Chapter 2 Second-Order Differential Equations 2.1 The Linear Second-Order Equation 1. It is a routine exercise in differentiation to show that y1 (x) and y2 (x) are solutions of the homogeneous equation, while yp (x) is a solution of the nonhomogeneous equation. The Wronskian of y1 (x) and y2 (x) is W (x) = sin(6x) cos(6x) = −6 sin2 (x) − 6 sin2 (x) = −6, 6 cos(6x) −6 sin(6x) and this is nonzero for all x, s...

ay' + by = 0, integrating factor correct answers µ = exp(∫(b(t)/a(t))dt) ay' + by = h, variation of parameters correct answers Guess y_p=g(x)f(x), where f(x) is the homoegenous solution, and plug into l(y)=ay' + by = h. Result: g' = h(x)/[a(x)f(x)]. We have to INTEGRATE g' and MULTIPLY it by f. ay' + by = h, general solution correct answers homogeneous solution + particular solution Analytic definition correct answers If f is a smooth function, then f is analytic at x₀∈‖R...

2.1 The Linear Second-Order Equation 1. It is a routine exercise in differentiation to show that y1 (x) and y2 (x) are solutions of the homogeneous equation, while yp (x) is a solution of the nonhomogeneous equation. The Wronskian of y1 (x) and y2 (x) is W (x) = sin(6x) cos(6x) = −6 sin2 (x) − 6 sin2 (x) = −6, 6 cos(6x) −6 sin(6x) and this is nonzero for all x, so these solutions are linearly independent on the real line. ...

Differential equations are mathematical expressions involving an unknown function and its derivatives, essential for describing many physical phenomena. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) focus on functions of a single independent variable and their derivatives. A notable type of ODE is the separable differential equation, which can be solved by separating variables and integrating both sides. Initial conditions, which specify the value of the solution at a specific point, are crucial for de...
