(a)
Given y=exsinx.
Differentiate with respect to x using the product rule:
dxdy==exsinx+excosxy+excosx
Differentiate again to find the second derivative:
dx2d2y===dxdy+excosx−exsinxdxdy+(dxdy−y)−y2dxdy−2y
Differentiate continuously to find higher derivatives:
dx3d3y=2dx2d2y−2dxdy
dx4d4y=======2dx3d3y−2dx2d2y2(2dx2d2y−2dxdy)−2dx2d2y4dx2d2y−4dxdy−2dx2d2y2dx2d2y−4dxdy2(2dxdy−2y)−4dxdy4dxdy−4y−4dxdy−4y
Since the fourth derivative is directly proportional to y:
dx5d5y=dx6d6y=−4dxdy−4dx2d2y
Thus, dx6d6y=kdx2d2y, where k=−4.
(b)
To find the Maclaurin series expansion, evaluate the derivatives at x=0:
y(0)=y′(0)=y′′(0)=y′′′(0)=y(4)(0)=y(5)(0)=y(6)(0)=e0sin0=0y(0)+e0cos0=0+1=12y′(0)−2y(0)=2(1)−2(0)=22y′′(0)−2y′(0)=2(2)−2(1)=2−4y(0)=−4(0)=0−4y′(0)=−4(1)=−4−4y′′(0)=−4(2)=−8
The Maclaurin series expansion is given by:
y===y(0)+y′(0)x+2!y′′(0)x2+3!y′′′(0)x3+4!y(4)(0)x4+5!y(5)(0)x5+6!y(6)(0)x6+…0+(1)x+22x2+62x3+0+120−4x5+720−8x6+…x+x2+31x3−301x5−901x6
These are the first 5 non-zero terms in the expansion.
