Math Problem Statement

Solve the following differential equation by the method of Laplace transforms: y" + 2y' + 5y = 3e~ x sin x, y(0) = 0 and y'(0) = 3. show all steps

Solution

We are given the differential equation:

y+2y+5y=3exsinxy'' + 2y' + 5y = 3e^x \sin x

with initial conditions:

y(0)=0,y(0)=3y(0) = 0, \quad y'(0) = 3

We will solve this using the Laplace transform step by step.


Step 1: Apply the Laplace transform to both sides of the equation

Recall the Laplace transform formulas for derivatives:

L{y(t)}=s2Y(s)sy(0)y(0)\mathcal{L}\{y''(t)\} = s^2 Y(s) - sy(0) - y'(0)

L{y(t)}=sY(s)y(0)\mathcal{L}\{y'(t)\} = s Y(s) - y(0)

Substituting the initial conditions y(0)=0y(0) = 0 and y(0)=3y'(0) = 3, we get:

L{y(t)}=s2Y(s)3\mathcal{L}\{y''(t)\} = s^2 Y(s) - 3

L{y(t)}=sY(s)\mathcal{L}\{y'(t)\} = s Y(s)

L{y(t)}=Y(s)\mathcal{L}\{y(t)\} = Y(s)

Thus, applying the Laplace transform to the differential equation:

(s2Y(s)3)+2(sY(s))+5Y(s)=L{3exsinx}(s^2 Y(s) - 3) + 2(s Y(s)) + 5 Y(s) = \mathcal{L}\{3e^x \sin x\}


Step 2: Take the Laplace transform of the right-hand side

We use the known Laplace transform formula:

L{eatsin(bt)}=b(sa)2+b2\mathcal{L}\{e^{at} \sin(bt)\} = \frac{b}{(s-a)^2 + b^2}

For 3exsinx3e^x \sin x, where a=1a = 1 and b=1b = 1:

L{3exsinx}=3(1)(s1)2+12=3(s1)2+1\mathcal{L}\{3e^x \sin x\} = \frac{3(1)}{(s-1)^2 + 1^2} = \frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1}


Step 3: Solve for Y(s)Y(s)

Substituting everything into the transformed equation:

s2Y(s)3+2sY(s)+5Y(s)=3(s1)2+1s^2 Y(s) - 3 + 2s Y(s) + 5 Y(s) = \frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1}

(s2+2s+5)Y(s)=3(s1)2+1+3(s^2 + 2s + 5) Y(s) = \frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1} + 3

Y(s)=3(s1)2+1+3s2+2s+5Y(s) = \frac{\frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1} + 3}{s^2 + 2s + 5}


Step 4: Partial fraction decomposition (if applicable)

Rewriting the numerator:

3(s1)2+1+3=3+3[(s1)2+1](s1)2+1\frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1} + 3 = \frac{3 + 3[(s-1)^2 + 1]}{(s-1)^2 + 1}

=3s26s+6(s1)2+1= \frac{3s^2 - 6s + 6}{(s-1)^2 + 1}

Thus, the equation for Y(s)Y(s) becomes:

Y(s)=3(s1)2+1+3s2+2s+5Y(s) = \frac{\frac{3}{(s-1)^2 + 1} + 3}{s^2 + 2s + 5}

This expression can now be simplified further and inverted using known inverse Laplace formulas.


Step 5: Inverse Laplace transform

The solution y(t)y(t) can be found by taking the inverse Laplace transform of Y(s)Y(s), using known inverse formulas and convolution theorems.
