Find the general solution.(D − 1)(D − 2)(D2 − 4D + 13)2y = 0. |

Answer» We have λ = 1 and λ = 2 as roots of multiplicity 1, so they contribute basic solutions ex and e2x. The roots of the quadratic λ2− 4λ + 13 are λ = 2 ± 3i and these conjugate roots both have multiplicity 2. Thus, this pair of conjugate roots contributes the basic solutions e2xcos(3x), e2x sin(3x), xe2x cos(3x) and xe2x sin(3x). Thus, the general solution is (1.1) y = C1ex + C2e2x + C3e2xcos(3x) + C4e2xsin(3x) + C5xe2x cos3x + C6xe2xsin(3x). |
