d2 y dy
1. Solve the differential equation 2 2
−3 + y=0.
dx dx

Let, y=emx before a trail solution of (i) then,

dy
Therefore, =m emx
dx

d2 y 2 mx
2
=m e
dx

Now from (1) we get,

2 m2 e mx −3 m emx +e mx =0

=> e mx ( 2 m 2−3 m+1 )=0

=> ( 2 m 2−3 m+ 1 )=0

=> (2 m 2−2 m−m+ 1)=0

=> (2 m−1)(m−1)=0

1
=> m=1 or m=
2

Hence the general solution is,

y=c1 e x +c 2 e 2 (ans)

2. Solve the differential equation −3 +4 y=0.
d x3 d x2

Solution:

Let y=emx a trail solution of (i) then,

dy
Therefore, =m emx
dx
 d2 y 2 mx
2
=m e
dx

d3 y 3 mx
3
=m e
dx

Now from (i) we get,

e mx ( m3−3 m2 + 4 ) =0

=> ( m 3−3 m 2 +4 )=0

=> ( m 3 +m 2−4 m 2−4 m+ 4 m+4 )=0

=> m 2 ( m+1 )−4 m ( m+1 )+ 4 ( m+1 )=0

=> (m¿¿ 2−4 m+4)(m+1)=0 ¿

=> ( m+1 )( m−2 )( m−2 )=0

Therefore , m=−1,2,2

Then the solution is , y=c1 e− x +(c 2+ x c 3 )e 2 x (Ans)
