If `y_1`and `y_2`are twosolutions to the differential equation `(dy)/(dx)+P(x)y=Q(x)`. Then prove that `y=y_1+c(y_1-y_2)`is thegeneral solution to the equation where `c`is anyconstant. |

Answer» `y_(1), y_(2)` are the solutions of the differential equation `(dy)/(dx) + P(x)y=Q(x)` .............(1) Then `(dy_(1))/(dt) + P(x)y_(1)=Q(x)`............(2) and `(dy_(2))/(dx) + P(x)y_(2)=Q(x)`.............(3) From equations (1) and (2), we get `(d(y-y_(1)))/(dx) + P(x)(y-y_(1))=0`..............(4) and from equation (1) and (2), we get `(d(y_(1)-y_(2)))/(dx) + P(x)(y_(1)-y_(2))=0`.............(5) Now, from equation (4) and (5), we get `(d/(dx)(y-y_(1)))/(d/(dx)(y_(1)-y_(2))) = (y-y_(1))/(y_(1)-y_(2))` or `int(d(y-y_(1))/(y-y_(1))) = int(d(y_(1)-y_(2))/(y_(1)-y_(2)))` or `"ln"(y-y_(1))="ln"(y-y_(2))+"ln"c` or `y-y_(1)=c(y_(1)-y_(2))` or `y=y_(1)+c(y_(1)-y_(2))` or `y-y_(1)=c(y_(1)-y_(2)` or `y=y_(1)+c(y_(1)-y_(2))` |
