2. Verify that each of the given functions is a solution of the differential equation, and use
their Wronskian to show that these solutions are linearly independent.
Verify the linear combination of the solutions is also a solution.
(a) 𝑦1 = 𝑒 𝑥 𝑦2 = 𝑒 −2𝑥 𝑦" + 𝑦′ − 2𝑦 = 0
2 −1
(b) 𝑦1 = 𝑥 𝑦2 = 𝑥 𝑥 2 𝑦" − 2𝑦 = 0
(c) 𝑦1 = 𝑒 −𝑥 𝑦2 = 𝑥𝑒 −𝑥 𝑦" + 2𝑦′ + 𝑦 = 0
7. Solve the following nonhomogeneous with initial value using the method of
undetermined coefficients.
(a) 5𝑦" + 𝑦′ = −6𝑥 𝑦(0) = 0 𝑦 ′ (0) = 0
(b) 𝑦" + 4𝑦′ + 5𝑦 = 35𝑒 −4𝑥 𝑦(0) = −3 𝑦 ′ (0) = 1
(c) 𝑦" + 25𝑦 = 5𝑥 𝑦(0) = 5 𝑦 ′ (0) = −4.8
(d) 𝑦" − 2𝑦′ + 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 − 8𝑥 + 4 𝑦(0) = 0.3 𝑦′(0) = 0.3
