Tutorial 3 & 4: 2nd Order Ordinary Differential Equations
- 
Use the Wronskian to show whether the give set of functions is linearly dependent or linearly independent. a. SolutionSince , thus are linearly independent b. SolutionSince and , thus . Linearly independent.

Verify that each of the given functions is a solution of the differential equation, and use their Wronskian to show that these solutions are linearly independent. Verify the linear combination of the solutions is also a solution. a. SolutionFor Both are solution. Since , thus . Linearly independent. b. SolutionFor Both are solution. Linearly independent. c.
