1) Find the general solution to the following second order linear homoge-
neous di¤erential equations:

(a) t2 y 00 + 3ty 0 + y = 0, t > 0, y1 = t 1

;

(b) ty 00 y 0 + 4t3 y = 0, t > 0, y1 = cos t2 ;

(c) (t 1) y 00 ty 0 + y = 0, t > 1, y1 = et ;

(d) y 00 6y 0 + 9y = 0, y (0) = 0, y 0 (0) = 2

(do not use the eigenvalue stu¤).

2) Find the general solution to the following second order linear nonhomo-
geneous di¤erential equations:

(a) t2 y 00 2y = 4t2 3; t > 0.

(b) y 00 + 4y = 3 csc (2t) ; 0 < t < =2:
