Question Number 170410 by Mastermind last updated on 23/May/22

Given y=xe^(−x) , show that  (d^2 y/dx^2 )+2(dy/dx)+y=0    Mastermind

$${Given}\:{y}={xe}^{−{x}} ,\:{show}\:{that} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }+\mathrm{2}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}+{y}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$${Mastermind} \\ $$

(dy/dx)=e^(−x) −xe^(−x)   (d^2 y/dx^2 )=−2e^(−x) +xe^(−x)   −2e^(−x) +xe^(−x) +2(e^(−x) −xe^(−x) )+xe^(−x) =0

$$\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}=\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{x}} −\mathrm{xe}^{−\mathrm{x}} \\ $$$$\frac{\mathrm{d}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }=−\mathrm{2e}^{−\mathrm{x}} +\mathrm{xe}^{−\mathrm{x}} \\ $$$$−\mathrm{2e}^{−\mathrm{x}} +\mathrm{xe}^{−\mathrm{x}} +\mathrm{2}\left(\mathrm{e}^{−\mathrm{x}} −\mathrm{xe}^{−\mathrm{x}} \right)+\mathrm{xe}^{−\mathrm{x}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$ \\ $$

(dy/dx) = −xe^(−x)  + e^(−x)   (d^2 y/dx^2 ) = xe^(−x) −2e^(−x)   (d^2 y/dx^2 ) +2 (dy/dx) +y = xe^(−x) −2e^(−x) −2xe^(−x) +2e^(−x) +xe^(−x) =0

$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\:=\:−{xe}^{−{x}} \:+\:{e}^{−{x}} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:=\:{xe}^{−{x}} −\mathrm{2}{e}^{−{x}} \\ $$$$\frac{{d}^{\mathrm{2}} {y}}{{dx}^{\mathrm{2}} }\:+\mathrm{2}\:\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}\:+{y}\:=\:{xe}^{−{x}} −\mathrm{2}{e}^{−{x}} −\mathrm{2}{xe}^{−{x}} +\mathrm{2}{e}^{−{x}} +{xe}^{−{x}} =\mathrm{0} \\ $$
