Find the general solution of the differential equation d²y/dx² - 2 dy/dx + y = 0.

  1. y = (c1 + c2 x) e^x
  2. y = c1 e^x + c2 e^x
  3. y = (c1 x) e^x
  4. none of these

Correct answer: y = (c1 + c2 x) e^x

Solution

The characteristic equation m² - 2m + 1 = 0 has a repeated root m = 1, so the general solution is y = (c1 + c2 x) e^x.
