Answer

$y(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{x}+e^{2x}-\frac{1}{2}\sin x$

Work Step by Step

Given: $y''-y=3e^{2x}+\sin x$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $r^2-1=0$ Factor and solve for the roots. $(r-1)(r+1)=0$ Roots are: $r_1=-1$, as a multiplicity of 1 and $r_2=1$ as a multiplicity of 1 The general solution is $y(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{x} $ We have $F(x)=3e^{2x}+\sin x$ Obtain: $(D-2)(D^2+1)(D^2-1)y_p(x)=3e^{2x}+\sin x$ Therefore, the general solution for $(D-2)(D^2+1)(D^2-1)y_p(x)=0$ is: $y(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{x}+A_0e^{2x}+A_2\cos x+A_3\sin x$ The trial solution can be computed as by plugging back into the given differential equation. $y_p(x)=A_0e^{2x}+A_2\cos x+A_3\sin x$ So, we have: $(D-2)(D^2+1)(D^2-1)y_p(x)=3e^{2x}+\sin x\\ (D-2)(D^2+1)(D^2-1)(A_0e^{2x}+A_2\cos x+A_3\sin x)=3e^{2x}+\sin x$ On comparing coefficients, we get: $A_0=1\\ A_1=0\\ A_2=-\frac{1}{2}$ Therefore, the general solution for the given differential equation is: $y(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{x}+e^{2x}-\frac{1}{2}\sin x$
