Find two linearly independent solutions y1 and y2 of the equation y′′−2y′+5y = 0. Then find the wronskian to prove their linear independence. Then find the particular solution that fulfills the initial conditions y(0) = 2, y′(0) = 1.
Use the Wronskian to determine whether the functions y1 and y2 are linearly independent. The test for independence of the set using the Wronskian is inconclusive because the Wronskian is zero for all x. If the functions y1 and y2 are linearly dependent, find a nontrivial solution to the equation below. If they are linearly independent, enter all zeros to indicate that the only solution to the equation is the trivial solution.
