Answer

The general solution is: $$y(t) = c_1\sin(3t)+c_2\cos(3t) +\ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)|\sin(3t)-1$$

Work Step by Step

$$y{''}+9y = 9\sec^2{(3t})$$ $$g(t) = 9\sec^2{(3t})$$ To find the complementary function $y_c(t)$, consider the homogeneous part $$y''+9y=0$$ Corresponding characteristic equation is: $$m^2+9=0$$ $$ m = \pm 3\iota $$ Hence, Complementary function is: $$y_c(t) = c_1\sin(3t)+c_2\cos(3t)$$ Hence Independent solutions $y_1(t)$ and $y_2(t)$ of homogeneous equation will be $$y_1(t) = \sin(3t) \text{ and } y_2(t) = \cos(3t)$$ Particular Solution $y_p(t)$ is given by: $$y_p(t) = u_1(t)y_1(t)+u_2(t)y_2(t)$$ where $$u_1(t) = -\int \frac{y_2(t)g(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)(t)}dt + c_3$$ $$u_2(t) = \int \frac{y_1(t)g(t)}{W(y_1,y_2)(t)}dt+c_4$$ Since, $y_p(t)$ is a particular solution so we can choose $c_3=c_4=0$ such that both the constant term vanishes. $$W(y_1, y_2)(t) = \begin{vmatrix} \sin(3t) & \cos(3t) \\ 3\cos(3t) & -3\sin(3t) \end{vmatrix}=-3$$ $$u_1(t) = -\int \frac{\cos(3t) \times 9\sec^2{(3t})}{-3}dt = 3\int \sec(3t)dt$$ $$u_1(t) = 3\frac{1}{3}\ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)| = \ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)|$$ $$u_2(t) = \int \frac{\sin(3t)\times 9\sec^2(3t)}{-3}dt = -3\times \int \tan(3t)\sec(3t)dt$$ $$u_2(t) = -3\frac{1}{3} \sec(3t) = -\sec(3t)$$ $$\therefore y_p(t) = \ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)|\sin(3t)-\sec({3t})\cos(3t)$$ $$\therefore y_p(t) = \ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)|\sin(3t)-1$$ Therefore, the general solution is: $$y(t) = y_c(t)+y_p(t)$$ $$y(t) = c_1\sin(3t)+c_2\cos(3t) +\ln|\sec(3t)+\tan(3t)|\sin(3t)-1$$
