13.2 a. Verifying that {y1, y2} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = cos(2x) y1(x) = -2 sin(2x) y1(x) = -4 cos(2x) ,
and
y2(x) = sin(2x) y2(x) = 2 cos(2x) y2(x) = -4 sin(2x) .
Thus, and
y1 + 4y1 = -4 cos(2x) + 4 cos(2x) = 0 , y2 + 4y2 = -4 sin(2x) + 4 sin(2x) = 0 ,
verifying that cos(2x) and sin(2x) are solutions to the given differential equation. Also, it should be obvious that neither is a constant multiple of each other. Hence, {cos(2x) , sin(2x)} is a fundamental set of solutions for the given differential equation.
Solving the initial-value problem: Set
y(x) = A cos(2x) + B sin(2x) .
()
Applying the initial conditions and using the above derivatives, we have
2 = y(0) = A cos(2 ? 0) + B sin(2 ? 0) = A ? 1 + B ? 0 = A , and
6 = y(0) = -2 A sin(2 ? 0) + 2B cos(2 ? 0) - -2 A ? 0 + 2B ? 1 = 2B .
So the solution to the initial-value problem is given by formula () with A = 2 and B = 6/2 = 3 ; that is,
y(x) = 2 cos(2x) + 3 sin(2x) .
13.2 c. Verifying that {y1, y2} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = e2x
y1(x ) = 2e2x
y1(x ) = 4e2x ,
and
y2(x) = e-3x
y2(x ) = -3e-3x
y2(x ) = 9e-3x .
Thus, y1 + y1 - 6y1 = 4e2x + 2e2x - 6e2x = [4 + 2 - 6]e2x = 0 ,
and y2 + y2 - 6y2 = 9e3x - 3e3x - 6e3x = [9 - 3 - 6]e3x = 0 ,
verifying that e2x and e-3x are solutions to the given differential equation. Also, it should be obvious that neither is a constant multiple of each other. Hence, {e2x , e-3x } is a fundamental set of solutions for the given differential equation.
Solving the initial-value problem: Set
y(x) = Ae2x + Be-3x .

Applying the initial conditions and using the above derivatives, we have
8 = y(0) = Ae2?0 + Be-3?0 = A ? 1 + B ? 1 = A + B , and
-9 = y(0) = 2 Ae2?0 - 3Be-3?0 - 2 A ? 1 - 3B ? 1 = 2 A - 3B ,
giving us the algebraic system
A + B = 8 and 2 A - 3B = -9 ,
which can be solved many ways. For now, we'll just solve the first equation for B = 8 - A , plug that into the second equation, obtaining
2 A - 3(8 - A) = -9
5A = 15
A = 15 = 3

,
and then plug that result back into the formula for B . So the solution to the initial-value problem is given by formula () with A = 3 and B = 8 - A = 8 - 3 = 5 ; that is,
y(x) = 3e2x + 4e-3x .
13.2 e. Verifying that {y1, y2} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = x2 y1(x) = 2x y1(x) = 2 ,
and
y2(x) = x3 y2(x) = 3x2 y2(x) = 6x .
Thus, and
x2 y1 - 4x y1 + 6y1 = x2[2] - 4x [2x] + 6 x2 = [2 - 8 + 6]x2 = 0 ,
x2 y2 - 4x y2 + 6y2 = x2[6x] - 4x 3x2 + 6 x3 = [6 - 12 + 6]x3 = 0 ,
verifying that x2 and x3 are solutions to the given differential equation. Also, it should be obvious that neither is a constant multiple of each other. Hence, {x2, x3} is a fundamental
set of solutions for the given differential equation.
Solving the initial-value problem: Set
y(x) = Ax2 + Bx3 .
()
Applying the initial conditions and using the above derivatives, we have
0 = y(1) = A ? 12 + B ? 23 = A + B , and
4 = y(1) = A ? 2 ? 1 + B ? 3 ? 12 = 2 A + 3B .

General Solutions to Homogeneous Linear Differential Equations
So,
A + B = 0 and 2 A + 3B = 4
B = -A and 4 = 2A + 3B = 2A + 3(-A) = -A
B = -A = 4 and A = -4 .
So the solution to the initial-value problem is given by formula () with A = -4 and B = 4 ;
that is,
y(x) = -4x2 + 4x3 .
13.2 g. Verifying that {y1, y2} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = x y1(x) = 1 y1(x) = 0 ,
and
y2(x) = x ln |x| y2(x) = ln |x| + 1 y2(x) = x-1 .
Thus, and
x2 y1 - x y1 + y1 = x2[0] - x [1] + [x] = -x + x = 0 ,
x2 y2 - x y2 + y2 = x2[x-1] - x [ln |x| + 1] + [x ln |x|] = x - x ln |x| - x + x ln |x| = 0 ,
verifying that x and x ln |x| are solutions to the given differential equation. Also, it should be obvious that neither is a constant multiple of each other. Hence, {x, x ln |x|} is a fundamental set of solutions for the given differential equation (on (0, ) ).
Solving the initial-value problem: Set
y(x) = Ax + Bx ln |x| .
()
Applying the initial conditions and using the above derivatives, we have
5 = y(1) = A[1] + B[1 ln |1|] = A + B ? 0 = A , and
3 = y(1) = = A[1] + B[ln |1| + 1] = A + B ? 1 = A + B .
So,
A = 5 and A + B = 3
A = 5 and B = 3 - A = 3 - 5 = -2 .
So the solution to the initial-value problem is given by formula () with A = 5 and B = -2 ; that is,
y(x) = 5x - 2x ln |x| .
13.2 i. Verifying that {y1, y2} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = x2 - 1 y1(x) = 2x y1(x) = 2 ,

and
y2(x) = x + 1 y2(x) = 1 y2(x) = 0 .
Thus,
(x + 1)2 y1 - 2(x + 1)y1 + 2y1 = (x + 1)2 [2] - 2(x + 1) [2x] + 2 x2 - 1
= 2x2 + 4x + 2 - 4x2 + 4x + 2x2 - 2
= [2 - 4 + 2]x2 + [4 - 4]x + [2 - 2] = 0 ,
and (x + 1)2 y2 - 2(x + 1)y2 + 2y2
= (x + 1)2 [0] - 2(x + 1) [1] + 2 [x + 1]
= 2(x + 1) - 2(x + 1) = 0 ,
verifying that x2 - 1 and x + 1 are solutions to the given differential equation. Also, it should be obvious that neither is a constant multiple of each other. Hence, {x2 - 1, x + 1}
is a fundamental set of solutions for the given differential equation.
Solving the initial-value problem: Set
y(x) = A x2 - 1 + B [x + 1] .
()
Applying the initial conditions and using the above derivatives, we have
0 = y(0) = A[02 - 1] + B[0 + 1] = - A + B , and
4 = y(0) = = A[2 ? 0] + B[1] = B .
So,
-A + B = 0 and B = 4
A = B = 4 and B = 4 .
So the solution to the initial-value problem is given by formula () with A = 4 and B = 4 ; that is,
y(x) = 4 x2 - 1 + 4 [x + 1] = 4x2 - 4 + 4x + 4 = 4x2 + 4x .
13.3 a. The equation is
ay + by + cy = 0 with a = x2 , b = -4x and c = 6 .
Each coefficient is continuous on (-, ) , but the first, a is 0 if and only if x = 0 . So the interval must not contain x - 0 , and the largest such interval that also contains x0 = 1 is (0, ) .

13.3 b. In this case,
y(x) = c1x2 + c2x3 and y(x) = 2c1x + 3c2x2 .
Applying the initial conditions, we get
0 = y(0) = c1 ? 02 + c2 ? 03 = 0 , and
-4 = y(0) = 2c1 ? 0 + 3c2 ? 02 = 0 .
So, no matter what c1 and c2 are, y = c1x2 + c2x3 and its derivative will always be 0 when x = 0 , and, hence c1 and c2 cannot be chosen so that y(0) or y(0) is nonzero.
Theorem 13.3 requires that the point x0 at which initial values are given be in an interval (, ) over which the coefficients of the differential equation are continuous with the first one (the a = x2 , here) never being zero. Hence, the theorem requires that the coefficients be continuous and a = 0 at the point x0 at which initial values are given. As noted in the first part of this exercise, while the coefficients are continuous at x = 0 , the first coefficient is zero at x = 0 . So theorem 13.3 does not apply here.
13.5 a. Verifying that {y1, y2, y3} is a fundamental solution set: We have
y1(x) = 1 y1(x) = 0 y1(x) = 0 y1(x) = 0 ,
and
y2(x) = cos(2x) y2(x) = -2 sin(2x)
y2(x) = -4 cos(2x) y2(x) = 8 sin(2x) ,
and
y3(x) = sin(2x) y3(x) = 2 cos(2x)
y3(x) = -4 sin(2x) y3(x) = -8 cos(2x) .
Thus,
y1 + 4y1 = 0 + 4 ? 0 = 0 ,
y2 + 4y2 = 8 sin(2x) + 4[-2 sin(2x)] = [8 - 8] sin(2x) = 0 , and
y3 + 4y3 = -8 cos(2x) + 4[2 cos(2x)] = [-8 + 8] cos(2x) = 0 ,
verifying that 1 , cos(2x) and sin(2x) are solutions to the given differential equation. To confirm that they form a fundamental set of solutions for this third-order equation, we must show that they form a linearly independent set. To do that, first form the corresponding Wronskian,
y1 y2 y3
1 cos(2x) sin(2x)
W (x) = y1 y2 y3 = 0 -2 sin(2x) 2 cos(2x) .
y1 y2 y3
0 -4 cos(2x) -4 sin(2x)
