Homework Statement


solve the differential equation by using Laplace transform


x^{''}(t)+7x^{'}(t)+10x(t)=sin3t
x(0)=0, x^{'}(0)=0







Homework Equations


X(s)s^2+X(s)7s+X(s)10=\frac{3}{s^2+9}
then i get
X(s) = \frac{3}{s^2+9}\cdot\frac{1}{(s+5)(s+2)}

\frac{3}{(s^2+9)(s+5)(s+2)}=\frac{As+B}{s^2+9}+\frac{C}{s+5}+\frac{D}{s+2}\\<br /> \begin{cases}A+C+D=0\\7A+2C+B+5D=0\\10A+7B+9C+9D=0\\10B+18C+45D=3\end{cases}\Rightarrow \begin{cases}A=-\frac{21}{442}\\B=\frac{3}{442}\\C=-\frac{1}{34}\\D=\frac{1}{13}\end{cases}


x(t) = =-\frac{21}{442}cos3t+\frac{3}{442}sin3t-\frac{1}{34}e^{-2t}+\frac{1}{13}e^{-5t}
1) well i made a quck check (used other method to calculate A, B) to se if the are correct
and this is what i get
x=A\cos3t+B\sin3t
x&#039;=-3A\sin3t+3B\cos3t
x&#039;&#039;=-9A\cos3t-9B\sin3t

and from this i obtain
A=-\frac{21}{442}
B=-\frac{1}{442}

can someone please show me where did I make a mistake??

<br /> X(s) = \frac{-3(7s-1)}{442(s^2+9)}\ + \frac{1}{13(s+2)}\ - \frac{1}{34(s+5)}\ }<br /> <br /> \begin{cases}A=-\frac{21}{442}\\B=\frac{3}{442}\\C=-\frac{1}{34}\\D=\frac{1}{13}\end{cases}<br /> correct <br />

<br /> x(t) = \frac{1}{442}(sin(3t)-21cos(3t))\ + \frac{e^{-2t}}{13}\ - \frac{e^{-5t}}{34}\<br />

You forgot about the factor of 3 on the top of the Laplace transform of sine

\frac{B}{s^2+9} = \frac{3/442}{s^2+9} = \frac{1}{442}\left(\frac{3}{s^2+9}\right) \rightarrow \frac{1}{442} \sin 3t

As for the sign of that term, I'll let you track that down yourself. :-p
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
