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]]
\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime }-2 y^{\prime \prime }-4 y^{\prime }+8 y=0} \] The characteristic equation is \[ \lambda ^{3}-2 \lambda ^{2}-4 \lambda +8 = 0 \] The roots of the above equation are \begin {align*} \lambda _1 &= -2\\ \lambda _2 &= 2\\ \lambda _3 &= 2 \end {align*}
Therefore the homogeneous solution is \[ y_h(x)=c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-2 x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{2 x} c_{3} \] The fundamental set of solutions for the homogeneous solution are the following \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{-2 x}\\ y_2 &= {\mathrm e}^{2 x}\\ y_3 &= {\mathrm e}^{2 x} x \end {align*}
Summary
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-2 x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{2 x} c_{3} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{1} {\mathrm e}^{-2 x}+c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{2 x}+x \,{\mathrm e}^{2 x} c_{3} \] Verified OK.
