TopicSecond order differential equations
TypeParticular solution with initial conditions
DifficultyChallenging +1.2 This is a standard second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients requiring complementary function (complex roots), particular integral (exponential form), and application of initial conditions. While it involves multiple steps and Further Maths content, it follows a completely routine algorithmic procedure taught in FP3 with no novel problem-solving required.

5 Find the solution of the differential equation \(\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } y } { \mathrm {~d} x ^ { 2 } } + 2 \frac { \mathrm {~d} y } { \mathrm {~d} x } + 5 y = \mathrm { e } ^ { - x }\) for which \(y = \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 0\) when \(x = 0\).

CF: \(e^{-x}(A\cos 2x + B\sin 2x)\)A1ft Or \(Ae^{-x}\cos(2x+\alpha)\) Must be in real form
PI: \(y = ae^{-x}\)B1 If PI \(y=axe^{-x}\), then max of M1,A1,A1, B0,M1,A0,A0 (since cannot be consistent) M1, M1, A1. Must have a constant in "their PI"
\(ae^{-x} - 2ae^{-x} + 5ae^{-x} = e^{-x}\), \(4a=1\)M1 Differentiate & substitute
\(a = \frac{1}{4}\)A1
GS: \(y = e^{-x}\left(\frac{1}{4} + A\cos 2x + B\sin 2x\right)\)A1ft Must have "\(y=\)"
\(\frac{dy}{dx} = -e^{-x}\left(\frac{1}{4} + A\cos 2x + B\sin 2x\right) + e^{-x}(-2A\sin 2x + 2B\cos 2x)\)M1* Differentiate their GS of form \(y=e^{-x}(P + A\cos nx + B\sin nx)\) where \(P\) is constant or linear term, \(n\) not 0 or 1. Allow one error
\(x=0, \frac{dy}{dx}=0 \Rightarrow -\left(\frac{1}{4}+A\right)+2B=0\)*M1 Use conditions. But M0 if leads to solution of \(y=0\)
\(x=0, y=0 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}+A=0\)
\(A = -\frac{1}{4},\ B=0\)A1ft From their GS
\(y = \frac{1}{4}e^{-x}(1-\cos 2x)\)A1 Must have '\(y=\)' and be in real form
