verify that y=C1eaxcosbx+C2eaxsinbx,where C1and C2are arbitary constant, is a solution of the differential equation d2y/dx2-2a(dy/dx)+(a2+b2)y =0. Share with your friends Share 1 Manbar Singh answered this We have, y = C1eax cos bx + C2eax sin bx⇒y = eax C1. cos bx + C2 sin bx ........1differentiating 1, with respect to x, we get⇒dydx = eax-b C1 sin bx + b C2 cos bx+C1 cos bx + C2 sin bxaeax⇒dydx =beaxC2 cos bx -C1 sin bx + ay using 1 .........2differentiating 2, with respect to x, we get d2ydx2 =beax-b C2 sin bx-b C1 cos bx+C2 cos bx -C1 sin bxabeax + adydx⇒d2ydx2 =-b2eaxC1 cos bx+C2 sin bx +abeaxC2 cos bx -C1 sin bx+ adydx⇒d2ydx2 =-b2y + abeaxC2 cos bx -C1 sin bx+ adydx ..........3From 2, we getbeaxC2 cos bx -C1 sin bx =dydx - ay ............4from 3 and 4, we get d2ydx2 =-b2y +adydx - ay +adydx⇒d2ydx2 =-b2y +adydx - a2y +adydx⇒d2ydx2 =2adydx - a2+b2y⇒d2ydx2-2adydx + a2+b2y = 0 1 View Full Answer
