Solve the differential equation d³y/dx³ - 6 d²y/dx² + 11 dy/dx - 6y = 0.

  1. y = (c1 + c2*x + c3*x²)e^x
  2. y = x(c1*e^x + c2*e^(2x) + c3*e^(3x))
  3. y = c1*e^x + c2*e^(2x) + c3*e^(3x)
  4. none of these

Correct answer: y = c1*e^x + c2*e^(2x) + c3*e^(3x)

Solution

The characteristic equation has distinct roots m = 1, 2, 3, so the general solution is a combination of e^x, e^(2x), e^(3x).
