If y = 3 x + x2 + 8ex

is a solution of a homogeneous fourth-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients, then the roots of the auxiliary equation are?

2) Use systematic elimination to solve the following system:

Any help in producing the correct answers would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

dx/dt = 2x + y + t 2 dy/dt = 3x + 4y 4t

Explanation / Answer

1. y = 3 – x +x2 + 8ex

The equation is of the form

Y = (C1 + C2x + C3x2 )emx + C4 enx

Where, m is repeated root (thrice) and n is the fourth root

On comparing,

C1 = 3 , C2 = -1, C3 = 1 , C4 = 8, m = 0, n = 1

The roots are 0, 0, 0, 1
