Let 1
be the larger value and r₂ be the smaller value. We need to show that every member of the family of functions y = aer1× + ber2x is a solution of the differential equation 7y" + 34y' - 5y = 0.
We must decide whether 7f"(x) + 34f'(x) − 5f(x) = 0 for f(x) = ae 1x + be 2x.
Substitute your values for ₁ and 7₂ into f(x), then find f'(x) and f'(x).
We have f'(x) =
