The equation of family of curves is
y = e2x (a + b x) ...(1)
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. x, we get,
y1 = e2x b + (a + b x). 2 e2x
or y1 = b e2x + 2 y [∵ of(1)]
∴ y1 – 2 y = be2x ...(2)
Again differentiating w.r.t. x, we get,
y2 – 2 y1 = 2 b e2x
or y2 – 2 y1 = 2 (y1 – 2 y) [∵ of (2)]
or y2 – 2 y1 = 2 y1 – 4 y
or y2 – 4 y1 + 4 y = 0, which is required differential equation.
Obtain the differential equation from the equation y = ex (a cos 2x + b sin 2x). where a and b are arbitrary constants.
