I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm in my second year of uni and I feel embarrassed to ask this question, because I SHOULD know it.
i have to solve this second order ODE:
dx2d2y+dcdy−2y=−2y(0)=1 y(1)=2 find
y(0.2)the thing that's annoying me is that 2.
What do we do with it?
Here's what I've done so far:
associated homogeneous equation:
y′′+y′−2y=0so
m=−2,1complementary solution:
Yc=C1ex+C2e−2xnow for the particular solution:
Yp=A so
Yp′=yp′′=0and substituting that in i get A =1 so
Yp=1to satisfy the initial conditions we want,
C1+C2=1 C1e+C2e−2x=2so
C2=1−e3e2 and
1−1−e3e2and now
y=C1ex+C2e−2x+1y(0.2)=3.1446 but the answer is 1.49588
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
