这里 y 原本是 x 的函数,而 x=t2,所以 y 也可以看成 t 的函数。关键是用 chain rule 把
dxdy,dx2d2y
和关于 t 的导数联系起来。

Since
x=t2,
we have
dtdx=2t.
By the chain rule,
dtdy==dxdydtdx2tdxdy.
So
dxdy=2t1dtdy.
Differentiate
dtdy=2tdxdy
with respect to t:
dt2d2y=2dxdy+2tdtd(dxdy).
But
dtd(dxdy)==dx2d2ydtdx2tdx2d2y.
Therefore
dt2d2y==2dxdy+4t2dx2d2y2dxdy+4xdx2d2y.
Hence
4xdx2d2y=dt2d2y−2dxdy.
Also, since x=t2,
x=t.
Now substitute into (I):
4xdx2d2y+2(1+2x)dxdy−15y=15x.
This gives
(dt2d2y−2dxdy)+2(1+2t)dxdy−15y=15t2.
Simplify the derivative terms:
dt2d2y−2dxdy+2dxdy+4tdxdy−15y=15t2.
Since
dtdy=2tdxdy,
we have
4tdxdy=2dtdy.
Therefore
dt2d2y+2dtdy−15y=15t2.
This is (II).

(II) 是二阶常系数非齐次微分方程。先求 complementary function,再设 particular integral。右边是 15t2,所以 particular integral 设为二次多项式。
答题过程

The differential equation is
dt2d2y+2dtdy−15y=15t2.
For the complementary function, solve
m2+2m−15=0.
Factorise:
(m+5)(m−3)=0.
So
m=−5,m=3.
Therefore
yc=Ae−5t+Be3t.
For the particular integral, let
yp=at2+bt+c.
Then
dtdyp=2at+b,
and
dt2d2yp=2a.
Substitute into the left hand side:
2a+2(2at+b)−15(at2+bt+c)=15t2.
Expand:
−15at2+(4a−15b)t+(2a+2b−15c)=15t2.
Compare coefficients:
−15a=4a−15b=2a+2b−15c=15,0,0.
Hence
a=−1.
Then
4(−1)−15b=0⟹b=−154.
Finally,
2(−1)+2(−154)−15c=−2−158−15c=−1538−15c=0,0,0.
So
c=−22538.
Therefore
yp=−t2−154t−22538.
The general solution of (II) is
y=Ae−5t+Be3t−t2−154t−22538.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
由 x=t2 得 t=x。把 (b) 中的 t 换成 x,并把 t2 换成 x。
答题过程
展开
Since
x=t2,
we use
t=x.
From part (b),
y=Ae−5t+Be3t−t2−154t−22538.
Therefore the general solution of (I) is
y=Ae−5x+Be3x−x−154x−22538.
