TopicSecond order differential equations
TypeVerify particular integral form
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a Further Maths F2 question requiring differentiation of products involving exponentials and trigonometric functions (twice), substitution into a second-order DE, coefficient matching to find A, then finding complementary function from auxiliary equation, and finally applying initial conditions. While systematic, it demands careful algebraic manipulation across multiple steps and is more demanding than standard A-level questions.
Spec4.10e Second order non-homogeneous: complementary + particular integral

4. $$y = 3 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \cos 3 x + A \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \sin 3 x$$ is a particular integral of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } - 2 \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 10 y = 40 \mathrm { e } ^ { - x } \sin 3 x$$ where \(A\) is a constant.
  1. Find the value of \(A\).
  2. Hence find the general solution of this differential equation.
  3. Find the particular solution of this differential equation for which both \(y = 3\) and \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 3\) at \(x = 0\)
