Differential Equations

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since the right-hand side is $\sin x$, we guess that the particular solution has the form $y_p = A \sin x + B \cos x$. Substituting this into the differential equation, we get $A \sin x + B \cos x - A \sin x - B \cos x = \sin x$, which implies that $A = \frac{1}{2}$ and $B = 0$. Therefore, the particular solution is $y_p = \frac{1}{2} \sin x$. The general solution is then $y = C_1 \cos x + C_2 \sin x + y_p = C_1 \cos x + C_2 \sin x + \frac{1}{2} \sin x$.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of partial fractions. Rewriting the equation as $\frac{dy}{y(y-1)(y-2)} = dx$, we can decompose the fraction into partial fractions as $\frac{1}{y(y-1)(y-2)} = \frac{A}{y} + \frac{B}{y-1} + \frac{C}{y-2}$. Solving for $A$, $B$, and $C$, we get $A = 1$, $B = -1$, and $C = 1$. Therefore, the differential equation becomes $\frac{dy}{y} - \frac{dy}{y-1} + \frac{dy}{y-2} = dx$. Integrating both sides, we get $\ln y - \ln (y-1) + \ln (y-2) = x + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration. Simplifying this expression, we get $\ln \frac{y(y-2)}{y-1} = x + C$, which implies that $y = \frac{1}{C_1 e^x - 1}$, where $C_1 = e^C$.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of Laplace transforms. Taking the Laplace transform of both sides of the differential equation, we get $s^2 Y(s) - s y(0) - y'(0) + 4Y(s) = 1$, where $Y(s)$ is the Laplace transform of $y(t)$. Solving for $Y(s)$, we get $Y(s) = \frac{1}{s^2 + 4} + \frac{s y(0) + y'(0)}{s^2 + 4}$. Taking the inverse Laplace transform of $Y(s)$, we get $y(t) = \frac{1}{2} \sin 2t + C_1 \cos 2t + \frac{1}{2}$, where $C_1$ is an arbitrary constant.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of separation of variables. Rewriting the equation as $\frac{dy}{y^2} = dx$, we can integrate both sides to get $\frac{-1}{y} = x + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration. Solving for $y$, we get $y = \frac{1}{C_1 - x}$, where $C_1 = -C$.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of separation of variables. Rewriting the equation as $\frac{dy}{y} = \frac{dx}{x}$, we can integrate both sides to get $\ln y = \ln x + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration. Exponentiating both sides, we get $y = Ce^x$, which is the general solution. Since $C = e^C$, we can write the general solution as $y = Cx$, where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of characteristic equations. The characteristic equation is $r^2 - 4r + 4 = 0$, which has two roots $r_1 = r_2 = 2$. Therefore, the general solution is $y = C_1 e^{2x} + C_2 e^{-2x}$, where $C_1$ and $C_2$ are arbitrary constants.

To solve this differential equation, we can use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since the right-hand side is $\sin x$, we guess that the particular solution has the form $y_p = A \sin x + B \cos x$. Substituting this into the differential equation, we get $A \sin x + B \cos x - A \sin x - B \cos x = \sin x$, which implies that $A = \frac{1}{2}$ and $B = 0$. Therefore, the particular solution is $y_p = \frac{1}{2} \sin x$. The general solution is then $y = C_1 \cos x + C_2 \sin x + y_p = C_1 \cos x + C_2 \sin x + \frac{1}{2} \sin x$.

Solving for $A$, $B$, and $C$, we get $A = 1$, $B = -1$, and $C = 1$. Therefore, the differential equation becomes $\frac{dy}{y} - \frac{dy}{y-1} + \frac{dy}{y-2} = dx$. Integrating both sides, we get $\ln y - \ln (y-1) + \ln (y-2) = x + C$, where $C$ is the constant of integration. Simplifying this expression, we get $\ln \frac{y(y-2)}{y-1} = x + C$, which implies that $y = \frac{1}{C_1 e^x - 1}$, where $C_1 = e^C$.
