show that y1(x) = e^(2+i)x and y2(x) = e^(2-i)x, i=sqrt(-1) are two linearly independent functions

hence obtain a second order linear differential equation with constant coefficients each that y1(x) and y2(x) are its two fundamental solutions.

my attempt :

for the first part, I use the definition of wroskian = y1y2'-y2y1' and show it not equal to zero... ok

the second part, I don't know how to do it...

how to get the second order differential equation?

is that setting : (r+2+i)(r+2-i) to get the auxillary equation? is that possible? can someone show me to solve this problem?:confused:

If you want that auxiliary equation, what will be the differential equation? When you get it, you can check whether the two original functions satisfy it.
 
how to do that... still blurr...
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
