    Differential Eq: Inverse Laplace Transforms

    Homework Statement I have a couple of problems that I am stuck on. The following: y'' - 6y' + 9y = t y(0) = 0 y'(0) = 1 and y'' - 6y' + 13y = 0 y(0) = 0 y'(0) = -3 Homework Equations y'' = s2Y(s) - sf(0) - f'(0) y' = sY(s) - f(0) y = Y(s) The Attempt at a Solution...

    How do I solve for the particular solution using the annihilator method?

    Thank you all. I have one more y'' + y' + y = xsinx The annihilator for xsinx is (D2+1)2 which would yield 4 answers that are imaginary (+i,-i,+i,-i) when you do the particular solution, since the answers are repeating do you put an x before the constant? so far i have that...

    Sound intensity on a flat earth

    Sound intensity on a "flat earth" Homework Statement Consider a flat Earth with an atmosphere that descreases in density as altitude increases such that rho = rho0e-h/H where rho nought is the density of air at zero altitude and H is a constant known as the "scale height". Assume the bulk...

    Solving Initial Value Problems for Differential Equations - Tips & Examples

    are there any specific "tips" on like how to work around them? from what i saw there its good to get a dy/dx somewhere (like there by dividing everything by xdx) and then doing the substitution. . . but how do you know if its better to use u=y/x or v=x/y ?

    Solving Initial Value Problems for Differential Equations - Tips & Examples

    Thank you. Another question regarding my homework, same topic (differential equations) Im doing "substitution" where you have to identify that M(x,y) and N(x,y) have the same degree by doing M(tx,ty) and N(tx,ty) and such. . . substitute by u= x/y or u=y/x anyways I don't see any...
