Consider the differential equation,
L[y] = y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = 0, (1)
whose coefficients p and q are continuous on some open interval I. Choose some point t0 in I. Let y1 be the solution of equation (1) that also satisfies the initial conditions
y(t0) = 1,
y'(t0) = 0,
and let y2 be the solution of equation (1) that satisfies the initial conditions
y(t0) = 0,
y'(t0) = 1.
Then y1 and y2 form a
fundamental set of solutions of equation (1).
Find the fundamental set of solutions specified by the theorem
above for the given differential equation and initial point.
y'' + 8y' − 9y = 0,
t0 = 0
y1(t) | = | |
y2(t) | = |
