Chapter 4: Q28E (page 164)
In Problems 27–32, use Definition 1 to determine whether the functions y1and y2are linearly dependent on the interval (0, 1).
28. y1(t) = e3t, y2(t) = e-4t
Short Answer
The functions are not linearly dependent.

Discontinuous Forcing Term. In certain physical models, the nonhomogeneous term, or forcing term, g(t) in the equation
may not be continuous but may have a jump discontinuity. If this occurs, we can still obtain a reasonable solution using the following procedure. Consider the initial value problem;
Where,
Find a general solution to the differential equation.
Decide whether or not the method of undetermined coefficients can be applied to find a particular solution of the given equation.
Solve the given initial value problem.
