I need some help finding a second solution to $t^2 y''-2ty=3t^2-1$ given the fact that $y_1=t^{-1}$












0














Using the fact that $y_1$=$t^{-1}$ then $y_2$= z $cdot$ $t^{-1}$



$y_2'= z'cdot t^{-1} - z cdot t^{-2}$



$y_2''= z''cdot t^{-1} - z'cdot t^{-2} - z'cdot t^{-2} + 2 cdot z cdot t^{-3}$



Substituting into the original equation:



$t^2 (z''cdot t^{-1} - z'cdot t^{-2} - z'cdot t^{-2} + 2cdot z cdot t^{-3})-2t(z cdot t^{-1})$



Which I then simplified into:



$tcdot z''-4cdot z'+2zcdot t^{-1} -2z = 3 t^2 -1$



I want to use the method of reduction of order to find the second solution, by setting $w=z'$, but there are too many orders of $z$ remaining in the equation. Not sure where I keep going wrong!

    @mamar Your equation hasn't solution and $y_1$ doesn't satisfy it as well.

If $y_1=t^{-1}$ is to be a solution of the homogeneous equation with minimal changes to the given equation, then the equation has to read
$$
t^2y''-2y=3t^2-1.
$$

Then the homogeneous equation is Euler-Cauchy with characteristic polynomial $0=m(m-1)-2=(m-2)(m+1)$. Thus the second basis solution is $y_2=t^2$.



Then a particular solution can be found in the form $y_0=Aln(t)t^2+B$.
