Question: Let the functions f(t) = e t and g(t) = t defined on R. (i) Show using the Wronskian that f and g are linearly
Let the functions f(t) = et and g(t) = t defined on R.
(i) Show using the Wronskian that f and g are linearly independent on R.
(ii) Use the Wronskian to determine the two intervals over which these two functions could be the solution of an ODE of the form y,, +p(t)y, + q(t)y = 0 and for which Abel's theorem would apply.
(iii) Find the ODE of the form given in (ii) of which f and g are solutions, and verify that this ODE is indeed defined only on the intervals obtained in (ii).
