Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
y & =\left(C_1+C_2\right) \mathrm{e}^x+\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{e}^{x+\mathrm{C}_4} \\
& =\mathrm{Ae}^x+\mathrm{Be}^x \text {, where } \mathrm{A}=\mathrm{C}_1+\mathrm{C}_2 \text { and } \mathrm{B}=\mathrm{C}_3 \mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{C}_4} \\
& =(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}) \mathrm{e}^x \\
& =\mathrm{De}^x, \text { where } \mathrm{D}=\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{B}
\end{aligned}\)
This equation consist of one arbitrary constant.
