Week 5&6 2nd ODE Flashcards
What’s the form of a linear 2nd order ODE?
how do you know if a linear 2nd order ODE is homogenous or non-homogenous?
r(t) = 0 - homogenous
what else would be another solution?
what’s the general homogenous 2nd order ODE form?
what are the different cases for the roots for solving general homogenous 2nd order ODE’s?
Definitions?
1- real roots & different,
2- real roots & same,
3- complex roots
How would you solve a general homogenous 2nd order ODE form?
1) solve the auxiliary equation
2) establish value of m
3) sub in appropriate form of the roots
(1- real roots & different,
2- real roots & same,
3- complex roots)
What’s the solution to real roots & different cases
NOTE :
for dy/dx
Solve this 2nd order ODE
1) use auxiliary equation
-compare a,b,c values
(CHECK DISCRIMINANT TO CONFIRM ROOT TYPE)
2) factorise and find roots
3) identify appropriate form
e.g. here m1 doesn’t = m2
so it’s real roots&different
4) use corresponding equation form
(use real roots&different one)
and sub m values into there
What’s the solution to real roots & same cases
NOTE :
for dy/dx
Solve this 2nd order ODE
1) use auxiliary equation
-compare a,b,c values
(CHECK DISCRIMINANT TO CONFIRM ROOT TYPE)
2) factorise and find roots
3) identify appropriate form
e.g. here m1 = m2
so it’s real roots&same
4) use corresponding equation form
(use real roots&same one)
and sub m values into there
What’s the solution to complex roots cases
NOTE :
for dy/dx
Solve this 2nd order ODE
A
1) use auxiliary equation
-compare a,b,c values
(CHECK DISCRIMINANT TO CONFIRM ROOT TYPE)
2) factorise and find roots
- have to use quadratic equation here to find complex roots
3) simplify roots
4) match the real and imaginary roots, where imaginary root has square root, real doesn’t
- obtain alpha, beta value
4) use corresponding equation form
(use complex roots one)
and sub alpha, beta values into there
quadratic equation?
What’s the complex root form?
a= real
b= imaginary
match the real/ imaginary number
1) simplify
2)
real (alpha) = no square root
imaginary (beta) = square root
