The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the condition under which the expression \( \alpha y_1 + \beta y_2 \) is a solution of the differential equation \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x) \] given that \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \) are two different solutions of the same equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the given solutions**: We know that \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \) are solutions to the differential equation. Therefore, they satisfy the following equations: \[ \frac{dy_1}{dx} + P(x)y_1 = Q(x) \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ \frac{dy_2}{dx} + P(x)y_2 = Q(x) \quad \text{(2)} \] 2. **Formulate the new solution**: We want to check if \( y = \alpha y_1 + \beta y_2 \) is also a solution of the differential equation. 3. **Differentiate \( y \)**: Differentiate \( y \) with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = \alpha \frac{dy_1}{dx} + \beta \frac{dy_2}{dx} \] 4. **Substitute into the differential equation**: Substitute \( y \) and \( \frac{dy}{dx} \) into the original differential equation: \[ \alpha \frac{dy_1}{dx} + \beta \frac{dy_2}{dx} + P(x)(\alpha y_1 + \beta y_2) = Q(x) \] 5. **Use the equations (1) and (2)**: Replace \( \frac{dy_1}{dx} \) and \( \frac{dy_2}{dx} \) using equations (1) and (2): \[ \alpha (Q(x) - P(x)y_1) + \beta (Q(x) - P(x)y_2) + P(x)(\alpha y_1 + \beta y_2) = Q(x) \] 6. **Simplify the equation**: Expanding the left-hand side, we get: \[ \alpha Q(x) - \alpha P(x)y_1 + \beta Q(x) - \beta P(x)y_2 + P(x)(\alpha y_1 + \beta y_2) = Q(x) \] Combine like terms: \[ (\alpha + \beta) Q(x) + (-\alpha P(x)y_1 + \alpha P(x)y_1) + (-\beta P(x)y_2 + \beta P(x)y_2) = Q(x) \] This simplifies to: \[ (\alpha + \beta) Q(x) = Q(x) \] 7. **Set the coefficients equal**: For the equation to hold for all \( x \), the coefficients of \( Q(x) \) must be equal: \[ \alpha + \beta = 1 \] ### Conclusion: Thus, \( \alpha y_1 + \beta y_2 \) will be a solution of the given differential equation if \[ \alpha + \beta = 1. \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the condition under which the expression \( \alpha y_1 + \beta y_2 \) is a solution of the differential equation \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + P(x)y = Q(x) \] given that \( y_1 \) and \( y_2 \) are two different solutions of the same equation. ...
