Question 1

What is the standard form of a second-order linear differential equation?

$$\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + P(x) \\frac{dy}{dx} + Q(x)y = R(x)$$
$$\\frac{dy}{dx} + P(y) = R(x)$$
$$\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + Q(x) = 0$$

💡 Hint: Look for the order of the derivatives present.

Question 2

Which type of equation is represented by $$R(x) = 0$$?

True
False

💡 Hint: Remember what makes an equation homogeneous.
