- Know the two criteria that must be satisfied for two functions for form a fundamental set.
- Use the Wronskian to test two functions for linear independence.
- Given a second order, linear, homogeneous differential equation whose characteristic function has real roots, identify whether the solution approaches zero as
- Given a second order, linear, homogeneous initial value problem whose characteristic function has real roots, find a particular solution.
- Know the form of the general solution when a characteristic equation has a repeated real root.
- You will not have to perform a Reduction of Order problem start to finish, but you should know the form of the substitution that allows the reduction of order to work.
