Question
(Variation of parameter) Another method of obtaining (4) results from the following idea. Write (3) as ey*, where y* is the exponential function. which is a solution of the homogeneous linear ODE y*' + py* = O. Replace the arbitrary constant e in (3) with a function II to be determined so that the resulting function y = IIY* is a solution of the nonhomogeneous linear ODE y' + PY = r.
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 45 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (Variation of parameter) Another method of obtaining (4) results from the following idea. Write (3) as ey*, where y* is the exponential function. which is a solution of the homogeneous linear ODE y*' + py* = O. Replace the arbitrary constant e in (3) with a function II to be determined so that the resulting function y = IIY* is a solution of the nonhomogeneous linear ODE y' + PY = r.
From the textbook chapter First-Order ODEs you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
