What exactly is linear dependency? 2nd and 3rd Order Diff EQ

[QUOTE="sparkie, post: 6065480, member: 635892"] We are studying 2nd and 3rd order differential equations in class, and have touched on superposition and were talking about an equation being linearly dependent or independent. I received some good explanations from tutors about this, using vectors as examples, but I'm still a bit unclear on the concept. I'm really trying to think of a way to make the question more specific, but I don't know that I have a good enough grasp conceptually to do that. I do know that I have this one question nagging me, though: What does linear dependence or independence [I]mean[/I] to an nth order constant coefficient non-homogeneous ODE? [/QUOTE]
