Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider the third-order differential equation: d^3y/dt^3 + 6d^2y/dt^2 + 11dy/dt + 6y = e^(-2t)u(t). Transform this into the s-domain including the initial conditions y(0)=1, y'(0)=0, y''(0)=0.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember to express each initial condition in the form related to its derivative.

Question 2

For the equation d^2y/dt^2 + 4y = 8cos(5t) with initial conditions y(0)=0 and y'(0)=1, find Y(s).

πŸ’‘ Hint: Apply the cosine function's transform and incorporate the initial conditions.
