Answer: Solution when right-hand side = 0 (homogeneous part).
- A Solution obtained directly from the right-hand side forcing term
- B Solution when right-hand side = 0 (homogeneous part)
- C The antiderivative of the entire differential equation
- D The multiplying factor that converts the equation into exact form
Correct answer: B. Solution when right-hand side = 0 (homogeneous part)
Explanation: CF: general solution of the homogeneous equation (RHS = 0). The complete solution = CF + PI (particular integral).
The general solution y=Ax² represents an entire FAMILY of curves, one for each value of the arbitrary constant A; a particular solution (fixed by an initial condition) selects exactly one curve from this family.
