Q4E

Question

In Problems 1 through 4, use Theorem 5 to discuss the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the differential equation that satisfies the initial conditions y(1)=Yo,y'(1)=Y1, where Yo and Y1 are real constants.

ety''-1t-3y'+y=lnt

Step-by-Step Solution

Verified
Answer

The differential equation has a unique solution in 0<t<3.

1Step 1: Find the value of p(t),q(t),g(t)

The given differential equation is ety''-1t-3y'+y=lnt.

 

It can be written as y''-y'et(t-3)+yet(t-3)=lntet(t-3).

 

So, p(t)=-1et(t-3),q(t)=1et(t-3),g(t)=lntet(t-3)

2Step 2: Check the result

Here p(t),q(t),g(t) are continuous functions in the interval 0<t<3and3<t< and the point t0=1 in the continuity interval 0<t<3

 

Therefore, the differential equation has a unique solution in 0<t<3

 

This is the required result.
