The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_linear_constant_coefficients_ODE"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_high_order, _missing_x]]
\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime \prime }-8 y^{\prime \prime \prime }+16 y^{\prime \prime }=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{4}-8 \lambda ^{3}+16 \lambda ^{2} = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= 0\\ \lambda _2 &= 0\\ \lambda _3 &= 4\\ \lambda _4 &= 4 \end {align*}
Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)=c_{2} x +c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{3} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{4} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= 1\\ y_2 &= x\\ y_3 &= {\mathrm e}^{4 x}\\ y_4 &= {\mathrm e}^{4 x} x \end {align*}
Summary
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{2} x +c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{3} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{4} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{2} x +c_{1} +{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{3} +x \,{\mathrm e}^{4 x} c_{4} \] Verified OK.
