Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(y=c_{1}\{u(x)-v(x)\}+c_{2} v(x), c_{1}\) and \(c_{2}\) are arbitrary constants

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We know that \(u(x)\) and \(v(x)\) are two independent solutions of the given differential equation, then their linear combination is also the solution of the given equation. Here, we see that \(y=5 u(x)+8 v(x)\) is a linear combination and \(y=c_{1}\{u(x)-v(x)\}+c_{2} v(x)\) is…
