Second Order Linear Differential Equations
www.personal.psu.edu › sxt104 › classIn general, given a second order linear equation with the y-term missing y″ + p(t) y′ = g(t), we can solve it by the substitutions u = y′ and u′ = y″ to change the equation to a first order linear equation. Use the integrating factor method to solve for u, and then integrate u to find y. That is: 1. Substitute : u′ + p(t) u = g(t) 2.

Second Order Differential Equations
www.mathsisfun.com › calculus › differentialTo solve a linear second order differential equation of the form. d 2 ydx 2 + p dydx + qy = 0. where p and q are constants, we must find the roots of the characteristic equation. r 2 + pr + q = 0. There are three cases, depending on the discriminant p 2 - 4q. When it is. positive we get two real roots, and the solution is. y = Ae r 1 x + Be r 2 x
