Answer

The general solution to the given differential equation is;

y=c1e12t+c2e-12t-13tsint-49cost

1Firstly, write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation

The given differential equation is,

2y''-y=tsint......1

Write the homogeneous differential equation of the equation (1),

2y''-y=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation 2m2-1=0.

2Now find the roots of the auxiliary equation

Solve the auxiliary equation,

2m2-1=02m2=1m2=12m=±12

The roots of the auxiliary equation are m1=12,m2=-12.

The complementary solution of the given equation is yc=c1e12t+c2e-12t.

3Now, find the particular solution to find a general solution for the equation.

Assume, the particular solution of equation (1),

ypt=Atsint+Btcost+Ccost+Dsint......2

Now find the derivative of the above equation,

yp't=Atcost+Asint-Btsint+Bcost-Csint+Dcostyp't=At+B+Dcost+A-Bt-Csintyp''t=-At+B+Dsint+Acost+A-Bt-Ccost+-Bsintyp''t=-At+2B+Dsint+2A-Bt-Ccost

Substitute the value of ypt,yp't and yp''t in the equation (1),

2y''-y=tsint2-At+2B+Dsint+2A-Bt-Ccost-Atsint+Btcost+Ccost+Dsint=tsint-3Atsint-4B+3Dsint+4A-3Ccost-3Btcost=tsint

Comparing the all coefficients of the above equation,

-3A=1A=-13-3Bt=0B=04B+3D=0......34A-3C=0......4

Substitute the value of B in the equation (3),

4B+3D=040+3D=0D=0

Substitute the value of A in the equation (4),

 4A-3C=04-13-3C=03C=4-13C=-49

Substitute the value of A, B, C and D in the equation (2),

ypt=Atsint+Btcost+Ccost+Dsintypt=-13tsint+0tcost+-49cost+0sintypt=-13tsint-49cost

Therefore, the particular solution of equation (1),

ypt=-13tsint-49cost


4Final conclusion, the general solution

Therefore, the general solution is,

y=yct+ypty=c1e12t+c2e-12t-13tsint-49cost
