Quiz 4 solutions Problem 1. Solve the initial value problem: 2y 00 + y 0 − y = 0, y(0) = 3, y 0 (0) = 0. Solution. To solve the homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients we first solve the corresponding characteristic equation: 2r2 + r − 1 = 0, r1,2 = √ −1± 1+4·2 , 2·2 r1 = −1, r2 = 12 . Thus, we have particular solutions y1 = er1 x = e−x , y2 = er2 x = ex/2 and the general solution is of the form y(x) = c1 y1 + c2 y2 = c1 e−x + c2 ex/2 . To solve the initial value problem plug x = 0 and use the initial conditions: 3 = y(0) = c1 +c2 , 0 = y 0 (0) = −c1 + 21 c2 ⇒ c2 = 2c1 , 3c1 = 3, c1 = 1, c2 = 2. Thus, y(x) = e−x + 2ex/2 . Problem 2. Using Wronskian, prove that the functions y1 = x, y2 = ln x, y3 = x ln x are linearly independent on (0, +∞). Solution. By definition, Wronskian of y1 , y2 , y3 is the following determinant: y1 y2 y3 x ln x x ln x 1 1 + ln x . W (x) = y10 y20 y30 = 1 x 1 y100 y200 y300 0 − 12 x x According to Theorem on Wronskian, if Wronskian is not identically equal to zero (that is, there exists a point x for which W (x) 6= 0) then the functions are linearly independent. Thus, we need to show that W (x) is not identically equal to zero. One of the ways, we can first calculate the determinant. Then we obtain W (x) = x2 − lnxx . 1 One has: W (x) = 0 if and only if ln x = 2, that is x = e2 . Therefore, W (x) is not identically equal to 0. Another way, instead of calculating the determinant for arbitrary x (which can be messy), we can guess a point x at which the determinant is not equal to zero and for which calculations are simple. For instance, take x = 1. Then we have: 1 0 0 W (1) = 1 1 1 . 0 −1 1 This determinant is much simpler to calculate. We have W (1) = 2. Therefore, W (x) is not identically equal to zero and functions are linearly independent. 2
