7. Solve the initial-value problem 3 2 , (0) 4yy ty
.
Solution
Rewrite in standard form as 12
33
yyt
so that by Eq. (2.12),
8.Express
cos 2sintt
in the form cos( )Dt

for suitable amplitude
D
and phase
I
.
Solution
Expand
cos( ) cos cos sin sinDt Dt Dt
III
. Comparing with
cos 2sintt
, we find
9. Solve the initial-value problem

using
(a) the method of undetermined coefficients,
(b) Laplace transformation.
Solution
(a) The characteristic equation
230
