Chapter 7, Problem 52

(choose chapter or problem)

(Principle of superposition) Prove that if \(y_{1}(x)\) and \(y_{2}(x)\) are solutions to a linear homogeneous differential equation, \(y^{\prime \prime}+p(x) y^{\prime}+q(x) y=0\), then the function \(y(x)=c_{1} y_{1}(x)+c_{2} y_{2}(x)\), where \(c_{1}\) and \(c_{2}\) are constants, is also a solution.

Text Transcription:

y_1 (x)

y_2 (x)

y^prime prime + p(x)y^prime + q(x)y = 0

y(x)=c_1 y_1 (x) + c_2 y_2 (x)

c_1

c_2
