    Alexis Talaverano Vargas
    This document provides an example of using the method of Variation of Parameters to find the general solution to a second order nonhomogeneous differential equation. It gives the steps as: 1) Find the complementary solution by solving the associated homogeneous equation. 2) Use Variation of Parameters to construct a particular solution. 3) The general solution is the sum of the complementary and particular solutions.

    MATH 204 Example 3: Variation of Parameters Dr.

    TeBeest

    The method of Variation of Parameters is used to obtain the general solution of the ODE
    y 00 − 2y 0 + 2 y = ex sec x . (N)
    IMPORTANT: Note that the first term is a lone y 00 , so f (x) = ex sec x.

    STEP 1:
    Obtain the two linearly independent solutions y1 and y2 of the associated homogeneous problem
    y 00 − 2y 0 + 2 y = 0 . (H)
    They are
    y1 = ex cos x , y2 = ex sin x ,
    so the complementary solution of (N) is
    yc = c1 y1 + c2 y2 = c1 ex cos x + c2 ex sin x . (C)

    STEP 2: Use Variation of Parameters to construct a particular solution yp of problem (N):


    First,
    y1 = ex cos x , y2 = ex sin x ,
    y10 = ex cos x − ex sin x , y20 = ex sin x + ex cos x .

    (a) Set:
    W ≡ y1 y20 − y10 y2
    ³ ´ ³ ´
    = (ex cos x) ex sin x + ex cos x − ex cos x − ex sin x (ex sin x)

    = e2x ,
    W1 ≡ −y2 f = −(ex sin x)(ex sec x) = − e2x tan x ,
    W2 ≡ +y1 f = (ex cos x)(ex sec x) = e2x .

    (b) Set Z Z Z
    W1 − e2x tan x
    u1 ≡ dx = dx = − tan x dx = ln | cos x | ,
    W e2x
    Z Z Z
    W2 e2x
    u2 ≡ dx = dx = 1 dx = x .
    W e2x

    (c) Then a particular solution of (N) is

    yp = u1 y1 + u2 y2 = ex cos x ln | cos x | + xex sin x (P)

    STEP 3: Then the general solution of the nonhomogeneous problem (N) is

    y = yc + yp = c1 ex cos x + c2 ex sin x + ex cos x ln | cos x | + xex sin x (G)
