Elimination of Arbitrary Constants

Properties

 The order of differential equation is equal to the number of arbitrary constants in the given
relation.

 The differential equation is consistent with the relation.

 The differential equation is free from arbitrary constants.

Example
Eliminate the arbitrary constants c1 and c2 from the relation
y=c1e−3x+c2e2xy=c1e−3x+c2e2x.

y=c1e−3x+c2e2xy=c1e−3x+c2e2x → equation (1)

y′=−3c1e−3x+2c2e2xy′=−3c1e−3x+2c2e2x → equation (2)

y′′=9c1e−3x+4c2e2xy″=9c1e−3x+4c2e2x → equation (3)

3 × equation (1) + equation (2)

3y+y′=5c2e2x3y+y′=5c2e2x → equation (4)

3 × equation (2) + equation (3)

3y′+y′′=10c2e2x3y′+y″=10c2e2x → equation (5)
2 × equation (4) - equation (5)
2(3y+y′)−(3y′+y′′)=02(3y+y′)−(3y′+y″)=0

6y+2y′−3y′−y′′=06y+2y′−3y′−y″=0

6y−y′−y′′=06y−y′−y″=0 answer
