Find the general solution of the given higher-order differential equation. y''' − 8y'' − 9y' = 0

Sagot :

The general solution of the given higher-order differential equation y''' − 8y'' − 9y' = 0 is ,    [tex]y = C_{1} + C_{2} e^{8x} + C_{3}e^{-x}[/tex]

Given higher-order differential equation = y''' − 8y'' − 9y' = 0

We have to find the general solution of the above differential equation

The auxiliary equation for the above differential equation will be :                             [tex]m^{3} - 8m^{2} - 9m = 0[/tex]

Solve the equation :- [tex]m^{3} - 8m^{2} -9m = 0[/tex]

                                  [tex]m ( m^{2} - 8m - 9 ) = 0[/tex]

                                  m ( m - 8 ) ( m + 1 ) = 0

                                  m = 0 , m = 8 , m = -1

Then the general solution will be like :

[tex]y = C_{1} e^{0x} + C_{2} e^{x} +C_{3}e^{-1x}[/tex]

The above solution can be written as:

[tex]y = C_{1} +C_{2} e^{8x} +C_{3} e^{-x}[/tex]
