The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problem, we need to analyze the statements about the solutions of the differential equation \(\frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q\), where \(P\) and \(Q\) are functions of \(x\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Differential Equation**: The given differential equation is: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + Py = Q \] Here, \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) are two solutions of this equation. 2. **Verifying Statement 1**: Statement 1 claims that the linear combination \(ay_1 + by_2\) will be a solution of the differential equation if \(a + b = 1\). - Since \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) are solutions, we have: \[ \frac{dy_1}{dx} + Py_1 = Q \] \[ \frac{dy_2}{dx} + Py_2 = Q \] - Let \(y = ay_1 + by_2\). Then, differentiating \(y\) with respect to \(x\): \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = a\frac{dy_1}{dx} + b\frac{dy_2}{dx} \] - Substituting \(y\) into the differential equation: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} + P(ay_1 + by_2) = a\frac{dy_1}{dx} + b\frac{dy_2}{dx} + P(ay_1 + by_2) \] - Since \(P(ay_1 + by_2) = aPy_1 + bPy_2\), we can write: \[ a\frac{dy_1}{dx} + b\frac{dy_2}{dx} + aPy_1 + bPy_2 = aQ + bQ = Q(a + b) \] - If \(a + b = 1\), then: \[ Q(a + b) = Q \] - Thus, \(y = ay_1 + by_2\) satisfies the differential equation, confirming that Statement 1 is true. 3. **Verifying Statement 2**: Statement 2 claims that the general solution of the differential equation is: \[ y = y_1 + C(y_1 - y_2) \] - We can express this as: \[ y = y_1 + C(y_1 - y_2) = (1 + C)y_1 - Cy_2 \] - Let \(a = 1 + C\) and \(b = -C\). Then: \[ a + b = (1 + C) - C = 1 \] - This shows that the general solution can also be expressed as a linear combination of \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) where \(a + b = 1\), confirming that Statement 2 is also true. ### Conclusion: Both statements are true: - Statement 1 is true: The linear combination \(ay_1 + by_2\) is a solution if \(a + b = 1\). - Statement 2 is true: The general solution can be expressed as \(y = y_1 + C(y_1 - y_2)\).
