a) Find the solution y 1 satisfying y 0 1 , y′ 0 0
y 0 c 1 1 , y′ 0 2 c 1 c 2 0 , c 2 − 2 so y 1 e^2 x^ cos x − 2 e^2 x^ sin x
b) Find the solution y 2 satisfying y 0 0 , y′ 0 1
y 0 c 1 0 , y′ 0 2 c 1 c 2 1 , c 2 1 , so y 2 e^2 x^ sin x
c) How do y 1 and y 2 from parts a) and b) allow you to then solve the general initial value problem for this equation, i.e.
y′′^ − 4 y′^ 5 y 0 , y 0 a , y′ 0 b
The solution of this problem is then
y ay 1 by 2 ae^2 x^ cos x − 2 e^2 x^ sin x be^2 x^ sin x ae^2 x^ cos x − 2 a be^2 x^ sin x
(Terminology: The y 1 and y 2 calculated above are called the fundamental set of solutions
normalized at x 0. )
I containing x 0. Show that there is no choice of p, q
for which both y x and y sin 2x are solutions. (Hint: What initial conditions do these
functions satisfy at x 0? )
Via the hint: If we have y 1 x and y 2 sin 2x then y 1 0 0 , y 1 ′^ 0 1 and
y 2 0 0 , y 2 ′^ 0 2. Under the hypotheses of the problem if y 1 and y 2 are solutions that
satisfy these conditions then y 2 ≡ 2 y 1 since both sides would satisfy the same initial
conditions at x 0. Since clearly sin 2x ≠ 2 x these two functions cannot both be solutions of
the given DE under the hypotheses.
Alternately, we can argue that y 1 x and y 2 sin 2x cannot be a fundamental set of
solutions of the DE because W det
x sin 2x
1 2 cos 2x
2 x cos 2x − sin 2x and so W 0 0 but
Wx ≠ 0 for x in an interval about 0 and this can’t happen under the hypotheses of the
problem.

a) If y x is a solution, show that ′x is also a solution.
We have a′′^ b′^ c 0. Taking the derivative, we obtain, a′′′^ b′′^ c′^ 0 so that,
upon rewriting, a′^
′′ b′^
′ c′^ 0. This shows that ′^ is a solution. b) Show that if y x is a solution that satisfies x 0 0 , ′x 0 1 then y ′x is
