To solve the given third-order linear differential equation yy=4ex+3e2x with the initial conditions x=0, y=0, y=1, and y=2, we can use the method of solving linear homogeneous differential equations with constant coefficients.
The characteristic equation corresponding to the differential equation is:
r3r=0
Factoring out r, we have:
r(r21)=0
This equation has three roots: r1=0, r2=1, and r3=1.
Therefore, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
yh(x)=c1e0x+c2e1x+c3e1x
Simplifying, we have:
yh(x)=c1+c2ex+c3ex
To find the particular solution, we need to consider the non-homogeneous term 4ex+3e2x.
For the particular solution, we assume a solution of the form yp(x)=Aex+Be2x, where A and B are constants to be determined.
Taking derivatives of yp(x), we have:
yp(x)=Aex+2Be2x
yp(x)=Aex+4Be2x
yp(x)=Aex+8Be2x
Substituting these derivatives back into the original differential equation, we have:
(Aex+8Be2x)(Aex+2Be2x)=4ex+3e2x
Simplifying, we get:
6Be2x=4ex+3e2x
To equate the coefficients of the exponential terms on both sides, we have the following system of equations:
2A+6B=4
8B=3
Solving this system of equations, we find:
A=76 and B=38
Therefore, the particular solution is:
yp(x)=76ex+38e2x
The complete solution is the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions:
y(x)=yh(x)+yp(x)
y(x)=c1+c2ex+c3ex76ex+38e2x
Now, we can use the initial conditions to determine the values of the constants c1, c2, and c3.
Given that x=0, y=0, y=1, and y=2, we substitute these values into the complete solution and its derivatives:
y(0)=c1+c2+c376+38=0
y(0)=c2c3+76+34=1
y(0)=c2+c3+76+32=2
Simplifying these equations, we have a system of linear equations:
c1+c2+c3=2524
c2c3=2524
c2+c3=116
We can solve this system to find the values of c1, c2, and c3. Adding the second and third equations, we get:
2c2=1162524
Simplifying further:
2c2=22242524
2c2=324
2c2=18
c2=116
Substituting this value back into the second equation, we find:
116c3=2524
c3=2524+116
c3=2524+348
c3=2524+116
c3=5048+348
c3=4748
Finally, substituting the values of c2 and c3 back into the first equation, we have:
c11164748=2524
c1=2524+116+4748
c1=10096+696+9496
c1=20096
c1=2512
Therefore, the solution to the given differential equation with the specified initial conditions is:
y(x)=2512+(116)ex(4748)ex76ex+38e2x
