Question:

The complementary function of \[ (D-2)^2y=8e^{-x} \] is

Show Hint

For a repeated auxiliary root \(m\), the complementary function is \((c_1+c_2x)e^{mx}\).
  • \((c_1+c_2x)e^x\)
  • \((c_1+c_2x)e^{-x}\)
  • \((c_1+c_2x)e^{-2x}\)
  • \((c_1+c_2x)e^{2x}\)

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Concept:
The complementary function is obtained from the homogeneous part of the differential equation. Given, \[ (D-2)^2y=8e^{-x} \] For complementary function, we solve \[ (D-2)^2y=0 \]

Step 1: Write the auxiliary equation.
Replace \(D\) by \(m\): \[ (m-2)^2=0 \]

Step 2: Find the roots.
\[ (m-2)^2=0 \] \[ m=2,2 \] So \(m=2\) is a repeated root.

Step 3: Write the complementary function.
For repeated root \(m\), the complementary function is \[ (c_1+c_2x)e^{mx} \] Here, \[ m=2 \] Therefore, \[ C.F.=(c_1+c_2x)e^{2x} \]

Step 4: Final answer.
\[ \boxed{(c_1+c_2x)e^{2x}} \]
