Consider the second order homogeneous linear differential equa-tion: y'' + p(x) y' + q(x) y = 0 where p(x) and q(x) are continuous functions, then (1) Two linearly independent solutions of the equation can always be found. (2) Let y 1 (x) and y 2 (x) be any two solutions of the homogeneous equa-tion, then any linear combination of them (i.e., c ...
