Differential equation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_equationDifferential equations can be divided into several types. Apart from describing the properties of the equation itself, these classes of differential equations can help inform the choice of approach to a solution. Commonly used distinctions include whether the equation is ordinary or partial, linear or non-linear, and homogeneous or heterogeneous. This list is far from exhaustive; there are many other properties and subclasses of differential equations which can be very useful in speci…
Second Order Differential Equations - Maths
nrich.maths.org › 11054The first major type of second order differential equations you'll have to learn to solve are ones that can be written for our dependent variable \(y\) and independent variable \(t\) as: \( \hspace{3 in} a \frac{d^2y}{dt^2} + b \frac{dy}{dt}+cy=0.\) Here \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are just constants.

We see that the second order linear ordinary differential equation has two arbitrary constants in its general solution. The functions y 1(x) and y
Second Order Linear Differential Equations
www.personal.psu.edu › sxt104 › classIn general, given a second order linear equation with the y-term missing y″ + p(t) y′ = g(t), we can solve it by the substitutions u = y′ and u′ = y″ to change the equation to a first order linear equation. Use the integrating factor method to solve for u, and then integrate u to find y. That is: 1. Substitute : u′ + p(t) u = g(t) 2.

There are three cases, depending on the discriminant p 2 - 4q. When it is. positive we get two real roots, and the solution is. y = Ae r 1 x + Be r 2 x
