𝑦 = 𝐶1 + 𝐶2𝑒
Solution:
3𝑥

𝑦' = 3𝐶2𝑒 (Eq
...
2)
Multiply (Eq

2);
3𝑦' = 9𝐶2𝑒

3𝑥

3𝑥

𝑦'' = 9𝐶2𝑒

___________
3𝑦' − 𝑦'' = 0
Thus,
𝑦'' − 3𝑦' = 0 Ans

𝑥

...
𝑦 = 𝑥 + 𝐶1𝑒 + 𝐶2𝑒

−𝑥

Solution:
𝑥

−𝑥

𝑦' = 1 + 𝐶1𝑒 − 𝐶2𝑒
𝑥

−𝑥

𝑦'' = 𝐶1𝑒 + 𝐶2𝑒

𝑥

But 𝑦 − 𝑥 = 𝐶1𝑒 + 𝐶2𝑒
Thus,
𝑦'' = 𝑦 − 𝑥
𝑦'' − 𝑦 =− 𝑥 Ans

6𝑦' − 3𝑦'' =− 3𝐶2𝑒

3𝑥

2𝑦' − 𝑦'' =− 3𝐶2𝑒

___________________
6𝑦 − 3𝑦' − 2𝑦' + 𝑦'' = 0
Thus,
𝑦'' − 5𝑦' + 6𝑦 = 0 Ans

𝑦 = 𝐶1 + 𝐶2𝑒
Solution:

−4𝑥

𝑦' =− 4𝐶2𝑒

−4𝑥

𝑦'' = 16𝐶2𝑒

(Eq

2);
−4𝑥

4𝑦' =− 16𝐶2𝑒

−4𝑥

𝑦'' = 16𝐶2𝑒

_______________
4𝑦' + 𝑦'' = 0
Thus,
𝑦'' + 4𝑦' = 0 Ans
