1. Problem Description

We are asked to solve the second-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation yy=22xy'' - y' = 2 - 2x with initial conditions y(0)=1y(0) = 1 and y(0)=1y'(0) = 1.

2. Solution Steps

First, we solve the homogeneous equation yy=0y'' - y' = 0.
The characteristic equation is r2r=0r^2 - r = 0, which factors as r(r1)=0r(r-1) = 0.
Thus, the roots are r1=0r_1 = 0 and r2=1r_2 = 1.
The general solution to the homogeneous equation is yh(x)=c1e0x+c2e1x=c1+c2exy_h(x) = c_1 e^{0x} + c_2 e^{1x} = c_1 + c_2 e^x.
Now we find a particular solution to the non-homogeneous equation yy=22xy'' - y' = 2 - 2x.
Since the right-hand side is a polynomial of degree 1, we try a solution of the form yp(x)=Ax2+Bx+Cy_p(x) = Ax^2 + Bx + C. However, since r=0r=0 is a root of the characteristic equation, we must multiply by xx. So, let yp(x)=Ax2+Bxy_p(x) = Ax^2 + Bx. Then, yp(x)=2Ax+By_p'(x) = 2Ax + B and yp(x)=2Ay_p''(x) = 2A. Substituting these into the given differential equation:
2A(2Ax+B)=22x2A - (2Ax + B) = 2 - 2x.
2A2AxB=22x2A - 2Ax - B = 2 - 2x.
Equating coefficients, we have:
2A=2-2A = -2, so A=1A = 1.
2AB=22A - B = 2, so 2(1)B=22(1) - B = 2, which means B=0B = 0.
Thus, yp(x)=x2y_p(x) = x^2.
The general solution is y(x)=yh(x)+yp(x)=c1+c2ex+x2y(x) = y_h(x) + y_p(x) = c_1 + c_2 e^x + x^2.
Now we apply the initial conditions.
y(0)=c1+c2e0+02=c1+c2=1y(0) = c_1 + c_2 e^0 + 0^2 = c_1 + c_2 = 1.
y(x)=c2ex+2xy'(x) = c_2 e^x + 2x.
y(0)=c2e0+2(0)=c2=1y'(0) = c_2 e^0 + 2(0) = c_2 = 1.
Since c2=1c_2 = 1, we have c1+1=1c_1 + 1 = 1, so c1=0c_1 = 0.
Therefore, y(x)=0+1ex+x2=ex+x2y(x) = 0 + 1 e^x + x^2 = e^x + x^2.

3. Final Answer

y(x)=ex+x2y(x) = e^x + x^2
