Get started for freeHigher-Order Cauchy–Euler Equations. A differential equation that can be expressed in the form
where are constants, is called a homogeneous Cauchy–Euler equation. (The second-order case is discussed in Section 4.7.) Use the substitution to help determine a fundamental solution set for the following Cauchy–Euler equations:
(a)
(b)
(c)

On a smooth horizontal surface, a mass of m1 kg isattached to a fixed wall by a spring with spring constantk1 N/m. Another mass of m2 kg is attached to thefirst object by a spring with spring constant k2 N/m. Theobjects are aligned horizontally so that the springs aretheir natural lengths. As we showed in Section 5.6, thiscoupled mass–spring system is governed by the systemof differential equations
Let’s assume that m1 = m2 = 1, k1 = 3, and k2 = 2.If both objects are displaced 1 m to the right of theirequilibrium positions (compare Figure 5.26, page 283)and then released, determine the equations of motion forthe objects as follows:
(a)Show that x(2) satisfies the equation
(b) Find a general solution x(2) to (36).
(c) Substitute x(2) back into (34) to obtain a generalsolution for y(2)
(d) Use the initial conditions to determine the solutions,x(2) and y(2), which are the equations of motion.
