Equations
HYPOTHESIS. Let f1 , f2 , . . . fm be any m solutions of the
homogeneous linear differential equation(5).

CONCLUSION. Then c1 f1 + c2 f2 + . . . + cm fm is also a solution


of (5), where c1 , c2 , . . . , cm are m arbitrary constants.

multiplied by an arbitrary constant and the resulting products
are then added together, the resulting sum is also a solution of
(5). We may put this theorem in a very simple form by means
of the concept of linear combination.
