find y''=y'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \(y=c_1+c_2e^{x}\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 \(e^{mx}\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got it thanx :)
