Solved: (Double root) If D2 + aD + hI has distinct roots

Chapter 2, Problem 2.1.76

(choose chapter or problem)

(Double root) If \(D^{2}+a D+b I\) has distinct roots \(\mu\)and \(\lambda\), show that a particular solution is \(y=\left(e^{\mu x}-e^{\lambda x}\right) /(\mu-\lambda)\). Obtain from this a solution \(x e^{\lambda x}\) by letting \(\mu \rightarrow \lambda\) and applying l'Hôpital's rule.

Text Transcription:

D^2+aD+bI

mu

lambda

y=(e^mu x - e^lambda x)/(mu-lambda)

xe^lambda x

mu rightarrow lambda
