Differential Equations
In each case check that1hey2they are solutions of the differential equation, they are linearly
independent and determine the solution for the initial value problem.

5. Find a transformation that converts the differential equation into a differential equation.
with constant coefficients and then solve the initial value problem.
6. Consider the equation y00+p(x)y0+q(x)y= 0 and a differentiable function f(x) such that q(x) =
f 00 (x)+p(x)f0 (x)
(f0 (x))2 . Suppose that the function q(x) is constant. Prove that the change of variables
t = f(x) transforms the equation into an equation with constant coefficients.
a)y 00-y0-2y=e2x
b)x 2 y 00+ 5xy0-12y = ln(x)
c)x 2 y 00+xy0+ 4y = sin(2 ln(x))
d ) y 00-3y0+ 2y= cos(e−x )
e)x 2 y 00+ 7xy + 9y = 27 ln(x), y(1) = 1, y0 (1) = -4
