Question

Questions a, b, and c below for the following info:

I have attempted to answer, but it really does not seem to be correct?? A detailed answer with explanation would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

____________________________________________________________

y1=x^2

y2=x^2lnx


y''-(3/x)y'+(4/x^2)y=4


a)Show that y1 and y2 form a fundamental set of solutions of the reduced equation

b)Find a particular solution of the given equation

c)Find a general solution of the given equation

_____________________________________________________________

a)

W =(matrix) x^2     x^2lnx

                         2x      2xlnx+x

W= 2x^3 lnx +x^3 - 2x^3 lnx

= x^3 ~= 0


b)

y = Ax^2 + Bx + C

y' = 2Ax + B

y'' = 2A

plug into DE

x^2(2A-3A+4A) +x(3B+4B)+4C=4

3A=0     7B=0      4C=4

A=0         B=0        C=1


z=1


c)

x^2(y''-(3/x)y'+(4/x^2)y=o)

x^2y''-3xy'+4y=0

x^2r^2 - 3xr + 4r = 0

(xr + 1)(xr - 4)

r = -1/x, 4/x


y = C1 e^(-1/x) + C2 e^(4/x) + 1

Explanation / Answer

i believe that a and c are wrong i solved them below.
____________________________________________________________

y1=x^2

y2=x^2lnx


y''-(3/x)y'+(4/x^2)y=4


a)Show that y1 and y2 form a fundamental set of solutions of the reduced equation

b)Find a particular solution of the given equation

c)Find a general solution of the given equation

_____________________________________________________________

a)

y''-(3/x)y'+(4/x^2)y=4

y1 = x^2

y1' = 2x

y1'' = 2

put in above DE

2 - (3/x) 2x + (4/x^2) x^2 = 0

2 -3*2 + 4 = 0 so Y1 is solution

x^2y''-3xy'+4y=0

y2 = x^2 lnx

y2' = x^2/x + 2x lnx = x + 2x lnx

y2'' = 1 + 2x/x + 2lnx = 3 + 2lnx

x^2 ( 3 + 2 lnx ) - 3x ( x + 2x lnx ) + 4 x^2 lnx =

= 3x^2 + 2x^2 lnx - 3x^2 -6x^2 lnx + 4x^2 lnx = 0

so y2 also forms fundamental solution.


b)

y = Ax^2 + Bx + C

y' = 2Ax + B

y'' = 2A

plug into DE

x^2(2A-3A+4A) +x(3B+4B)+4C=4

3A=0 7B=0 4C=4

A=0 B=0 C=1


z=1


c)

x^2(y''-(3/x)y'+(4/x^2)y=o)

x^2y''-3xy'+4y=0

this is cauchy euler DE

with b = -3 and c = 4
thus

auxliry equation is

r^2 + (-3-1) r + 4 = 0

r^2 -4r+4 = 0

(r-2)^2 = 0

r = 2,2 now

solution will be

y = ( C1 + C2 ln(x) ) x^2
