The differential equation d2ydt2+ω2y=0 has the general solution y=Acos(ωt)+Bsin(ωt). Also given are the initial values: y(a)=A,y′(a)=B.
I tried:
y(a)=Acos(ωa)+Bsin(ωa)=A
y′(a)=−ωAsin(ωa)+ωBcos(ωa)=B
And then substituted A and B into the general solution:
y = (A\cos(\omega a) + B\sin(\omega a))\cosωt + \omega (−A\sin(\omega a) + B\cos(\omega a))\sin(\omega t)
From here I can't get it to work. I want to simplify and express y with the subtraction formulas.
The answer is y = A\cos(\omega (t−a)) + \frac{B}{\omega}\sin(\omega (t−a))
I know how the formulas work, But I can't figure out how \frac{B}{\omega} got there.
Please help, I'm stuck.
