Differential Equations HW problem. Solution and work needed, please. I have attached a picture of the section 4.1 theorem from my textbook as well. However, you can refer to the textbook if needed. It is called "A first course in differential equations the classic 5th edition" by Dennis Zill.

Consider the second-order, linear, homogeneous differential equation with initial conditions, x²y" +xy - 4y = 0 y(0) = 0 y'(0) = 0 This initial value problem has many solutions, for instance y1 = x2 and y2 = 0. Does this violate the existence and uniqueness theorem for linear differential equations, from section 4.1? Explain.

THEOREM4.1 Existence of a Unique Solution Let a,(x), a-1(x),.., a (x), a(x), and g(x) be continuous on an interval / and let a,(x) + 0 for every x in this interval. If x = xo is any point in this in- terval, then a solution y(x) of the initial-value problem (1) exists on the in- terval and is unique. EXAMPLE 1 Solution of an IVP You should verify that the function y = 3e + e 2 initial-value problem 3x is a solution of the SECTION 4.1 Preliminary Theory 113 y" - 4y = 12x, y(0) = 4, y'(0) = 1. Now the differential equation is linear, the coefficients as well as g(x) = 12x are continuous, and a(x) = 1+ 0 on any interval containing x = 0. We conclude from Theorem 4.1 that the given function is the unique solution. EXAMPLE 2 Trivial Solution of an IVP The initial-value problem 3y" + 5y" - y' + 7y = 0, y(1) -0, y'(1) = 0, y"(1) = 0 possesses the trivial solution y = 0. Since the third-order equation is linear with constant coefficients, it follows that all the conditions of Theorem 4.1 are ful- filled. Hence y = 0 is the only solution on any interval containing x = 1. EXAMPLE 3 Solution of an IVP The function y = sin 4x is a solution of the initial-value problem y" + 16y = 0, y(0) = 0, y'(0) = 1. It follows from Theorem 4.1 that on any interval containing x = 0 the solution is unique. The requirements in Theorem 4.1 that a,(x), i = 0, 1, 2, ..., n be continu- ous and a,(x) + O for every x in / are both important. Specifically, if a,(x) = 0 for some x in the interval, then the solution of a linear initial-value problem may not be unique or even exist.
