Question
Let y1 and y2 be solutions of the differential equation y" + P(x)y' + Q(r)y = 0. (1) (We will assume that P and Q are continuous on any interval.) Since y1 and y2 are solutions of (1), we have yK + P(x)y½ + Q(x)yı = 0, (2) 2 + P(x)y½ + Q(x)y2 2 = 0. (3) (a) From equations (2) and (3), eliminate the terms Q(r)yı and Q(r)y2 to form a single equation. (b) Let W(x) = W(y1, 42)(x) be the Wronskian of y1 and y2. Show that W' = y1 – {y2 . (c) Use the results in parts (a) and (b) to form a first-order differential equation in W. (d) Solve the first-order DE from part (c) to obtain a formula for W.
