Determine whether the following functions are linearly dependent or independent
over a given set J:
) f(a) = 2, g(x) = &, and T= B;
) f(a) =e, g(x) =e, and T= R,
) £(w) = 2, ga) = ale] and T= [1,1], F = (1,00).
. Prove that the transformation x = e! reduces the equation
aga*y” +a, cy +a,y= F(x) (Cauchy Buler Equation)
to a linear differential equation with constant coefficients.
Find the general solution of the following Cauchy-Euler differential equations:
(a) 2y" — 2ey + 2y = 2%;
(b) 28y" — d2%y" + Say! — 8y = dine.
Let fi and fo be two solutions of second-order homogeneous linear differential

where ao, a1,@2 are continuous on real irl (a,b), and ap(z) 4 0, for all x €
{a,8]. Show that if f, and f, are linearly independent on 2,6] and are such that
(ao) = ff (0) = 0 at some point 2» of this interval, then a;(x9) = a2(%0) = 0.
Given that y = 2 is a solution of
(x? + Dy” — 2ay/ + 2y = 0,
find a linearly independent solution by reducing the order.
Solve the following equations using the Method of variation of parameter:
(a) y" +4y = tan 2n,
(b) y" +2y +5y = e*sec20,

If y:(c) is solution of y” + P(x)y' + Q(x)y = Ra(z) and y2(z) is solution of y” +
P(a)y’ + Q(a)y = Ro(a), then show that y(2) = y:(z) + y2(c) is a solution of
y' + P(x)y! + Q(z)y = Ri(x) + Ra(z). Using this result, solve the following
differential equation:

ficients:
(a) 4-24 2c" — 10 sinz;
(b) £4 +24 — 3% — 10y = Bre;

9. Consider the second-order homogeneous linear differential equation,
(a) Find the two linearly independent solutions f, and f, of this equation which
are such that fi(0) = 1, f{(0) = 0, fo(0) =0, and 73(0) = 1.
(b) Express the solution
