The Wronskian & Variation of Parameters · Medium problem

Solving y′′+y=sin⁡ty''+y=\sin t by variation of parameters with y1=cos⁡t, y2=sin⁡ty_1=\cos t,\ y_2=\sin t gives u2′=cos⁡tsin⁡t=12sin⁡2tu_2'=\cos t\sin t=\tfrac12\sin2t, so u2(t)=−14cos⁡2t+Cu_2(t)=-\tfrac14\cos2t+C. Given that u1(0)=0u_1(0)=0, find the value of CC for which yp′(0)=0y_p'(0)=0.
