d2y
dt2+ 4
dy
dt+ 20y = e−t/2
(a) The associated homogeneous equation isd2y
dt2+ 4
dy
dt+ 20y = 0. First compute the general solution for yh(t).
The characteristic equation is s2 + 4s+ 20 = 0, which gives s = −2± 4i. So, yh(t) = e−2t(k1 cos 4t+ k2 sin 4t).
Now, let yp(t) be a particular solution for αe−t/2. Then we have:
d2
dt2(αe−t/2) + 4
d
dt(αe−t/2) + 20(αe−t/2) = e−t/2
⇒ 1
4αe−t/2 + 4
(−1
2αe−t/2
)+ 20(αe−t/2) = e−t/2
⇒ e−t/2(α
4− 2α+ 20α
)= e−t/2
⇒ α
4− 2α+ 20α = 1
⇒ α =4
73.
So, yp(t) =4
73e−t/2. Since y(t) = yh(t) + yp(t), we now know that:
y(t) = e−2t(k1 cos 4t+ k2 sin 4t) +4
73e−t/2.
(b) Let t = 0. Then y(0) = 0 = k1 +4
73, which implies that k1 =
−4
73. Calculate k2 using y′(0) = 0:
y′(0) = 0 = −2k1 + 4k2 −2

⇒ −4k2 = −2

d2y
dt2+ 3
dy
dt+ 2y = e−t − 4
(a) The associated homogeneous equation isd2y
dt2+ 3
dy
dt+ 2y = 0, whose characteristic equation is s2 + 3s+ 2y = 0,
1
which gives s = −1,−2. Thus yh(t) = k1e−t + k2e
−2t. Let yp(t) = αte−t + c be a particular solution. Then:
d2
dt2(αte−t + c) + 3
d
dt(αte−t + c) + 2(αte−t + c) = e−t − 4
You should get α = 1 and c = −2. Thus, y(t) = k1e−t + k2e
−2t + te−t − 2.
(b) Using the initial conditions we get:
k1 + k2 − 2 = 0 and −k1 − 2k2 + 1 = 0.
Thus, k1 = 3 and k2 = −1. So, y(t) = 3e−t − e−2t + te−t − 2.
(c) As t→∞, y(t)→ −2.

6. Find the general solution of the given equation:
d2y
dt2+ 6
dy
dt+ 8y = −4 cos 3t
Its associated homogeneous linear equation isd2y
dt2+ 6
dy
dt+ 8y = 0. The characteristic equation is s2 + 6s+ 8 = 0,
which means that s = −4,−2. Thus, yh(t) = k1e−2t + k2e
−4t. Now, let yp(t) = a cos 3t+ b sin 3t. Then wehave:
d2
dt2(a cos 3t+ b sin 3t) + 4
d
dt(a cos 3t+ b sin 3t) + 20(a cos 3t+ b sin 3t) = −4 cos 3t
⇒ −9a cos 3t− 9b sin 3t+ 6(−3a sin 3t+ 3b cos 3t) + 8(a cos 3t+ b sin 3t) = −4 cos 3t
(−a+ 18b) cos 3t+ (−18a− b) sin 3t = −4 cos 3t.
So, −a+ 18b = 4 and −18a− b = 0⇒ a =4
325and b =
−72
325. Since y(t) = yh(t) + yp(t), the general solution is:
y(t) = k1e−2t + k2e
−4t +4
325cos 3t− 72
325sin 3t.
12. Find the solution of the given initial-value problem:
d2y
dt2+ 6
dy
dt+ 8y = 2 cos 3t, y(0) = y′(0) = 0.
We know from 4.2.6 above that yh(t) = k1e−2t + k2e
−4t. Let yp(t) = a cos 3t+ b sin 3t. We have:
−a+ 18b = 2 and −18a− b = 0
⇒ a = − 2
325and b =
36
325.
Thus, our general solution is y(t) = k1e−2t + k2e
−4t − 2
325cos 3t+
36
325sin 3t. Using the initial condition y(0) = 0,
we get:
0 = k1 + k2 −2
325and 0 = −2k1 − 4k2 +
108
325.
Solving these equations gives k1 =−2
13and k2 =

10. Compute the solution of the given initial-value problem:d2y
dt2+ 4y = 3 cos(2t), y(0) = y′(0) = 0.
Consider the complex version of this equation:d2y
dt2+ 4y = 3e2it. Guess yc(t) = ate2it as a particular solution.
(Why won’t yc(t) = ae2it work? Check it!) Then y′′c (t) = ae2it(4i−4t). Plugging this back into the equation we get:
ae2it(4i− 4t) + 4ate2it = 3e2it
4iae2it = 3e2it
So, yc(t) is a solution if a =3
4i=−3i
4. Taking the real part of yc(t) =
−3i
4it(cos(2t) + i sin(2t)), we obtain
y(t) =3
4t sin(2t) as a solution of the original equation. To find the general solution of the homogeneous equation,
we note that the characteristic polynomial is s2 + 4 = 0, which has roots s = ±2i. Hence, the general solution ofthe original equation is:
y(t) = k1 cos(2t) + k2 sin(2t) +3
4t sin(2t)
Using the initial conditions y(0) = y′(0) = 0, find that k1 = 0 and k2 = 0, which means the solution of the IVP is:
y(t) =3
4t sin(2t).
16. Use the following equation:
d2y
dt2+ 11y = 2 cos(3t)
(a) The characteristic polynomial of the unforced equation is s2 + 11, which has roots s = ±i√
11. So the natural
frequency is
√11
2πand the forcing frequency is
3
2π. The frequency of the beats is
√11− 3
4π.
(b) The frequency of the rapid oscillations is
√11 + 3
4π.
