Question 1
Verify that the indicated function is a solution of the given differential equa-
tion
y ′′ − 2y ′ + y = 0; y = xex
u′′ (t) + 2u′ (t) + 2u(t) = 0; u(t) = e−t sin t, u(t) = e−t cos t
Question 2
In the problems below, solve the given differential equation for its general
solution in explicit form by using either the method of direct integration,
separation of variables, or indicate that the ODE cannot be solved by either
method.
