Let’s solve the system by elimination step by step: Given: \[ \begin{align*} 1.\quad & \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = e^t \\ 2.\quad & x - \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = 1t \end{align*} \] --- ### **Step 1: Express \( x \) in terms of \( y \) from the second equation** \[ x - \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} = t \implies x = t + \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} \] --- ### **Step 2: Differentiate \( x \) with respect to \( t \) to get \( \frac{dx}{dt} \)** \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(t + \frac{d^2y}{dt^2}) = 1 + \frac{d^3y}{dt^3} \] --- ### **Step 3: Substitute \( \frac{dx}{dt} \) into the first equation** Original first equation: \[ \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = e^t \] Substitute \( \frac{dx}{dt} \): \[ (1 + \frac{d^3y}{dt^3}) + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = e^t \] --- ### **Step 4: Rearrange the equation** \[ \frac{d^3y}{dt^3} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y + 1 = e^t \] \[ \frac{d^3y}{dt^3} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = e^t - 1 \] --- ### **Step 5: Solve the third-order ODE for \( y \)** The equation is: \[ \frac{d^3y}{dt^3} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = e^t - 1 \] #### **(a) Solve the homogeneous equation:** \[ \frac{d^3y}{dt^3} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2y = 0 \] Characteristic equation: \[ r^3 + r - 2 = 0 \] Let’s factor: Try \( r = 1 \): \[ 1^3 + 1 - 2 = 0 \] So \( r = 1 \) is a root. Divide \( (r^3 + r - 2) \) by \( (r - 1) \): \[ (r^3 + r - 2) \div (r - 1) = r^2 + r + 2 \] So, roots are \( r = 1 \) and \( r^2 + r + 2 = 0 \) Solve \( r^2 + r + 2 = 0 \) using quadratic formula: \[ r = \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1 - 8}}{2} = \frac{-1 \pm i\sqrt{7}}{2} \] So, the general solution to the homogeneous equation is: \[ y_h(t) = C_1 e^{t} + e^{-\frac{1}{2}t}\left(C_2 \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right) + C_3 \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right)\right) \] --- #### **(b) Find a particular solution \( y_p(t) \) for \( e^t - 1 \):** Guess \( y_p = A e^{t} + B \) (since \( e^{t} \) and constant). But \( e^t \) is a solution of the homogeneous equation (since \( r = 1 \)). So, for the \( e^t \) term, try \( At e^{t} \): Let \( y_p = At e^t + B \) Compute derivatives: \[ \frac{dy_p}{dt} = A e^t + A t e^t \] \[ \frac{d^2y_p}{dt^2} = 2A e^t + A t e^t \] \[ \frac{d^3y_p}{dt^3} = 3A e^t + A t e^t \] Plug into the nonhomogeneous equation: \[ \frac{d^3y_p}{dt^3} + \frac{dy_p}{dt} - 2y_p = (3A e^t + A t e^t) + (A e^t + A t e^t) - 2(At e^t + B) \] \[ = [3A e^t + A e^t - 2B] + [A t e^t + A t e^t - 2A t e^t] \] \[ = [4A e^t - 2B] + [2A t e^t - 2A t e^t] \] \[ = 4A e^t - 2B \] Set equal to \( e^t - 1 \): \[ 4A e^t - 2B = e^t - 1 \] Compare coefficients: \[ 4A = 1 \implies A = \frac{1}{4} \] \[ -2B = -1 \implies B = \frac{1}{2} \] So, \[ y_p = \frac{1}{4} t e^{t} + \frac{1}{2} \] --- ### **Step 6: General Solution for \( y \)** \[ \boxed{ y(t) = C_1 e^{t} + e^{-\frac{1}{2}t}\left[C_2 \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right) + C_3 \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right)\right] + \frac{1}{4} t e^{t} + \frac{1}{2} } \] --- ### **Step 7: Find \( x(t) \) using \( x = t + \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} \)** Compute \( \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} \) for the general \( y(t) \) and substitute back. (You can leave the answer in this form, unless you need the explicit expression.) --- ## **Final Answer** \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} & y(t) = C_1 e^{t} + e^{-\frac{1}{2}t}\left[C_2 \cos\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right) + C_3 \sin\left(\frac{\sqrt{7}}{2}t\right)\right] + \frac{1}{4} t e^{t} + \frac{1}{2} \\ & x(t) = t + \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} \end{aligned} } \] where \(C_1, C_2, C_3\) are arbitrary constants.

Thus, general particular solution: \[ y_p(t) = A t e^t + B \] --- ## **Step 6: Compute derivatives of \( y_p(t) \)** \[ \frac{dy_p}{dt} = A e^t + A t e^t \] \[ \frac{d^2 y_p}{dt^2} = A e^t + A e^t + A t e^t = 2A e^t + A t e^t \] \[ \frac{d^3 y_p}{dt^3} = 2A e^t + A e^t + A e^t + A t e^t = 4A e^t + A t e^t \] (Note: derivatives are computed step-by-step for clarity.) --- ## **Step 7: Substitute into the differential equation** Recall: \[ \frac{d^3 y}{dt^3} + \frac{dy}{dt} - 2 y = e^t - 1 \] Plug in derivatives: \[ (4A e^t + A t e^t) + (A e^t + A t e^t) - 2 (A t e^t + B) = e^t - 1 \] Simplify term by term: \[ 4A e^t + A t e^t + A e^t + A t e^t - 2A t e^t - 2B = e^t - 1 \] Group similar terms: - \( e^t \)-terms: \[ (4A e^t + A e^t) = 5A e^t \] - \( t e^t \)-terms: \[ A t e^t + A t e^t - 2A t e^t = (A t e^t + A t e^t - 2A t e^t) = 0 \] - Constant term: \[ -2B \] So the entire expression simplifies to: \[ 5A e^t - 2B = e^t - 1 \] --- ## **Step 8: Equate coefficients** Matching coefficients: \[ 5A e^t = e^t \Rightarrow 5A = 1 \Rightarrow A = \frac{1}{5} \] \[ -2B = -1 \Rightarrow B = \frac{1}{2} \] --- ## **Step 9: Write the particular solution** \[ \boxed{ y_p(t) = \frac{1}{5} t e^t + \frac{1}{2} } \] --- ## **Step 10: Write the **general solution** for \( y(t) \)** \[ \boxed{ y(t) = C_1 e^{t} + e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ C_2 \cos \left( \frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} t \right) + C_3 \sin \left( \frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} t \right) \right] + \frac{1}{5} t e^t + \frac{1}{2} } \] --- ## **Step 11: Find \( x(t) \)** Recall: \[ x(t) = t + \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} \] ### **Compute \( \frac{dy}{dt} \) and \( \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} \)**: Given the complete form of \( y(t) \), derivatives involve: - Derivatives of exponential, sinusoidal, and polynomial terms. - For brevity, we note that \( x(t) \) can be explicitly written as: \[ x(t) = t + \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} \] which can be obtained by differentiating \( y(t) \) twice. --- ## **Final Results:** \[ \boxed{ \begin{aligned} & y(t) = C_1 e^{t} + e^{-\frac{1}{2} t} \left[ C_2 \cos \left( \frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} t \right) + C_3 \sin \left( \frac{\sqrt{7}}{2} t \right) \right] + \frac{1}{5} t e^t + \frac{1}{2} \\ & x(t) = t + \frac{d^2 y}{dt^2} \end{aligned} } \] where \( C_1, C_2, C_3 \) are arbitrary constants determined by initial conditions. --- **Note:** The explicit expression for \( x(t) \) involves second derivatives of the entire \( y(t) \) function, which can be computed as needed. --- **This completes the detailed step-by-step solution.**
