    The elimination of the arbitrary constants A, B and C from \[y=A+Bx+C{{e}^{-x}}\]leads to the differential equation [AMU 1999]

    A)                 \[{{{y}'}'}'-{y}'=0\]             

    B)                 \[{{{y}'}'}'-{{y}'}'+{y}'=0\]

    C)                 \[{{{y}'}'}'+{{y}'}'=0\]      

    D)            \[{{y}'}'+{{y}'}'-{y}'=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Given \[y=A+Bx+C{{e}^{-x}}\]                                  ?..(i)                    Þ \[\frac{dy}{dx}=B-C{{e}^{-x}}\]                                            .?.(ii)         Þ \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=C{{e}^{-x}}\]  .?.(iii) and \[\frac{{{d}^{3}}y}{d{{x}^{3}}}=-C{{e}^{-x}}\] ?.(iv)         Adding (iii) and (iv) we get,                                 \[\frac{{{d}^{3}}y}{d{{x}^{3}}}+\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=0\] i.e., \[{y}'''+{y}''=0\].
