Answer

The solution to the given non-homogeneous equation (1-t)y''+ty'-y=(1-t)2  is y=c1et+c2t

.

1Step 1: Find the value of Y

Given differential equation is (1-t)y''+ty'-y=(1-t)2then the standard form of the solution is y''+t1-ty'-11-ty=11-tand ft=t is one of the solutions and p(t)=t1-t

Then y2=y1(t)e-p(t)dty12(t)dt

2Step 2: Simplification

Simplify the above.

te-t1-tdt(t)2dt=teln(t-1)+tt2=t×(t-1)×ett2=t×ett=et


So, the solution is y=c1et+c2t
