Document Summary

Compilation of notes covering the basics of second order differential equations. Now, we will be looking at second order differential equations of the form (cid:1853) +(cid:1854) (cid:1855)= (cid:4666)(cid:1872)(cid:4667). Let"s look at some examples: +(cid:884)(cid:887)=(cid:882) exponential function (cid:3051). So now all we need to do is get the exponent correctly. If you take the derivative twice, you end up with (cid:884)(cid:887)(cid:2871). A more general solution is (cid:4666)(cid:1872)(cid:4667)=(cid:1853)(cid:2873)+(cid:1854) (cid:2873): let"s now solve the same problem with some initial conditions. (cid:4666)(cid:882)(cid:4667)=(cid:887) and (cid:4666)(cid:882)(cid:4667)=(cid:884)(cid:882). So we need to take the derivative of the general solution first. Now we plug in the initial conditions. (cid:884)(cid:882)=(cid:884)(cid:887) (cid:887)(cid:1854) (cid:887)(cid:1854)=(cid:884)(cid:887) (cid:883)(cid:882)(cid:1854) So (cid:1853)=(cid:887) (cid:1854) and we can plug that into the first equation and solve for (cid:1854). And the particular solution for this problem is (cid:4666)(cid:1872)(cid:4667)=9(cid:2870)(cid:2873)+(cid:2869)(cid:2870) (cid:2873) All solutions of the form (cid:1853) +(cid:1854) +(cid:1855)=(cid:882) have a solution of the form (cid:4666)(cid:1872)(cid:4667)=(cid:3050) where is some constant. But we kind of guessed our way to a solution.
