Particular solution for $y''+y=sin x$












0














I'm trying to find the particular solution $y_p$ for:



$$y''+y=sin x$$



I set $y_p(x)=Asin x + Bcos x$ and differentiate 2 times:
$$y_p'(x)=Acos x - Bsin x$$
$$y_p''(x)=-Asin x - Bcos x$$
I Insert into $$y_p''+y_p=sin x$$



$$-Asin x - Bcos x+ Asin x + Bcos x=sin x$$



And this cant be right, because the LHS. is $=0$



Where did I go wrong?

    Thats because your $y_p$ is solution to the homogenous $y''+y=0$.

    The method of undetermined coefficients demands that you add a factor $x$ in the resonance case (with multiplicity one), $y_p(x)=Axsin x+Bxcos x.$

  • @Curl: In such cases you may take $y_p=Axsin x$ alone (if you are adventurous).

When the RHS has the form
$$P_n(x)sin(omega x)$$



and
$(iomega)$ is a root of the caracteristic equation, the particular solution of the equation $$y''+y=P_n(x)sin(omega x)$$



will be as
$$y_p=color{red}{xQ_n(x)}Bigl(Acos(omega x)+Bsin(omega x)Bigr)$$



$P_n$ and $Q_n$ are polynomial of degree $=n$.
