Question

(a) Verify that the given functions are linearly independent and form a basis of solutions of the given ODE. (b) Solve the IVP. Graph or sketch the solution.

4x2y3y=0,y(1)=3,y(1)=0,x3/2,x1/24x^2y''-3y=0, y(1)=-3, y(1)=0, x^{3/2},x^{-1/2}

We have

4x2y3y=0,  y(1)=3,  y(1)=0,  x32,  x124x^{2}y''-3y=0, \; y\left(1\right)=3, \; y'\left(1\right)=0, \; x^{\frac{3}{2}},\; x^{-\frac{1}{2}}

where,

y1y2=x32x12=x2const\dfrac{y_{1}}{y_{2}}=\dfrac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{x^{-\frac{1}{2}}}=x^{2} \neq \text{const}

and we see that  x32  and  x12\text{and we see that} \; x^{\frac{3}{2}} \; \text{and} \; x^{-\frac{1}{2}} are linearly independent on any interval.
