Step 1 We are given the following homogenous differential equation and pair of solutions on the given interval. x²y" - 4xy' + 6y = 0; x², x³, (0, ∞o) We are asked to verify that the solutions are linearly independent. That is, there do not exist constants c₁ and c₂, not both zero, such that c₁x² + ₂x³ = 0. While this may be clear for these solutions that are different powers of x, we have a formal test to verify the linear independence.
