What is a linear constant coefficient differential equation?
Linear constant coefficient ordinary differential equations are useful for modeling a wide variety of continuous time systems. The approach to solving them is to find the general form of all possible solutions to the equation and then apply a number of conditions to find the appropriate solution.
What is the constant coefficient?
The constant coefficient (also known as constant term, free coefficient) is the coefficient not attached to variables in an expression. For example, the constant coefficients of the expressions above are the number 3 and the parameter c, respectively.
How do you find complementary function of linear differential equations with constant coefficients?
Note: A complementary function is the general solution of a homogeneous, linear differential equation. To find the complementary function we must make use of the following property. ycf(x) = Ay1(x) + By2(x) where A, B are constants.
