The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_linear_constant_coefficients_ODE"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_3rd_order, _with_linear_symmetries]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }+2 y^{\prime \prime }-5 y^{\prime }-6 y=4 x^{2}} \] This is higher order nonhomogeneous ODE. Let the solution be \[ y = y_h + y_p \] Where \(y_h\) is the solution to the homogeneous ODE And \(y_p\) is a particular solution to the nonhomogeneous ODE. \(y_h\) is the solution to \[ y^{\prime \prime \prime }+2 y^{\prime \prime }-5 y^{\prime }-6 y = 0 \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{3}+2 \lambda ^{2}-5 \lambda -6 = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= 2\\ \lambda _2 &= -3\\ \lambda _3 &= -1 \end {align*}

Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)={\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{1} +c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-3 x}+c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{2 x} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin{align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{-x} \\ y_2 &= {\mathrm e}^{-3 x} \\ y_3 &= {\mathrm e}^{2 x} \\ \end{align*} Now the particular solution to the given ODE is found \[ y^{\prime \prime \prime }+2 y^{\prime \prime }-5 y^{\prime }-6 y = 4 x^{2} \] The particular solution is found using the method of undetermined coefficients. Looking at the RHS of the ode, which is \[ x^{2} \] Shows that the corresponding undetermined set of the basis functions (UC_set) for the trial solution is \[ [\{1, x, x^{2}\}] \] While the set of the basis functions for the homogeneous solution found earlier is \[ \{{\mathrm e}^{-3 x}, {\mathrm e}^{-x}, {\mathrm e}^{2 x}\} \] Since there is no duplication between the basis function in the UC_set and the basis functions of the homogeneous solution, the trial solution is a linear combination of all the basis in the UC_set. \[ y_p = A_{3} x^{2}+A_{2} x +A_{1} \] The unknowns \(\{A_{1}, A_{2}, A_{3}\}\) are found by substituting the above trial solution \(y_p\) into the ODE and comparing coefficients. Substituting the trial solution into the ODE and simplifying gives \[ -6 A_{3} x^{2}-6 A_{2} x -10 x A_{3}-6 A_{1}-5 A_{2}+4 A_{3} = 4 x^{2} \] Solving for the unknowns by comparing coefficients results in \[ \left [A_{1} = -{\frac {37}{27}}, A_{2} = {\frac {10}{9}}, A_{3} = -{\frac {2}{3}}\right ] \] Substituting the above back in the above trial solution \(y_p\), gives the particular solution \[ y_p = -\frac {2}{3} x^{2}+\frac {10}{9} x -\frac {37}{27} \] Therefore the general solution is \begin{align*} y &= y_h + y_p \\ &= \left ({\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{1} +c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-3 x}+c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}\right ) + \left (-\frac {2}{3} x^{2}+\frac {10}{9} x -\frac {37}{27}\right ) \\ \end{align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= {\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{1} +c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-3 x}+c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}-\frac {2 x^{2}}{3}+\frac {10 x}{9}-\frac {37}{27} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{-x} c_{1} +c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{-3 x}+c_{3} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}-\frac {2 x^{2}}{3}+\frac {10 x}{9}-\frac {37}{27} \] Verified OK.
