Throughout this WeBWork problem, let and be real numbers with . In this exercise we will discover a method that will allow us to solve linear homogeneous differential equations of the form
An equation of this type, is called a Cauchy-Euler equation.
To solve this equation, we will assume that the solution of the differential equation is of the form where is some number that we need to find. Since when a solution to a Cauchy -Euler equation will be valid for or for . Throughout this assignment, we will assume that .
If we substitute into
, we find that
