Consider the differential equation y''- y' - 12y = 0
Verify that the functions e^-3x and e^4x form a fundamental set of solutions of the differential equation on the interval (-inf, inf).
The functions satisfy the differential equation and are linearly independent since the Wronskian W(e^-3x, e^4x)

![Consider the equation y'' - y' - 2y = 0. (a) Show that y1(t) = e^-t and y2(t) = e^2t form a fundamental set of solutions. (b) Let y3(t) = -2e^2t , y4(t) = y1(t) + 2y2(t), and y5(t) = 2y1(t) - 2y3(t). Are y3(t), y4(t), and y5(t) also solutions of the given differential equation? (c) Determine whether each of the following pairs forms a fundamental set of solutions: [y1(t), y3(t)]; [y2(t), y3(t)]; [y1(t), y4(t)]; [y4(t), y5(t)].](https://www.doubtrix.com/js/ckeditor/filemanager/connectors/php/editor/1685797784-Q22.png)
