MTH401 Assignment 1 Solution Fall 2019

Question 1
d2y dy
If y1  e x is a solution of 2
 2  y  0, then find its second solution using the formula.
dx dx
 P x  dx
e 
y2  x   y 1  x   dx
y1 2  x 
Solution:

Given differential equation can be written as….

y  2 y  y  0 …………………………….. (I)

Given that: y1  e x ……………………………… (i)

Then the second equation is

 P x  dx
e 
y2  x   y 1  x   dx ………………….. (II)
y1 2  x 

Standard form of D.E is

y  p( x) y  Q( x) y  0

And the p(x)=-2

Then by the ……………………….. (II)

 2 dx
e 
y2  e x
dx
e2
e2 x
y2  e x  2 x dx
e
y2  e x  dx
y2  e x . x
y2  xe x

Hence the differential equation is

Y= y1 c1 + y2 c2 = c1e x + c2 xe x
Question 2

Determine whether y  x 2e x , is a solution of the differential equation 2 y '' 4 y ' 2 y  0 or not.

Solution

As given

2 y '' 4 y ' 2 y  0 ……………….. ( 1 )

y  x 2e x ………………………….. ( i )

Differentiating ( i ) w.r.t “x”

y  x 2e x  2 xe x ……………………….. ( ii )
Again differentiation

y  x 2e x  2 xe x  2 xe x  2e x
………………………….. ( iii )
y  x 2e x  4 xe x  2e x

Putting equations (ii) and (iii) in equation ( 1 )

2( x 2e x  4 xe x  2e x )  4( x 2e x  2 xe x )  2( x 2e x )  0
2 x 2e x  8 xe x  4e x  4 x 2e x  8 xe x  2 x 2e x  0
4 x 2e x  4 x 2e x  4e x  0
4e x  0

The given y  x 2e x is not the solution of D.E.
