Question
In the following, verify that the given functions, (explicit or implicit) is a solution of the corresponding differential equation:
: 
Solution
y = ex + 1 ; ...(1)
∴ y' = ex ...(2)
and y'' = ex ...(3)
L.H.S. = y'' – y'
= ex – ex [∵ of (2), (3)]
= 0 = R.H.S.
∴ y = ex + 1 is a solution of y'' – y' = 0
