Consider the IVP for the function y given by y" + 12y' + 32y = 0, y(0) = -3, y'(0) = -2. (2/10) Find the roots of the characteristic polynomial, r+ and r-, larger and smaller or equal or conjugate, respectively, r+ = r- = (2/10) Find real-valued fundamental solutions to the differential equation, y+(t) = y-(t) = (2/10) Use the fundamental solutions in (b) to find the general solution to the differential equation, (use constant names c and d to construct the general solution), ygen (t) = (4/10) Find the solution y of the initial value problem, y(t) =Explanation / Answer
The Characteristic polynomial is D^2 + 12 + 32 = 0
This factors as (D + 4)(D+8) = 0, which means roots are -8 and -4
a)
r+ = -4
r- = -8
Thus, associate with r+ = -4 is the fundamental solution
b)
y+(t) = e^-4t and y-(t) = e^-8t
Thus,
c)
ygen(t) = ce^-4t + de^-8t
Then,
d) as y(0) = -3 and y'(0) = -2
From ygent(t)) = ce^-4t + de^-8t
ygen(0) = ce^-4*0 + de^-8*0 = ce^0+de^0 = c*1 + d*1 = c + d
Thus, as y(0) = -3, c + d = -3
y'(t) = -4ce^-4t -8de^-8t
Thus, y'(0) = -4ce^-4*0 -8de^-8*0 = -4ce^0 -8de^0 = -4c*1 -8d*1 = -4c - 8d
As y'0) = -2,
-4c - 8d = -2
Thus, we have the 2 equations
c + d = -3
-4c - 8d = -2
Multiplying the top equation by 4
4c + 4d = -12
Adding the 2 equations,
-4d = -14
d = 7/2
Then, c + d = -3, so
c + 7/2 = -3
c = -3 - 7/2
c = -13/2
Thus, the general solution is
ce^-4t + de^-8t =
-13/2e^-4t + 7/2e^-8t
