Now the characteristic equation of the differential equation is:
m2+1=0
m=±i
Roots are complex. Therefore the complementary solution is:
yc=C1cos(x)+C2sin(x)
Now the fundamental solution set is:
y1=cos(x) and y2=sin(x)
Now the wronskian of the solution set is:
W(x)=y1y2y1y2
W(x)=1
Now using method of variation of parameter the particular solution to the given non−homogeneous differential equation is:
yp=y1y2csc(x)W(x)dx+y2y1csc(x)W(x)dx
yp=cos(x)sin(x)csc(x)dx+sin(x)cos(x)csc(x)dx
yp=cos(x)dx+sin(x)cot(x)dx
yp=xcos(x)+sin(x)ln|sin(x)|
Hence the general solution is:
y(x)=yc+yp
y(x)=C1cos(x)+C2sin(x)xcos(x)+sin(x)ln|sin(x)|

For the equation (D2+1)y=csc(x) the function g(x)=sinx is solution of the homogeneous part ,i.e. g+g=0. Then take y=g(x)V(x) and substitute in the equation. Obtain (g+g)V+2gV+gV=1g. Then V+2cot(x)V=1/(sinx)2.
This is a first order equation for V’(x).
The integrating factor is (sinx)2 and the solution is V(x)=(1(sinx)2) [ Integral of ((sinx)2(sinx)2)dx+C]=x+C(sinx)2
Integrating obtain V(x)=ln(sinx)(C+x)cot(x)+D. Then the solution is y=sin(x)[ln(sinx)+D](C+x)cos(x).
