(1) Find the
general solution of the differential equation 4y''-12y'+9y=0.
The auxiliary equation is 4-12m+9==0.
Therefore, there is only one (repeated) root, y = 3/2.
Solution to D.E. is y = +x
(2) Find a differential
operator that annihilates the function. y=cos(x/2).
+
(3) Find three linearly
independent functions that are annihilated by the differential operator -10+25D
-
10
+ 25D =
The functions are:
