = 0, so m = 0 is a repeated root and general solution is y = C1 +C2 x.
Boundary conditions yield y(0) = C1 = 0 and y(1) = C2 = 0. So Case 2 yields no nonzero
solutions.
Case 3: = 2 > 0
Auxiliary equation is m2 + 2 = 0, so m = i and the general solution is y = C1 cos x +
C2 sin x. Boundary conditions yield y(0) = C1 = 0 and y(1) = C2 sin = 0. Hence, nonzero
solutions exist only when sin = 0, which implies = n so that = n2 2 for n = 1, 2, 3, . . .
(n = 0 is excluded since that would give = 0).

(c) The general solution of the differential equation in part (b) is r(t) = c1 cos t + c2 sin t.
The initial conditions r(0) = R and r0 (0) = 0 imply c1 = R and c2 = 0. Then r(t) =

a period of T = 2/. If we use R=3960 mi and g=32 ft/s2 , then T 5079 s or 1.41 h.

37. Writing the differential equation in the form d2 C/dx2 (1/2 )C = C()/2 we see that
the auxiliary equation is m2 1/2 = 0. Thus, Cc = c1 ex/ + c2 ex/ . Using undetermined
coefficients with Cp = A we find that A = C(). Then C(x) = c1 ex/ + c2 ex/ + C().
Since C(0) = c1 +c2 +C() = 0 and lim C(x) = C() we see that c1 = 0 and c2 = C().
x

Thus, C(x) = C()(1 ex/ ).


38. If yc is the complementary function and yp is a particular solution, we have
ayc00 + byc0 + cyc = 0

and ayp00 + byp0 + cyp = g(x).

16.4. MATHEMATICAL MODELS

303

Therefore, letting y = yc + yp , we have


ay 00 = by 0 + cy 0 = a(yc + yp )00 + b(yc + yp )0 + c(yc + yp )
= ayc00 + ayp00 + byc0 + byp0 + cyc + cyp
= [ayc00 + byc0 + cyc ] + [ayp00 + byp0 + cyp ]
= ayp00 + byp0 + cyp = g(x)
39. (a) Substituting Aex in for y in the DE, we have Aex + 2Aex 3Aex = 10ex or 0 = 10ex ,
which is a contradiction for any value of A.
(b) Substituting Axex for y, we have
A(x + 2)ex + A(2x + 2)ex 3Axex = 10ex .
Equating coefficients of xex and coefficients of ex , we get
A + 2A 3A = 0

and

2A + 2A = 10

. Therefore, yp = xex .
2

(c) The auxiliary equation is m2 + 2m 3 = 0, so m = 3 or m = 1. This gives yc =

y = yc + yp = C1 e3x + C2 ex + xex

40. The auxiliary equation is m2 1 = 0, so m = 1. This gives yc = C1 ex + C2 ex . We look for a
particular solution of the form yp = Axex + B(x 2)ex Axex Bxex = ex ex . Equating
coefficients of xex , ex , xex , and ex , we get A A = 0, 2A = 1, B B = 0, 2B = 1,

4. From Hookes law we have 24 = k(1/3), so k = 72. Using m = W/g = 24/32 = 3/4, the initial
3
3
value problem is x00 +72x = 0; x(0) = 3, x0 (0) = 0. The auxiliary equation is m2 +72 =

4
0, so m = 4 6i and x = C1 cos 4 6t+C2 sin 4 6t, x0 = 4 6C1 sin 4 6+4 6C2 cos 4 6t.

1
Using the initial conditions, we obtain C1 = 1/4 and C2 = 0. Thus, x(t) = cos 4 6t.
4
5. From Hookes law we have 400 = k(2), so k = 200. The initial value problem is 50x00 + 200x =
0; x(0) = 0, x0 (0) = 1 = . The auxiliary equation is 50m2 + 200 = 0, so m = 2i and
x = C1 cos 2x + C2 sin 2x, x0 = 2C1 sin 2x + 2C2 cos 2x. Using the initial conditions, we
obtain C1 = 0 and C2 = 5. Thus, x(1) = 5 sin 2x.

x + 4x = 0; x(0) =

3
3
C2 sin 8x, x0 = 8C1 sin 8x + 8C2 cos 8x. Using the initial conditions, we obtain C1 = 2/3

and C2 = 1/6. Thus, x(t) = cos 8t sin 8t.

7. A 2 pound weight is released from the equilibrium position with an upward speed of 1.5 ft/s.
A damping force numerically equal to twice the instantaneous velocity acts on the system.
8. A 16 pound weight is released from 2 feet above the equilibrium position with a downward
speed of 1 ft/s. A damping force numerically equal to the instantaneous velocity acts on the
system.
1 00
x + x0 + 2x = 0; x(0) =
8
1, x0 (0) = 8. The auxiliary equation is m2 /8 + m + 2 = 0 or (m + 4)2 = 0, so m = 4, 4
and x = C1 e4t + C2 te4t , x0 = (C2 4C1 )e4t 4C2 te4t . Using the initial conditions, we
obtain C1 = 1 and C2 = 4. Thus, x(t) = e4t +4te4t . Solving x(t) = e4t +4te4t = 0, we
see that the weight passes through the equilibrium position at t = 1/4s. To find the maximum
displacement we solve x0 (t) = 8e4t 16te4t = 0. This gives t = 1/2. Since x(1/2) = e2
0.14, the maximum displacement is approximately 0.14 feet below the equilibrium position at
t = 1/2s.

9. Using m = W/g = 4/32 = 1/8, the initial value problem is

10. From Hookes law we have 40(980) = k(10), so k = 3920. The initial value problem is 40x00 +
560x0 + 3920x = 0; x(0) = 0, x0 (0) 2. The auxiliary equation is 40m2 + 560m + 3920 = 0
or m2 + 14m + 98 = 0, so m = 7 7i and x = e7t (C1 cos 7t + C2 sin 7t),
x0 = 7(C1 + C2 )e7t sin 7t 7(C1 C2 )e7t cos 7t. Using the initial conditions, we obtain
2
C1 = 0 and C2 = 2/7. Thus, x(t) = e7t sin 7t.
7
11. From Hookes law we have 10 = k(7 5), so k = 5. Using m = W/g = 8/32 = 1/4, the
1
1
initial value problem is x00 + x0 + 5x = 0; x(0) = ; x0 (0) = 1. The auxiliary equation is
4
2
m2 /4+m+5 = 0 or m2 +4m+20 = 0, so m = 24i. Thus, x = e2t (C1 cos 4t+C2 sin 4t) and
x0 = 2(C1 2C2 )e2t cos 4t 2(2C1 + C2 )e2t sin 4t. Using the initial conditions, we obtain
1
1
1
= C1 and 1 = 2( 2C2 ), so C1 = 1/2 and C2 = 1/2. Therefore x(t) = e2t (cos 4t +
2
2
2
sin 4t).

12. From Hookes law we have 24 = k(4), so k = 6. Using m = W/g = 24/32 = 3/4, the initial

From x(0) = 0 we obtain C3 = 0 so that x(t) = C4 e2t/3 sinh(

13. From Hookes law we have 10 = k(2), so k = 5. Using m = W/g = 10/32 = 5/16, the
5 00
5 2
differential equation is
x + x0 + 5 = 0. The auxiliary is
m + m + 5 = 0 Using the
16
16
p
2
quadratic formula, m = ( 25/4)/(5/8). For > 0 the motion is
(a) overdamped when 2 25/4 > 0 or > 5/2
(b) critically damped when 2 25/4 = 0 or = 5/2
(c) underdamped when 2 25/4 < 0 or < 5/2.

14. Since W = mg = 1(32) = 32, we have from Hookes law 32 = k(2), so k = 16. The initial
value problem is x00 + 8x0 + 16x = 8 sin 4t; x(0) = x0 (0) = 0. The auxiliary equation is
m2 + 8m + 16 = (m + 4)2 = 0 so m = 4, 4, and xc = C1 e4t + C2 te4t . Using
xp = A sin 4t + B cos 4t we find A = 0 and B = 1/4. Thus,
x(t) = C1 e4t + C2 te4t

1
cos 4t and x0 (t) = 4C1 e4t 4C2 te4t + C2 e4t + sin 4t.

Using the initial conditions, we obtain 0 = C1 and 0 = 4C1 + C2 . Thus, C1 = 1/4 and

C2 = 4C1 = 1. Therefore x(t) = e4t + te4t cos 4t.

Aet sin 4t + Bet cos 4t we find A = 7/625 and B = 24/625. Thus,
x(t) = C1 e4t + C2 te4t

100 = 0, so m = 20 40i. The general solution is q = e20t (C1 cos 40t + C2 sin 40t). The
0
initial conditions yield q(0) = C1 = 5 and i(0)
 = q (0) = 20C1+ 40C2 = 0, which gives
5
C1 = 5 and C2 = 25 . Therefore q(t) = e20t 5 cos 40t + sin 40t , and q(0.01) = 4.568C.
2
q(t) = 0 when 5 cos 40t + 52 sin 40t = 0 which first occurs at t = 0.0509 s.
18. The DE describing charge is 41 q 00 +20q 0 +300q = 0. The auxiliary equation is 41 m2 +20m+300 =
0, so m = 20 or m = 60. The general solution is q(t) = C1 e20t + C2 e60t . The initial
conditions yield q(0) = C1 + C2 = 4 and i(0) = q 0 (0) = 20C1 60C2 = 0, which give C1 = 6
and C2 = 2. Therefore, q(t) = 6e20t 2e60t . The charge is never equal to zero.
5 00
q + 10q 0 + 30q = 300. The auxiliary equation is 53 m2 + 10m + 30 = 0. so
3
m = 3 3i. This gives qc = e3t (C1 cos 3t + C2 sin 3t). Assume a particular solution of the
form qp = A. Substituting into the DE, we have 30A = 300 so that A = 10 and therefore
qp = 10. Thus, the general solution is q = qc + qp = e3t (C1 cos 3t + C2 sin 3t) + 10. The initial
conditions yield q(0) = C1 +10 = 0 and i(0) = q 0 (0) = 3(C1 C2 ) = 0, which gives C1 = 10
and C2 = 10. Therefore, q(t) = e3t (10 cos 2t 10 sin 3t) + 10 10 10e3t (cos 3t + sin 3t),
i(t) = q 0 (t) = 60e3t sin 3t. The charge q(t) attains a maximum of 10.432 C at t = 3 .

20. The DE is q 00 +100q 0 +2500q = 30. The auxiliary equation is m2 +100m+250000, so m = 50


is a repeated root. This gives qc = C1 e50t + C2 te50t . Assume a particular solution of the
3
form qp = A. Substituting into the DE, we have 2500A = 30 so that A = 250
and therfore

qp = 250 . The general solution is q = qc + qp = C1 e
3
is q = qc + qp = C1 e50t + C2 te50t + 250
. The initial conditions yield q(0) = C1 = 0 and
3
0
i(0) = q (0) = 50C! + C2 = 2 which give C1 = 0 and C2 = 2. Therefore, q(t) = 2te50t + 250

and i(t) = q (t) = (2 100t)e
. The charge q(t) attains a maximum of 0.0267 C at t = 50

1. Py = 6xy 2 sin y 3 = Qx , and the equation is exact.
fx = 2x cos y 3 , f = x2 cos y 3 + g(y), fy = 3x2 y 2 sin y 3 + g 0 (y) = 1 3x2 y 2 sin y 3 ,
g 0 (y) = 1, g(y) = y, f = x2 cos3 y y.
Therefore, the solution is x2 cos y 3 y = C.
2. Py = 6y 2 = Qx , and the equation is exact. fx = 3x2 + 2y 3 , f = x3 + 2xy 3 + g(y), fy =

3. Py = 2xy 5 = Qx , and the equation is exact.
fx = 21 xy 4 , f = 14 x2 y 4 + g(y), fy = x2 y 5 + g 0 (y) = 3y 3 x2 y 5
g 0 (y) = 3y 3 , g(y) = 32 y 2 , f = 14 x2 y 4 32 y 2 .
Therefore, the general solution is 14 x2 y 4 32 y 2 = C. Since y(1) = 1, we have 41 (1)(1) 32 (1) =
C or C = 54 . Thus, the solution is 41 x2 y 4 32 y 2 = 54 .
4. Py = 2x + sin x = Qx and the equation is exact.

, g(y) = tan1 (y), f = xy 2 y cos x + tan1 (y). Therefore, the general
g 0 (y) =
1 + y2
solution is xy 2 y cos x + tan1 (y) = C. Since y(0) = 1, we have 1 + 4 = C. Thus, the

solution is xy 2 y cos x + tan1 (y) = 1

(x + uxeu )dx xeu (udx + xdu) = 0 = dxxeu du = 0 =

Using y(1) = 0 we find C1 = 1. The solution of the initial-value problem is ln |x| = ey/x 1.
12. The auxiliary equation is m = m2 + 4m + 4 = 0, so m = 2 is a repeated root. The
general solution is y = C1 e2x + C2 xe2x . Initial conditions yield y(0) = C1 = 2 and
y 0 (0) = 2C1 +C2 = 0 which give C1 = 2 and C2 = 4. The solution is y = 2e2x 4xe2x .

Assume a particular solution of the form yp = Ax2 + Bx + C. Substituting into the DE, we
have
2A + Ax2 + Bx + C = 16x2 .
Equating coefficients, we get 2A+C = 0, B = 0, and A = 16. This gives C = 32. Therefore,
yp = 16x2 32. The general solution is y = yc + yp = C1 cos 2x + C2 sin 2x + 16x2 32.

25. The auxiliary equation is m2 /4 + m + 1 = 0 or (m + 2)2 = 0, so m = 2, 2 and x(t) =


C1 e2t + C2 te2t and x0 (t) = 2C1 e2t 2C2 te2t + C2 e2t . Using the initial conditions, we
obtain 4 = C1 and 2 = 2C1 +C2 . Thus, C1 = 4 and C2 = 10. Therefore x(t) = 4e2t +10te2t
and x0 (t) = 2e2t 20te2t . Setting x0 (t) = 0 we obtain the critical point t = 1/10. The
maximum vertical displacement is x(1/10) = 5e0.2 4.0937.
