Question 5 of 5
5. Question
Given that `y=e^(px)`, find `p``(d^2y)/(dx^2)-(dy)/(dx)-6y=0`- `p=` (3, -2) or (-2, 3)
Hint
Help VideoCorrect
Correct!
Incorrect
`y’=``(dy)/dx``y”=``(d^2y)/(dx^2)`First, find the first and second derivative of `y`First Derivative:`y` `=` `e^(px)` `y’` `=` `pe^(px)` Second Derivative:`y` `=` `e^(px)` `y”` `=` `p^2e^(px)` Substitute the components into the equation$$\color{#004ec4}{\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}}-\color{#e65021}{\frac{dy}{dx}}-6\color{#00880A}{y}$$ `=` `0` $$\color{#004ec4}{p^2e^{px}}-\color{#e65021}{pe^{px}}-6\color{#00880A}{e^{px}}$$ `=` `0` Substitute known values `(p^2e^(px)-pe^(px)-6e^(px))``divide e^(px)` `=` `0``divide e^(px)` Divide both sides by `e^(px)` `p^2-p-6` `=` `0` Evaluate `(p-3)(p+2)` `=` `0` Factorize Therefore, the value of `p` is `3` and `-2`.`p=3,-2`
