Lecture 2 2 Auxiliary Equations
Question: Sir, how are you sure that your m1 = – 1 and m2 = 1/3
answer is correct?
STEP 3: Formulate the GS using (8)
Answer: Not so sure for now, but let us verify. y = c1e m1 x + c2 e m 2 x
Do you still remember our topic “Getting the y = c1 e–x + c2 ex/3 (GS)
DEs of Functions and Equations”? Well, if not,
kindly go to Section F.3.2, page 15, of your STEP 4: Formulate the PS
Module 3.
Note: We need to differentiate the GS once
Note that our answer is a function, so we will since the Order of the ODE is 2, we have
check if, after doing the 4-step procedure, we
y = c1 e–x + c2 ex/3 (2b)
will go back to (1a). Here we go…
1
y’ = –c1 e–x +c2 ex/3
y = c1e 2 x + c 2 e 3 x
(2c)
(1b) 3
Substituting x = 0, y = 3 and y’ = 1 in (2b) and
Since n = 2, we will differentiate GS twice, thus
(2c) gives
y’ = 2 c1e 2 x – 3 c 2 e 3 x (1c) 3 = c1 + c2 (2c)

y” = 4 c1e 2 x + 9 c 2 e 3 x (1d) 1 = –c1 + c2 (2d)

We have 3 equations with 3 unknowns. Solving
We came up with two equations with two
these by elimination we have
unknowns. Solving these simultaneously (do
(1b)*3 + (1c): this!) gives
m1 = –1 m2 = 1 m2 = 3 (Case 1)
Using Desmos or SD:
STEP 3: Formulate the GS using (8) m = 1, 2, 3, –4
y = c1e m1 x + c2 e m 2 x + c3e m3 x y = c1e m1 x + c2 e m 2 x + c3e m3 x + c 4 e m4 x
y = c1 e–x + c2 ex + c3 e3x Answer.
y = c1e x + c 2 e 2 x + c3 e 3 x + c 4 e 4 x Answer.
Comment: Desmos does not recognizes
variables other than x and y. Therefore, your AE
should be reworded as CASE 2 Examples
y = x3 – 3x2 – x + 3 d2y dy
6. 4 –4 +y=0 (6a)
2 dx
or simply dx
x3 – 3x2 – x + 3 4m2 – 4m + 1 = 0
(2m – 1)(2m – 1) = 0
Note: Our succeeding Examples will be solved
straight forwardly. m = ½, ½ (Case 2)
3 = 3 e 0 (c1) + c2 e 0 = 3c1 + c2
3 = 3(1) + c2 c2 = 0
y = e 3x (1+ 0) y = e 3x Answer.
c1 = 0 c2 = 2 c3 = 0 c4 = 1 m=2 3i a = 20, b = 3
5 = c1 + c2 + 2c3
y” = 2c3 + 5c 4 e 5 x + 5c5 e 5 x
3 = c1 + 2c2 – 4c4
– 5 = c1 + 3c2 – 8c3
y’’’ = 5 5c4 e 5 x – 5 5c5 e 5 x
Solving these four equations simultaneously
gives yIV = 25c4 e 5 x + 25c5 e 5 x
c1 = 3 c2 = 0 c3 = 1 c4 = 0 Plugging in x = 0, y = 6, y’ = –2 + 5 , y” = 5,
Finally, substituting these values to the GS y’’’ = 5 5 and yIV = 25 reduces these five
gives the PS as equations into
y = 3ex – 2 sin 2x Answer. 6 = c1 + c4 + c5
–2 + 5 = c2 + 5c 4 – 5c5
IV
16. y – 4y’’’ – 2y” + 12y’ + 9y = 0
5 = 2c3 + 5c4 + 5c5
m4 – 4m3 – 2m2 + 12m + 9 = 0
5 5 = 5 5c 4 – 5 5c5
(m + 1)2(m – 3)2 = 0
25 = 25c4 + 25c5
m = –1, –1, 3, 3 (Double Case 2)
And simultaneously solving these equations
m1 = –1, –1 m2 = 3, 3 gives
y = c1e m1 x + c 2 xe m1x + c3 e m2 x + c 4 xe m2 x c1 = 5 c2 = –2 c3 = 0 c4 = 1 c5 = 0
