Consider the differential equation $${{\text{x}}^2}\frac{{{{\text{d}}^2}{\text{y}}}}{{{\text{d}}{{\text{x}}^2}}} + {\text{x}}\frac{{{\text{dy}}}}{{{\text{dx}}}} - {\text{y}} = 0.$$ Which of the following is a solution to this differential equation for x > 0 ?
A. ex
B. x2
C. $$\frac{1}{{\text{x}}}$$
D. $$l$$n x
Answer: Option C
A. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} - {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
B. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} - {{\text{C}}_2}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
C. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} + {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
D. $${\text{y}} = \left( {{{\text{C}}_1} + {{\text{C}}_2}{\text{x}}} \right){{\text{e}}^{\text{x}}} + {{\text{C}}_3}\cos {\text{x}} - {{\text{C}}_4}\sin {\text{x}}$$
A. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{x}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
B. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
C. $$\sqrt {1 - {{\text{x}}^2}} + \sqrt {1 - {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
D. $$\sqrt {1 + {{\text{x}}^2}} + \sqrt {1 + {{\text{y}}^2}} = {\text{c}}$$
