Solve the following ODE by using the method of undetermined coefficients in which Euler's formula needs to be utilized:
The way that I solved this doesn't involve Euler's formula, and I was wondering how I might use the formula here.
My approach:
The formula can be written as where is the "homogeneous version" of the ODE and is the particular solution that we'll obtain via the basic rule of the method of undetermined coefficients.
:
Putting in the original equation, the ODE we need to solve is:
where we can set the general solution as and obtain the characteristic equation:
which has a real double root, hence giving us the solution:
:
Judging by the fact that is shape and we know that we can set the general solution to be of form:
substituting these equations into the original equation and then simplifying gives us:
And in conclusion, we can write that the solution to the given ODE is:
How would we be able to derive this conclusion via Euler's formula? Thanks in advance.
