The solution of this homogeneous DE can be obtained by solving its auxiliary equation,
\(m^2-m=0 \implies m(m-1)=0\), which gives the zeros m=1 and m=0.
Thus, the general solution is \(y=c_1+c_2e^{x}\).

do it by series solution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm not sure if it can be done that way.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have answer a0-a1+a1e^x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's known that the solution of a DE of the given form is something of the form \(e^{mx}\).

That's right! You can consider \(a_0+a_1\) as another constant, call it \(a_2\). It's the same thing.

ri8 but what about series procedure i have to solve it by series solution or laplace
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It can be solved by Laplace only if you're given its initial value, i.e y(0). I don't such a DE is solved using series solutions though.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y(0) and y'(0) actually.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1 and o respectively

Then you can use Laplace! Or just plug these values in the solution I gave above to get c_1 and c_2.
