Final answer:

To solve the initial value problem
u′′(x)=12e2x−64e−4x with
u(0)=1and
u′(0)=5 we can solve the differential equation and apply the initial conditions to determine the particular solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the initial value problem
u′′(x) = 12e2x − 64e−4x with u(0) = 1 and
u′(0) = 5 we can solve the differential equation and apply the initial conditions to determine the particular solution.

First, we solve the dwithfferential equation:

  1. Let
    y = u′(x).
  2. This means
    y′ = u′′(x).
  3. So, we have
    y′ = 12e2x − 64e−4x.
  4. To solve for
    y we integrate both sides of the equation with respect to
    x.
  5. This gives us
    y = ∫(12e2x − 64e−4x)dx.
  6. Integrating the right side of the equation,
  7. we get
    y = 6e2x + 16e−4x + C₁,
  8. where
    C₁ is the constant of integration.

Next, we apply the initial conditions:

  1. We know that
    u(0) = 1and
    u′(0) = 5.
  2. Substituting
    x = 0 into the equation for u
  3. we get
    u(0) = 6e^0 + 16e^0 + C₁ = 6 + 16 + C₁ = 22 + C₁ = 1.
  4. From this, we can determine that
    C₁ = -21.

Therefore, the particular solution to the initial value problem is,


u(x) = 6e2x + 16e−4x - 21.
