TT1 Problem 2 (morning)

<< < (2/2)

Weina Zhu:
I am trying to go the cosh~sinh way, but cannot continue when finding the second solution, can someone help me out of this?
Thanks in advance. I tried to see classmates' post, but they gave the answer directly;D

Samarth Agarwal:
Integration of (cosh(x) + 1)/(e^x + 1)^2 wrt dx = -e^(-x)/2 + c
Therefore g = (e^x + 1)(-e^(-x)/2 + c)

Victor Ivrii:
Monika did everything right, I also commend her comment to Doris' post.

Weina
You are right that equation is
$$-2 (\cosh(x)+1)y''+2\sinh(x)y'+2y=0$$
and we can rewrite it as
$$ (\cosh(x)+1)y''-\sinh(x)y'-y=0$$
and then
$$W=C\exp\Bigl(\int \frac{\sinh(x)}{\cosh(x)+1}\,dx\Bigr) = C\exp\Bigl(\ln (\cosh(x)+1)\Bigr)=C_1(\cosh(x)+1).$$
But it is not another way, just another form.
