SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around the evaluation of four mathematical statements regarding differential equations and their solutions. The correct interpretation of the statements is crucial for determining their validity. Specifically, statement 1.1 incorrectly suggests that if \( y' = 3y \), then \( y = e^{2x} \). Statement 1.3 incorrectly states that if \( y' = 2y \), then \( y = 2e^{2x} \). Statements 1.2 and 1.4 lack sufficient information to be evaluated properly.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of differential equations and their solutions
  • Familiarity with exponential functions and their derivatives
  • Knowledge of the general solution form for first-order linear differential equations
  • Basic algebraic manipulation skills
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the general solution of first-order linear differential equations
  • Learn about the method of separation of variables in differential equations
  • Explore the implications of the exponential function in differential equations
  • Review examples of evaluating the validity of differential equation solutions
USEFUL FOR

1.1 Well, if [math]y = e^{2x}[/math] then what is y'? Now check to see if y' = 3y.
1.2 Is missing information. There is no question asked here.
1.3 Again, given y, what is y' ?
1.4. Is missing information again.

Please make an attempt to solve these and please get back to us if you get stuck.
