Questions 4-6: If a second order linear equation is missing the y-term, then it is essentially a first order linear equation in terms of y?. Therefore, it can be solved easily, even if it has non-constant coefficients by: Converting it into a first order linear equation with the substitution u=y?, then solve the new equation for u using the integrating factor method, and finally integrate the result to get y. Find the general solution for question 4, and find the particular solution of each initial value problem for questions 5 and 6. 4. y??+2y?=4t?6e?2t. 5. (1+t2)y??+2ty?=1+t22?,y(0)=?2?,y?(0)=u(0)=0. 6. ty???y?=t2+t,y(1)=1, y?(1)=5
