𝑦 ′′ + 𝑎𝑦 ′ + 𝑏𝑦 = 𝑟 𝑥 (1)

Assume an expression of 𝑦𝑝 similar to 𝑟(𝑥 containing unknown coefficients, which are


determined by inserting 𝑦𝑝 and it ′ s derivatives into (1)
Example 11:

Example 12:

• Solve: 𝑦 ′′ +4𝑦 = 8𝑥 2

𝑦𝑝 = 𝑘1 𝑥 2 + 𝑘2 𝑥 + 𝑘3

𝑦𝑝′ = 2𝑘1 𝑥 + 𝑘2

𝑦𝑝′′ = 2𝑘1

⇒ 2𝑘1 + 4 𝑘1 𝑥 2 + 𝑘2 𝑥 + 𝑘3 = 8𝑥 2
2𝑘1 + 4𝑘3 + 4𝑘1 𝑥 2 + 4𝑘2 𝑥 = 8𝑥 2
Example 12 (Cont…)

• Equate coefficients of 𝑥 2 , 𝑥 and 𝑥 0

4𝑘1 = 8 ⇒ 𝑘1 = 2

4𝑘2 = 0 ⇒ 𝑘2 = 0

2𝑘1 + 4𝑘3 = 0 2 × 2 + 4𝑘3 = 0 ; 𝑘3 = −1

∴ 𝑦𝑝 = 2𝑥 2 − 1

𝑦ℎ = 𝐴 cos 2𝑥 + 𝐵𝑠𝑖𝑛 2𝑥
∴ 𝑦 = 𝐴 cos 2𝑥 + 𝐵 sin 2𝑥 + 2𝑥 2 − 1
Example 13:

𝑦𝑝 = 𝐾 cos 𝑥 + 𝑀 sin 𝑥

𝑦𝑝′ = −𝐾 sin 𝑥 + 𝑀 cos 𝑥

𝑦𝑝′′ = −𝐾 cos 𝑥 − 𝑀 sin 𝑥

−𝐾 cos 𝑥 − 𝑀 sin 𝑥 − 𝐾 sin 𝑥 + 𝑀 cos 𝑥 − 2 𝐾 cos 𝑥 + 𝑀 sin 𝑥 = 10 cos 𝑥

⇒ −3𝐾 − 𝑀 = 10 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐾 − 3𝑀 = 0

∴ 𝐾 = −3 ; 𝑀 = −1 ; 𝑦𝑝 = −3 cos 𝑥 − 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥

𝑦 = 𝑐1 𝑒 −𝑥 + 𝑐2 𝑒 2𝑥 − 3 cos 𝑥 − sin 𝑥
Example 14:

Solve: 𝑦 ′′ − 2𝑦 ′ + 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 + 𝑥
