Show that y = bex + ce2x is a solution of the differential equation,

The differential equation is and the function that is to be proven as solution is

y = bex+ ce2x, now we need to find the values of and .


bex + 2ce2x


bex + 4ce2x


Putting the values of these variables in the differential equation, we get,


bex + 4ce2x – 3(bex + 2ce2x) + 2(bex + ce2x) = 0,


0 = 0


As, L.H.S = R.H.S. the equation is satisfied. Hence, this function is the solution of the differential equation.
