Hi guys! How's it going? OK so I'm like totally stuck and I have no idea how to do this. View attachment 4011
A Wronskian is a mathematical tool used in linear algebra to determine whether a set of functions is linearly independent or dependent.
The Wronskian is calculated by taking the determinant of a matrix formed by the given set of functions and their derivatives.
The Wronskian can tell us whether a set of functions is linearly independent (Wronskian is non-zero) or linearly dependent (Wronskian is zero).
The Wronskian has various applications in differential equations, such as determining the existence of a fundamental set of solutions and solving systems of linear differential equations.
No, the Wronskian is only applicable for linear functions. For non-linear functions, other methods such as the Jacobian determinant must be used.
