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..?
 
Physics news on Phys.org


Umm the first latex image generation is supposed to be an integral,
The second is supposed to be a fraction, so e^integral of P(x) divided by (y1)^2

And the third one is another integral.

Sorry I don't know what happened..

please help

Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
