Problem #5 Solving 2nd-Order, Linear, Homogeneous ODES Given the 2nd-order, linear, homogeneous ODE y"(x) + P(x)y'(x) + Q(x)y(x) = 0, it can be shown that if the quantity Q'x) + 2P(x)Q(x) (Q(x))32 is a constant, then the transformation -S JaQx) dx = Z for any non-zero constant a will transform the original ODE to the ODE Y"(2) + -Y'(2) + 금y(2) = 0 2 Ja which has constant coefficients. The solution to the original ODE is then - [ JaQ¢x) dx. y(x) = ¥(2) with Z = Use this idea to determine a general solution to the following ODE 2xy" (x) + y'(x) + dy(x) = 0 for x > 0.
Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.
