Homework Statement
Please help me with this, I would really appreciate it:
Using the fact that y1 = x-1/2 cos x is a solution of the associated homogeneous problem, obtain the general solution of
x2 y'' + x y' + (x2 - 1/4)y = x3/2
The Attempt at a Solution
Well the first thing i did was divide it by x^2 to obtain:
y'' + 1/x y' + (1 - 1/4x2)y = x-1/2
Then let y'' + 1/x y' + (1 - 1/4x2)y = 0
A second solution will be given as
y2 = y1 \int e ^ \int P(x)\frac{}{} (y1)^2 eintegral of P(x) dx \div (y1)^2
So here is where i have a problem, can someone please help me integrate
y2 = x-1/2 cos x \int - x / ( x-1/2 cos x)^2
please help me..?
