Differential Equations: Lecture 4.6 Variation of Parameters

This is a classroom lecture on differential equations. I covered section 4.6 which is on variation of parameters. I hope this is helpful. These lectures follow the book A First Course in Differential Equations by Dennis Zill. This is a great book for learning differential equations. Here is the book amzn.to/4ajOMyW (affiliate link).

    You're telling me I spent almost 2 months trying to understand variation of parameters when this was here the whole time and actually helped me understand and remember the steps? With a difficult problem no less? Kicking myself for not watching this sooner, thank you so much!

    I don't get why teachers can't just give a succinct summary of the steps before explaining any technicalities. Honestly, I feel like math is just a bunch of gatekeeping.

    this is what simplify means in this context, say we had c_1e^x + c_2e^(2x) + 3e^x + 5e^(2x), which you could write as (c_1 + 3)e^x + (c_2 + 5)e^(2x), then rename things c_3e^x + c_4 e^(2x), where c_3 = c_1 + 3 and c_4 + c_2 + 5 so basically one can make this jump, c_1e^x + c_2e^(2x) + 3e^x + 5e^(2x) = c_3e^x + c_4 e^(2x) I usually tell my class they can do this since it's understood what was done, but yeah, use with caution. If it was me and I was taking a class I'd show that middle step:)

    Question, so in order to use the variation of parameters and undetermined coefficients, you can not have functions of x Infront of the y double prime and y prime? like you cant have (X^2)Y'' +(X)Y' = 3X^2. would you only be able to solve those with Cauchy Euler method or annihilator method?

    You can, as long as you know the two fundamental solutions to the homogeneous part, which is the challenging part to solve. You can use the Laplace transform for DE's with x in front of either of the derivatives. There is a property that relates derivatives in the s-world, to t-multiplying in the t-world. It's tradition to replace s with p, when we use x. For your example, I'd reduce the order of the DE. Let v = y', and rewrite in terms of v: x^2*v' + x*v = 3*x^2 Divide thru by x^2: v' + v/x = 3 This we can solve with first order methods: v(x) = C1/x + (3*x)/2 Integrate to find y(x): y(x) = C1*ln(|x|) + 3/4*x^2 + C2

    You can, but there's really no need to do so, since the forcing function only consists of sine functions. Given: y" + 2*y' + 10*y = 17*sin(x) - 37*sin(3*x) Find the homogeneous solution: yh" + 2*yh' + 10*yh = 0 yh = e^(r*x) (r^2 + 2*r + 10)*e^(r*x) = 0 (r^2 + 2*r + 10) = 0 r = -1 +/- sqrt(1 - 10) r = -1 +/- 3*i This means: yh = A*cos(3*x)*e^(-x) + B*sin(3*x)*e^(-x) For the particular solution, since both homogeneous solutions are independent of the right side, we can use RHS terms directly. Thus: yp = C*cos(x) + D*sin(x) + E*cos(3*x) + F*sin(3*x) Take derivatives of yp, and gather like terms: yp' = -C*sin(x) + D*cos(x) - 3*E*sin(3*x) + 3*F*cos(3*x) yp" = -C*cos(x) - D*sin(x) - 9*E*cos(3 x) - 9*F*sin(3*x) Apply to diffEQ: yp" + 2*yp' + 10*yp = 17*sin(x) - 37*sin(3*x) Set up equations to match coefficients: cos(x): -C + 2*D + 10*C = 0 sin(x): -D - 2*C + 10*D = 17 cos(3*x): -9*E + 6*F + 10*E = 0 sin(3*x): -9*F - 6*E + 10*F = -37 Solutions: C = -2/5, D = 9/5, E = 6, F = -1 Using y = yh + yp, the general solution is: y = A*cos(3*x)*e^(-x) + B*sin(3*x)*e^(-x) - 2/5*cos(x) + 9/5*sin(x) + 6*cos(3*x) - sin(3*x)
