As an alternative proof that the functions are linearly independent on (∞,-∞) when are distinct, assume holds for all x in (∞,-∞) and proceed as follows:
(a) Because the ri’s are distinct we can (if necessary)relabel them so that .Divide equation (33) by to obtain Now let x→∞ on the left-hand side to obtainC1 = 0.(b) Since C1 = 0, equation (33) becomes
= 0for all x in(∞,-∞). Divide this equation by
and let x→∞ to conclude that C2 = 0.
(c) Continuing in the manner of (b), argue that all thecoefficients, C1, C2, . . . ,Cn are zero and hence are linearly independent on(∞,-∞).
find a general solution to the given equation.
Use the annihilator method to show that ifin (4) has the form
then equation (4) has a particular solution of the form
