Class 12 Maths · Continuity And Differentiability · Long Answer #90

For y=\(P e^{a x} + Q e^{b x}\), prove \(1\)y″ + \(- a - b\)y′ + \(a b\)y = \(0\). Assume all open intervals where the displayed expressions are real and differentiable.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: Identity proved.
  1. Differentiate y=\(P e^{a x} + Q e^{b x}\) to obtain y′=\(P a e^{a x} + Q b e^{b x}\).
  2. Differentiate again, using the product and chain rules: y″=\(P a^{2} e^{a x} + Q b^{2} e^{b x}\).
  3. Substitute these derivatives into the left side \(1\)y″ + \(- a - b\)y′ + \(a b\)y = \(0\). Collecting like terms gives \(0\).
  4. This equals \(0\), proving the identity on the stated domain.
