th-order equation to a homogeneous linear (n-1)th-order
Chapter 4, Problem 51E(choose chapter or problem)
PROBLEM 51EThe reduction of order procedure can be used more generally to reduce a homogeneous linear nth-order equation to a homogeneous linear (n-1)th-order equation. For the equation which has f(t) = et as a solution, use the substitution y(t) = v(t)f(t) to reduce this third-order equation to a homogeneous linear second-order equation in the variable w = v’.
