Answer:

Explanation:

To solve the differential equation:

y′′′ + y = 3(y′ − 1)

we first find the characteristic equation:

r^3 + 1 = 0

The roots of this equation are:

r = -1, 0 ± i

So, the general solution of the homogeneous equation (y′′′ + y = 0) is:

y_h(t) = c1 e^(-t) + c2 cos(t) + c3 sin(t)

To find a particular solution of the non-homogeneous equation (3(y′ − 1)), we assume a solution of the form:

y_p(t) = a t + b

Taking the first, second and third derivatives of y_p(t), we get:

y′_p(t) = a

y′′_p(t) = 0

y′′′_p(t) = 0

Substituting these into the differential equation, we get:

0 + (a t + b) = 3(a - 1)

Solving for a and b, we get:

a = 1

b = 2

Therefore, the particular solution of the non-homogeneous equation is:

y_p(t) = t + 2

So, the general solution of the non-homogeneous equation is:

y(t) = y_h(t) + y_p(t) = c1 e^(-t) + c2 cos(t) + c3 sin(t) + t + 2

To find the values of c1, c2 and c3, we use the initial conditions:

y(0) = c1 + c2 + 2 = 1

y′(0) = -c1 + c2 + c3 = 0

y′′(0) = c1 - c2 = 0

Solving these equations simultaneously, we get:

c1 = c2 = 1/2

c3 = -1/2

So, the solution of the differential equation with initial conditions (0) = 1, ′(0) = 0, ′′(0) = 0 is:

y(t) = 1/2 e^(-t) + 1/2 cos(t) - 1/2 sin(t) + t + 2
