Find the particular integral of (D^2 + 4D + 4)y = e^(-2x) + x^2
Solution
To find the particular integral of the differential equation:
where represents the differential operator , let's break it down step-by-step.
Step 1: Solve the Homogeneous Equation
First, solve the homogeneous part of the equation:
This is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation. We solve the corresponding characteristic equation:
Factoring this:
This gives a repeated root . Therefore, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is:
where and are constants.
Step 2: Solve for the Particular Integral
Now, we find the particular integral for the non-homogeneous equation:
We will tackle the right-hand side term by term.
For :
Notice that the function appears on the right-hand side, which is also part of the homogeneous solution. Therefore, we multiply by (here, ) to account for the repeated root.
We assume the particular solution for this term to be:
where is a constant to be determined.
