This is a practice question from my Differential Equations course.

How’d they get from the given equation to the answer? Textbook is very unclear; so I’m hoping for more detail and less skipping of steps…

Thank you for your assistance in understanding this.

### Differential Equations in Oscillatory Systems

In this section, we explore the solution of the given initial value problem by expressing it as a sum of two oscillations, following the form presented in Equation (8).

Equation (8) is presented as:

\[ x(t) = C \cos(\omega_0 t - \alpha) + \frac{F_0/m}{\omega_0^2 - \omega^2} \cos \omega t, \tag{8} \]

where:
- \( x(t) \) represents the displacement as a function of time.
- \( C \) and \( \alpha \) are constants determined by initial conditions.
- \( \omega_0 \) is the natural angular frequency of the system.
- \( F_0 \) is the amplitude of the external driving force.
- \( m \) is the mass of the oscillating object.
- \( \omega \) is the angular frequency of the driving force.

The initial value problem, with given initial conditions, is formulated as:

\[ mx'' + kx = F_0 \cos \omega t, \]

with the conditions:
- \( \omega = \omega_0 \)
- \( x(0) = 0 \)
- \( x'(0) = v_0 \)

Here,
- \( x'' \) denotes the second derivative of \( x \) with respect to time \( t \), representing acceleration.
- \( k \) is the spring constant.

In solving this problem, the motion is characterized by two components: the natural oscillation of the system and the forced oscillation due to the external driving force. The complete solution is a superposition of these two oscillatory motions.
