4xy ′ − (1 + x2 )y = x.
8. If sin x − cos x and ex are the integrals in the complementary function, then find the
particular integral of y ′′ + (1 − cot x)y ′ − y cot x = sin2 x.

(a) Solve the equation for x as a function of t.
(b) What is the damping factor, damped amplitude, damped period and frequency?
(c) Find the time required for the damped amplitude to decrease by half?

Hint: In a general solution of the type x = Ce−rt sin( w2 − r2 t+δ) r > 0, the damped
amplitude is identified as Ce−rt , with damping factor e−rt , the damped frequency is

19. The oscillatory motion of a spring is given by: y ′′ +2ay ′ +by = 0, a2 < b It is observed
that the damping factor is reduced by 80% in 10 seconds and its damped period is 2
seconds. Find a and b. (Hint: Since the motion is oscillatory the roots of the auxiliary
equation m2 + 2am + b = 0 are complex conjugates, hence the solution can be written
√
as x = Ce−rt sin( w2 − r2 t + δ))
