(choose chapter or problem)

Wronskian The Wronskian of two differentiable functions f and g, denoted by W(f, g), is defined as the function given by the determinant

\(W(f, g)=\left|\begin{array}{ll} f & g \\ f^{\prime} & g^{\prime} \end{array}\right| \)

The functions f and g are linearly independent when there exists at least one value of x for which \(W(f, g) \neq 0\). In Exercises 65-68, use the Wronskian to verify the linear independence of the two functions.

\(y_{1}=e^{a x}\)

\(y_{2}=x e^{a x}\)

Text Transcription:

W(f,g)=|f g f’ g’|

W(f,g) neq 0

y_1=e^ax

y_2=x e^ax
