Choose the solutions for the differential equation. Select all that apply. \[3x^{2}y"+6xy'-6y=0\] \[y=e^{}\]\[y=x^{3}\]\[y=e^{-x}\]\[y=-2y^{-3}\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

* first one is \[y=e^{x}\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

* last one \[y=x^{-2}\]

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

also did this, but it hasn't helped me \[y=e^{x}\rightarrow y'=e^{x}\rightarrow y"=e^{x}\] \[y=x^{3}\rightarrow y'=3x^{2}\rightarrow y"=6x\] \[y=e^{-x}\rightarrow y'=-e^{-x}\rightarrow y"=e^{x}\] \[y=x^{-2}\rightarrow y'=-2x^{-3}\rightarrow y"=6x^{-4}\]

OpenStudy (surana):

@Nnesha ? Could you help, please?

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

@pooja195 do you know how to do this?

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

@zepdrix help?

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

@hero?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Why didn't taking derivatives help you? :o Hmm

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

Well none of them were a solution so I guess I goofed, but I'm not sure how

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh hmm :) \[\large\rm 3x^2y''+6xy'-6y\]

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Your derivatives look correct, so that's a good start. Maybe just input one of them incorrectly, hmm.

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

I guess I'll rewrite them to see if I get it right.

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Ooo I think I see a solution :) I won't spoil the fun though, while you're typing hehe

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

\[3x^{2}e^{x}+6xe^{x}-6e^{x}=0\] \[3x^{2}(6x)+6x*3x^{2}-6x^{3}=0\] \[3x^{2}e^{-x}-6xe^{-x}-6e^{-x}=0\] \[3x^{2}6x^{-4}+6x(-2x^{-3})-6x^{-2}=0\] is this written right?

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Hmm ya those look correct :)

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

smh the last one is a solution isn't it

zepdrix (zepdrix):

yayyy \c:/

OpenStudy (kkutie7):

lol thanks for the help. now I have to go and do more =/

zepdrix (zepdrix):

:D
