Q1:- Determine whether the set of functions {𝒇𝟏 (𝒙) = 𝒆𝒙 , 𝒇𝟐 (𝒙) =

𝒆−𝒙 , 𝒇𝟑 (𝒙) = 𝒙𝒆𝒙 } is linearly independent on the interval (−∞ , ∞ ).

Q2:- Verify that 𝒚 = 𝒄𝟏 𝒆𝟐𝒙 + 𝒄𝟐 𝒆𝟓𝒙 + 𝟔𝒆𝒙 is the general solutions of

𝒚′′ − 𝟕𝒚′ + 𝟏𝟎𝒚 = 𝟐𝟒𝒆𝒙 .

Q3:- Given that 𝒚𝟏 is a solution of the following DE, find the general
solution
𝒙𝟐 𝒚′′ − 𝟑𝒙𝒚′ + 𝟒𝒚 = 𝟎, 𝒚𝟏 = 𝒙𝟐

Q4:- Given that 𝒚𝟏 is a solution of the following DE, find the general
solution
a) 𝟒𝒙𝟐 𝒚′′ − 𝟑𝒙𝒚′ + 𝟓𝒚 = 𝟎; 𝒚𝟏 = 𝒙𝟐 𝐜𝐨𝐬(𝒍𝒏𝒙)
b) 𝒚′′ − 𝒚 = 𝟎; 𝒚𝟏 (𝒙) = 𝒄𝒐𝒔𝒉𝒙

Q5:- Solve the following DE:

a) 𝒚′′′ + 𝟑𝒚′′ − 𝟒𝒚 = 𝟎
b) 𝟏𝟔𝒚′′′′ + 𝟐𝟒𝒚′′ + 𝟗𝒚 = 𝟎
c) 𝒚′′′ − 𝟑𝒚′′ + 𝟑𝒚′ − 𝒚 = 𝟎
