**Problem 5: Solving Differential Equations Using Reduction of Order**

**(a)** Solve the differential equation: 

\[ y'' - 4y' + 4y = 0 \]

where \( y = e^{2x} \) is a given solution.

---

**(b)** Solve the differential equation: 

\[ y'' + 2y' + y = 0 \]

where \( y = xe^{-x} \) is a given solution.

---

These problems involve finding additional solutions to the given second-order linear homogeneous differential equations by employing the method of reduction of order, starting with one known solution.
