I assume you mean y_1=t^{-1}, and not y_1=t-1, since this doesn't satisfy the ODE.

Assume a second solution of the form y_2=vy_1, where v is a function of t. Then

{y_2}'=v'y_1+v{y_1}'

{y_2}''=v''y_1+2v'{y_1}'+v{y_1}''

Substituting into the ODE gives

t^2\left(\dfrac{v''}t-\dfrac{2v'}{t^2}+\dfrac{2v}{t^3}\right)+3t\left(\dfrac{v'}t-\dfrac v{t^2}\right)+\dfrac vt=0

\implies tv''+v'=0

\implies(tv')'=0

\implies tv'=C

\implies v'=\dfrac Ct

\implies v=C_1\ln|t|+C_2

\implies y_2=\dfrac{\ln t}t

where we omit the second term because it's already accounted for by y_1.

two ferries start moving toward each other from opposite riverbanks, a and b. when they pass each other for the first time, the
Usimov [2.4K]

Let 'x' be the distance from THE far bank   where 700 is the distance to the NEAR bank

boat one has travelled 700    (rate = 700/unit time)         boat two has travelled   x    rate = x / unit time

boat one then travels   x  + 400  more      and boat two travels   700 + (700+x -400) more    when they meet

The time is the same      rate x time = distance      distance/rate = time     equate the distances divided by the respective rates

(700 + x + 400)/700     =    (  x  +  700     +  (700+x-400) )/x

1100x + x^2 = 1400x + 700000

x^2-300x -700000 = 0                         quadratic formula yields  x = 1000  

One boat travels 700   the other   1000 whe they first meet.....width of river =   700+ 1000 = 1700 m
