Find a general solution to y’’’ - 3y’ - y = 0 by using Newton’s method or some other numerical procedure to approximate the roots of the auxiliary equation.
Determine the largest interval (a, b) for which Theorem 1 guarantees the existence of a unique solution on (a, b) to the given initial value problem.
Determine whether the given functions are linearly dependent or linearly independent on the specified interval. Justify your decisions.

As an alternative proof that the functions are linearly independent on (∞,-∞) when are distinct, assume holds for all x in (∞,-∞) and proceed as follows:
(a) Because the ri’s are distinct we can (if necessary)relabel them so that .Divide equation (33) by to obtain Now let x→∞ on the left-hand side to obtainC1 = 0.(b) Since C1 = 0, equation (33) becomes
= 0for all x in(∞,-∞). Divide this equation by
and let x→∞ to conclude that C2 = 0.
(c) Continuing in the manner of (b), argue that all thecoefficients, C1, C2, . . . ,Cn are zero and hence are linearly independent on(∞,-∞).
