Answer Place the speed bumps so that the car will hit them every two seconds (the natural period of the car) In seconds, the car travels 76/6 feet, or 9 feet, 4 inches 9 (a) (A Superposition Principle) Suppose y is a solution to ay +by +cy = f(t) and y is a solution to ay + by + cy = g(t) where the a, b and c are the same constants in each equation, but f and g may be different Show that y = αy + βy is a solution to where α and β are constants ay + by + cy = αf(t) + βg(t) (b) Given that y (t) = is a solution to 5 and that y (t) = 3 t sin(t) is a solution to 4 find the general solution to y + 4y = y + 4y = 3 cos(t), y + 4y = cos(t) Answer (a) Use the linearity property of derivatives and plug in the results: ay + by + cy = a(αy + βy ) + b(αy + βy ) + c(αy + βy ) = α(ay + by + cy ) + β(ay + by + cy ) = αf(t) + βg(t) (b) y = c cos(t) + c sin(t) t sin(t)

7 0 (a) Show that y(t) = k cos(ωt)+k sin(ωt) can be written in the form y(t) = A cos(ωt φ) Find formulas for A and φ (b) Convert y(t) = 3 cos(4t) sin(4t) to the form y(t) = A cos(ωt φ) (c) Convert y(t) = cos(4t) + 3 sin(4t) to the form y(t) = A cos(ωt φ) Answer Using the identity cos(α β) = cos α cos β + sin α sin β one obtains A cos(ωt φ) = A[cos(ωt) cos(φ) + sin(ωt) sin(φ) = k cos(ωt) + k sin(ωt) Therefore, k = A cos φ and k = A sin φ, consequently, () A = k + k, cos φ = k A, and sin φ = k A (b) First A = 3 + = Thus sin φ = and cos φ = 3 Therefore, one choice for φ is φ = π/6 Thus y(t) = cos(4t + π/6) (c) First A = + 3 = Thus sin φ = 3 and cos φ = Therefore, one choice for φ is φ = π Thus y(t) = cos(4t π) 3 3 As a double check in each of (b) and (c), you can graph the original function along with your answer and see if the graphs are the same
