Second Order Differential Equations
epsassets.manchester.ac.uk › medialand › mathsSubstitution into the given equation yields: k2ekx −ke kx−6ekx = 0 that is (k2 −k −6)e = 0 The only way this equation can be satisfied for all values of x is if k2 −k −6 = 0 that is, (k − 3)(k + 2) = 0 so that k = 3 or k = −2. That is to say, if y = ekx is to be a solution of the differential equation, k must be either 3 or −2.
Simplifying Through Substitution
howellkb.uah.edu › public_html › DEtextof x . This results in a new differential equation with u being the function of interest. If the substitution truly is clever, then this new differential equation will be separable or linear (or, maybe, even directly integrable), and can be be solved for u in terms of x using methods discussed in previous chapters.
