Document Summary
Write your name on the back of your test. 1. (10) use the guess and test method to solve the second order di erential equation initial value problem: d2y dt2 + 6 dy dt. + 8y = 0, y(0) = 2, y (0) = 1. Solution: we try the solution y1(t) = est. Substituting in to the di erential equation: s2est + 6sest + 8est = 0 (s2 + 6s + 8)est = 0 s2 + 6s + 8 = 0 (s + 4)(s + 2) = 0. We have solutions of the form y(t) = ae 2t + be 4t where a and b are constants that depend on the initial conditions. From the initial conditions, y(0) = 2 = a + b y (0) = 1 = 2a 4b. To check that this solution is correct, we di erentiate it and substitute it in to the original di erential equation: y (t) = 7e 2t.
