The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_linear_constant_coefficients_ODE"

Maple gives the following as the ode type

[[_3rd_order, _missing_x]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }-3 a y^{\prime \prime }+3 a^{2} y^{\prime }-a^{3} y=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ -a^{3}+3 a^{2} \lambda -3 a \,\lambda ^{2}+\lambda ^{3} = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= a\\ \lambda _2 &= a\\ \lambda _3 &= a \end {align*}

Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)={\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{1} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{3} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{a x}\\ y_2 &= x \,{\mathrm e}^{a x}\\ y_3 &= x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{a x} \end {align*}

Summary

The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= {\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{1} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{3} \\ \end{align*}

Verification of solutions

\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{1} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{2} +x^{2} {\mathrm e}^{a x} c_{3} \] Verified OK.
