a+b+c=0 is it homogeneous equation?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

lol ... never seen such type of equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let a = y'', b= y' & c =y. And g(t)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is the asker let a = y'', b= y' & c =y. And g(t) is not equal to 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@experimentX why what's wrong with this equation?

OpenStudy (experimentx):

i though they were constants.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway if a = y'', b= y' & c =y. And g(t) is not equal to 0 then it's non homogeneous equation so does it mean that if an equation is equal to 0 then it's homo otherwise nonhomo? (anything on the right side is zero = homo otherwise nonhomo?)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there are a few different meanings of the term homogenous

OpenStudy (amistre64):

Ax = 0 is one way to define a homog eq and separable is another wat to define a homog eq

@amistre64 thanks for replying to my any problem after such a long time :D actually I am lil confused that at http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/SecondOrderConcepts.aspx the definition of homo & non homo makes me to think that if an equation is equal to 0 then it's homo otherwise nonhomo (about diff eq) but on the other side when we are talking about it's system at http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/DE/SystemsDE.aspx (at the bottom of the webpage) it says the same thing but this time g(t) is not on the other side of equation it's in the equation

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the bottom one is the linear algebra vector space definition of an homog eq

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it now I remember it thanks @amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep
