Concept explainers
Explain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample.
a. The general solution of a second-order linear
b. If yh is a solution of a homogeneous differential equation y" + py' + qy = 0 and yp is a particular solution of the equation y″ + py′ + qy = f, then yp + cyh is also a particular solution, for any constant c.
c. The functions {l – cos2 x, 5 sin2 x} are linearly independent on the interval [0, 2π].
d. If y1 and y2 are solutions of the equation y" + yy' = 0, then y1 + y2 is also a solution of the equation.
e. The initial value problem y" + 2y = 0, y(0) = 4 has a unique solution.

The bottom of the ladder begins by being 12 feet from the wall but begins moving away at the rate of 0.1 feet per second. At what rate is the top of the ladder slipping down the wall? You may use a calculator.arrow_forwardExplain the focus and reasons for establishment of 12.4.1(root test) and 12.4.2(ratio test)arrow_forward
