Answer

The general solution of the differential equation $y''+4y = 3\csc{(2t)}$ is: $$y(t) = c_1\sin(2t)+c_2\cos(2t) +\frac{3}{4}\ln|sin(2t)|sin(2t) - \frac{3}{2}tcos(2t)$$

Work Step by Step

$$y{''}+4y = 3\csc{(2t)}$$ $$g(t) = 3\csc{(2t)}$$ To find the complementary function $y_c(t)$, consider the homogeneous part $$y''+4y=0$$ Corresponding characteristic equation is: $$m^2+4=0$$ $$ m = \pm 2\iota $$ Hence, Complementary function is: $$y_c(t) = c_1\sin(2t)+c_2\cos(2t)$$ Hence Independent solutions $y_1(t)$ and $y_2(t)$ of homogeneous equation will be $$y_1(t) = \sin(2t) \text{ and } y_2(t) = \cos(2t)$$ 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. $$W(y_1, y_2)(t) = \begin{vmatrix} \sin(2t) & \cos(2t) \\ 2\cos(2t) & -2\sin(2t) \end{vmatrix}=-2$$ $$u_1(t) = -\int \frac{\cos(2t) \times 3\csc(2t)}{-2}dt = \frac{3}{2}\int \cot(2t)dt$$ $$u_1(t) = \frac{3}{4}\ln|sin(2t)|$$ $$u_2(t) = \int \frac{\sin(2t)\times 3\csc(2t)}{-2}dt = -\frac{3}{2}\times \int 1dt$$ $$u_2(t) = -\frac{3}{2}t$$ $$\therefore y_p(t) = \frac{3}{4}\ln|sin(2t)|sin(2t) - \frac{3}{2}tcos(2t)$$ Therefore, the general solution is: $$y(t) = y_c(t)+y_p(t)$$ $$y(t) = c_1\sin(2t)+c_2\cos(2t) +\frac{3}{4}\ln|sin(2t)|sin(2t) - \frac{3}{2}tcos(2t)$$
