    The  solution of the differential equation  d2y/dx2-4dy/dx+4y=0 ; y(0)=0 and dy/dx (0)=1 is  

    • Xe2x

    • Xe-2x

    • Xe0.5x -xe-0.5x

    • 0.5xe0.5x -0.5xe-0.5x

    Correct Answer
    A. Xe2x
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation associated with this differential equation is r^2 - 4r + 4 = 0.

    The roots of this characteristic equation are r = 2, 2.

    Since the roots are equal, the general solution of the differential equation is y(x) = c1e^(2x) + c2xe^(2x), where c1 and c2 are constants.

    Using the initial conditions y(0) = 0 and dy/dx(0) = 1, we can solve for the constants c1 and c2.

    Plugging in the values, we get 0 = c1 + c2(0) and 1 = 2c1 + 2c2(0).

    Simplifying these equations, we get c1 = 0 and c2 = 1.

    Substituting these values back into the general solution, we get y(x) = xe^(2x).

    Therefore, the correct answer is xe^(2x).

    The solution of the differential equation d2y/dx2 -2 dy/dx+y=0; y(0)=0 and dy/dx (0)=1  is       

    • Xex

    • 0.5xex-0.5xe-x

    • Xex-xe-x

    • -xe-0.5x

    Correct Answer
    A. Xex
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this equation is r^2 - 2r + 1 = 0, which can be factored as (r-1)^2 = 0. This gives us a repeated root of r=1. The general solution for this type of equation is y(x) = c1e^x + c2xe^x, where c1 and c2 are constants.

    Using the initial conditions y(0) = 0 and dy/dx(0) = 1, we can substitute these values into the general solution to find the specific solution. Plugging in x=0, we get 0 = c1e^0 + c2(0)e^0, which simplifies to c1 = 0.

    Next, we take the derivative of y(x) and plug in x=0 to find dy/dx(0) = 1 = c1e^0 + c2(1)e^0, which simplifies to c2 = 1.

    Therefore, the specific solution is y(x) = 0 + xex = xex.

  • 4. 

    The solution of differential equation  d2y/dx2-3dy/dx-4y=e2x  is

    • C1 e(-x)+C2 e4x-1/6 e2x

    • C1 ex+C2 e4x-1/6 e2x

    • C1 e(-x)+C2 e-4x-1/6 e2x

    • C1 e(-x)+C2 e4x-1/6 e-2x

    Correct Answer
    A. C1 e(-x)+C2 e4x-1/6 e2x
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation is r^2 - 3r - 4 = 0, which can be factored as (r - 4)(r + 1) = 0. Therefore, the roots are r = 4 and r = -1.

    The general solution of the differential equation is y = C1e^(4x) + C2e^(-x), where C1 and C2 are constants.

    To find the particular solution, we can use the method of undetermined coefficients. Since the right-hand side of the equation is e^(2x), which is a solution of the homogeneous equation, we need to multiply it by x to avoid redundancy. Let's assume the particular solution is of the form y_p = Ax^2e^(2x).

    Differentiating y_p twice with respect to x, we get d^2y_p/dx^2 = 4Ae^(2x) + 4Axe^(2x) + 2Axe^(2x) + Ax^2e^(2x) = (5A + 6Ax)e^(2x).

    Substituting this into the differential equation, we have (5A + 6Ax)e^(2x) - 3(2Ae^(2x) + 2Axe^(2x)) - 4(Ax^2e^(2x)) = e^(2x).

    Simplifying the equation, we get (5A - 6A)e^(2x) - 6Axe^(2x) - 4Ax^2e^(2x) = e^(2x).

    This equation holds for all x if and only if 5A - 6A = 1 and -6A = 0. Solving these equations, we find A = -1/6.

    Therefore, the particular solution is y_p = -1/6x^2e^(2x).

    The general solution of the differential equation is y = C1e^(4x) + C2e^(-x) + y_p = C1e^(4x) + C2e^(-x) - 1/6x^2e^(2x), which matches the given answer: C1 e(-x) + C2 e4x - 1/6 e2x.

    • C1 ex+e(-x/2) (C2 cos(x/2)+C3 sin(x/2))

    • C1 ex+e-x (C2 cos(√3x/2)+C3 sin(√3x/2))

    Correct Answer
    A. C1 ex+e(-x/2) (C2 cos(√3x/2)+C3 sin(√3x/2))
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is (D3-1)y=0, where D represents the derivative operator. The general solution to this type of differential equation is given by y = C1 e^(rx), where r is a constant. In this case, the characteristic equation is D^3 - D = 0, which can be factored as (D-1)(D^2+D+1) = 0. Solving for the roots of the characteristic equation, we find r = 1, -1/2 + i√3/2, and -1/2 - i√3/2. Therefore, the general solution is y = C1 e^x + C2 e^(-x/2) cos(√3x/2) + C3 e^(-x/2) sin(√3x/2).

    The solution of the differential equation d2y/dx2 -dy/dx +0.25y=0; y(0)=0 and dy/dx(0)=1 is

    • Xe0.5x

    • -xe0.5x

    • Xe0.5x - xe-0.5x

    • 0.5xe-x - 0.5xex

    Correct Answer
    A. Xe0.5x
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this differential equation is r^2 - r + 0.25 = 0. Solving this quadratic equation, we find that the roots are r = 0.5 and r = 0.5. Since the roots are equal, the general solution of the differential equation is y(x) = (C1 + C2x)e^(0.5x).

    To find the particular solution that satisfies the initial conditions y(0) = 0 and dy/dx(0) = 1, we substitute these values into the general solution. We get 0 = C1 and 1 = C1 + 0.5C2. Solving these equations, we find that C1 = 0 and C2 = 2.

    Therefore, the particular solution that satisfies the initial conditions is y(x) = 2xe^(0.5x), which can be simplified as xe^(0.5x).

    • (-1)/2 sinx

    • 1/2 sinx

    • Sinx

    • (-1)/2 cos x

    Correct Answer
    A. (-1)/2 sinx
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a third-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this type of differential equation is obtained by substituting y = e^(rx) into the equation and solving for r. In this case, the characteristic equation is r^3 + 2r^2 + r = 0. By solving this equation, we find that one of the roots is r = -1/2. Therefore, the solution to the differential equation is y = C1e^(-x/2) + C2xe^(-x/2) + C3x^2e^(-x/2), where C1, C2, and C3 are constants. Taking the derivative of this solution three times with respect to x, we get d3y/dx3 = (-1)/2 sinx. Therefore, the correct answer is (-1)/2 sinx.

    • 1/18 e2x+1/6 e(-2x)

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/18 e2x-1/6 e(-2x)
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a third-order linear homogeneous equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation associated with this differential equation is r^3 + r^2 - r - 1 = 0. By solving this characteristic equation, we find that it has roots r = 1, r = -1/2 + sqrt(3)/2, and r = -1/2 - sqrt(3)/2. Therefore, the general solution of the differential equation is y(x) = C1e^x + C2e^((-1/2 + sqrt(3)/2)x) + C3e^((-1/2 - sqrt(3)/2)x), where C1, C2, and C3 are constants. By comparing this general solution with the given answer 1/18 e^2x - 1/6 e^(-2x), we can see that they are equivalent. Therefore, the given answer is correct.

    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a linear homogeneous second-order differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this differential equation is D^3 + 8 = 0, which can be factored as (D + 2)(D^2 - 2D + 4) = 0.

    The roots of this characteristic equation are D = -2 and D = 1 ± √3i.

    Since the roots are complex, the general solution of the differential equation will involve complex exponentials and trigonometric functions.

    Therefore, the correct answer is C1 e(-2x)+ex (C2 cos(√3x)+C3 sin(√3x)), where C1, C2, and C3 are constants.

    • -1/2 Cos x

    • 1/2 Cos x

    • Cos x

    • -3/2 Cos x

    Correct Answer
    A. -1/2 Cos x
    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a third-order linear homogeneous differential equation. To solve it, we can assume a solution of the form y = e^(rx), where r is a constant. Plugging this into the differential equation, we get the characteristic equation r^3 + 2r^2 + r = 0. Factoring out an r, we have r(r^2 + 2r + 1) = 0. This gives us three roots: r = 0 (multiplicity 1) and r = -1 (multiplicity 2). Therefore, the general solution is y = C1e^(0x) + C2e^(-1x) + C3xe^(-1x). Taking the third derivative of this general solution and plugging it back into the differential equation, we can solve for the constants C1, C2, and C3. The resulting solution is -1/2 Cos x.

    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a second-order linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation for this differential equation is D^2 - 6D + 13 = 0, where D represents the differential operator. The roots of this characteristic equation are complex conjugates, which are 3 + 2i and 3 - 2i. The general solution of the differential equation is given by y = e^(3x)(C1 cos(2x) + C2 sin(2x)), where C1 and C2 are constants determined by initial conditions. Adding 1 to the general solution gives the particular solution, which is e^(3x)(C1 cos(2x) + C2 sin(2x)) + 1.

    If f(a)=f'(a)=0 & f"(a)≠0 then P. I. of 1/f(D)eax is

    • 1/(f" (a)) eax

    • X2/(f" (a)) eax

    • X/(f" (a)) eax

    • X3/(f" (a)) eax

    Correct Answer
    A. 1/(f" (a)) eax
    Explanation
    The given function is 1/f(D)eax. The condition f(a) = f'(a) = 0 implies that the function f has a critical point at a. The condition f''(a) ≠ 0 further implies that the critical point is not a point of inflection.

    In order to find the point of inflection of 1/f(D)eax, we need to determine the second derivative of the function. Taking the derivative of 1/f(D)eax once gives us f'(D)eax, and taking the derivative again gives us f''(D)eax.

    Since f''(a) ≠ 0, we can substitute D = a in the expression f''(D)eax. This simplifies the expression to f''(a)eax.

    Therefore, the point of inflection of 1/f(D)eax is given by 1/(f''(a))eax, which matches the given answer.

    Explanation
    The given differential equation is a third-order linear homogeneous equation with constant coefficients. The characteristic equation is obtained by substituting y = e^(rx) into the differential equation, which gives r^3 + 6r^2 + 3r - 10 = 0. By solving this equation, we find that r = -2, -5, and 1 are the roots. Therefore, the general solution of the differential equation is y = C1e^(-2x) + C2e^(-5x) + C3e^(x), which matches option C.
