CAIE A-Level Further Math A2 2.6.5 Differential Substitutions Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 4]

It is given that x=t3yx=t^{3} y and

t3 d2y dt2+(4t3+6t2)dy dt+(13t3+12t2+6t)y=61e12t.t^{3} \frac{\mathrm{~d}^{2} y}{\mathrm{~d} t^{2}}+\left(4 t^{3}+6 t^{2}\right) \frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{~d} t}+\left(13 t^{3}+12 t^{2}+6 t\right) y=61 \mathrm{e}^{\frac{1}{2} t} .

Show that

d2x dt2+4 dx dt+13x=6e12t\frac{\mathrm{d}^{2} x}{\mathrm{~d} t^{2}}+4 \frac{\mathrm{~d} x}{\mathrm{~d} t}+13 x=6 \mathrm{e}^{\frac{1}{2} t}
