We need to solve.
y y=coshx
Let's determine how to solve the related homogeneous equation y y=0. The auxiliarly equation is m21=0 and its solutions are m1=1 and m2=1. The complementary solution is then
yc(x)=c1ex+c2ex
The functions y1(x)=ex and y2(x)=ex form a fundamental set
The Wro
ian is
W(y1,y2)=|y1y2y1y2|=|exexexex|=1+1=2
Considering that the specific solution has the form yp=u1y1+u2y2, where u1(x) and u2(x)are the system of equations' solutions.
y1u1+y2u2=0
y1u1+y2u2=f(x)
and f(x)=coshx is the input function, and using Cramer's rule,
u1=y2f(x)W, and u2=y1f(x)W
where W is the Wro
ian. Therefore,
u1(x)=excoshx2=14e2x14
u2(x)=excoshx2=14+14e2x
Following integration of both equations, we have
u1(x)=18e2x14x, u2(x)=14x18e2x
The particular solution is then
