Theorem 3.2.7 (Abel's Theorem)4 If y1 and y2 are solutions of the second-order linear differential equation (22) L[y]=y′′+p(t)y′+q(t)y=0 where p and q are continuous on an open interval I, then the Wronskian W[y1, y2](t) is given by (23) W[y1,y2](t)=cexp(−∫p(t)dt) where c is a certain constant that depends on y1 and y2, but not on t. Further, W[y1, y2](t) either is zero for all t in I (if c = 0) or else is never zero in I (if c ≠ 0).

Question
Theorem 3.2.7 (Abel's Theorem)4
If y1 and y2 are solutions of the second-order linear differential equation
(22)
L[y]=y′′+p(t)y′+q(t)y=0
where p and q are continuous on an open interval I, then the Wronskian W[y1, y2](t) is given by
(23)
W[y1,y2](t)=cexp(−∫p(t)dt)
where c is a certain constant that depends on y1 and y2, but not on t. Further, W[y1, y2](t) either is zero for all t in I (if c = 0) or else is never zero in I (if c ≠ 0).
