If y₁ = 2x+2 and y₂= -x²/2 are the solutions of the equation y= xy´+( y´)²/2 ,
Then are the constant multiples c₁y₁ and c₂y₂ , where c₁,c₂ are arbitary, also the solutions of the given DE ? Is the sum y₁+y₂ a solution ? Justify your answer .
Show that , for the DE
d²y/dx² + a(x) dy/dx+b(x)y=0
exp(mx) is a particular integral if m²+am+b=0 . Hence find the value of m so that exp(mx) is a particular integral of the equation
(x-2) d²y/dx² - (4x-7)dy/dx+(4x-6)y=0
