Question statement

Method of undetermined coefficients:

Find the solution of:
\[\simplify[std]{(d^2y/dx^2)+{2*a}*(dy/dx)+{a^2}y}=0\]
which satisfies $y(0)=\var{c}$ and $y(1)=\var{d}$.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

Solution is:

$y=\;\;$Unnamed gap

Input all numbers correct to 3 decimal places.

Your solution is graphed above once you have input the solution before submitting.

Note that the points $(0,\var{c}),\;(1,\var{d})$ which the curve has to go through are marked on the graph.

Advice

The auxillary equation is $\simplify[std]{lambda^2+{2*a}lambda+{a^2}}=0$.

On solving this equation we get $\lambda=\var{-a}$ twice.

Hence the general solution is:
\[y = \simplify[std]{A*e^({-a}x)+B*x*e^({-a}x)}\]
The boundary conditions give:

$y(0)=\var{c} \Rightarrow A=\var{c}$

$y(1)=\var{d} \Rightarrow \simplify[std]{Ae^{-a}+Be^{-a}={d}}\Rightarrow A+B = \simplify[std1]{{d}e^{a}}$

So $B=\simplify[std1]{{d}e^{a}-{c}}=\var{f1}$ to 3 decimal places.

Hence the solution is:
\[y=\simplify[std1]{(({c} * Exp(({( - a)} * x))) + ({f1} * x * Exp(({( - a)} * x))))}\]
