  1. Consider the differential equation 3y"(x) + 27y(x) = 0 with initial conditions y(0) and y'(0) = 2000. The value of y at x = 1 is _________.

    The D.E. is 3y (x) + 27 y (x) = 0
    The auxiliary equation is
    3 m2 + 27 = 0 m2 + 9 = 0
    m = ≠ 3i Solution is y = C1 cos 3x + C2 sin 3x
    Given that y (0) = 0
    ∴ 0 = C1
    y' = –3 C1. sin 3x + 3 c2 cos 3x
    y' (0) = 2000
    2000 = 0 + 3 C2

    C2 =
    2000
    3

    ∴ Solution is
    y =
    2000
    sin 3x
