Ok we are given the ODE
[tex]
{y}^{\prime\prime}(t) + \omega^2{y(t)} = {r(t)}
[/tex]
[tex]
r(t) = cos\omega{t}
[/tex]
[tex] \omega = 0.5,0.8,1.1,1.5,5.0,10.0
[/tex]
I know you can use variation of paramaters to solve for it so I start by finding the complementary solution.
[tex]
{y}^{\prime\prime}(t) + \omega^2{y(t)} = 0
[/tex]
We know solutions are of the form
[tex]
y = \exp{(mt)}
[/tex]
so after taking derivatives and what not we get the fundamental solution
[tex]
\cos\omega{t}, \sin\omega{t}
[/tex]
Our complementary solution is
[tex]
{y}_{c}=Acos \omega{t} + Bsin \omega{t}
[/tex]
For the particular solution we set
[tex]
{y}^{\prime\prime}(t) + \omega^2{y(t)} = cos\omega{t}
[/tex]
We then use a Fourier series to expand
[tex]
cos\omega{t}
[/tex]
Then proceed to solve for it but the problem I'm having is that I'm getting the Fourier series to be zero which is strange. I know that there will be no
[tex]
{b}_{n}
[/tex]
term since cos is even but its still werid why I'm getting zero for
[tex]
{a}_{0}, {a}_{n}
[/tex]
Any help would be appreciated.
