Problem number: 36.
ODE order: 3.
ODE degree: 1.

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]]

\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }-4 y^{\prime \prime }+3 y^{\prime }=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{3}-4 \lambda ^{2}+3 \lambda = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= 0\\ \lambda _2 &= 3\\ \lambda _3 &= 1 \end {align*}

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

Summary

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

Verification of solutions

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